our thanks. for the nine thousand yellow vests protesters take to the streets of france despite a government warning that soldiers could open fire if writers endangered lives a chorus but the british government conic landmarks for protests but it seems at this saturday the demonstrators found an other well known location. u.s. backed kurdish forces in syria can declare victory over his islamic state after capturing its last foothold a week after donald trump claims the terror group can be defeated. around one million people descend on central london for an anti brags that margin made growing out and go over the way the u.k. government has handled probes.
8:01 pm
a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with mina king at the top story this hour a nineteenth weekend of yellow vests rallies has gripped france although this time with already has banned marches in certain areas including key parts of the capital in nice on the south coast an elderly woman was severely injured when police forced protesters from a central square she reportedly hit her head on the floor and police were quick to give medical help from paris where the protests were more peaceful here's our correspondent medina caution of. several thousand people marched across the city center and just sounded on the steps of this famous zachary current cathedral which is located right and the north of the city there shouting slogans many brought flags representing different unions that they came from they also brought political
8:02 pm
posters but overall this demonstration seems to be rather peaceful paris is beefed up with the security at the moment as the french government decided to close several iconic landmarks that used to be the meeting point for many protesters here and also the french government decided to deploy armed soldiers in this sheets of the capital and impose fines for those who decide to violate those new measures and see new disorder the soldiers are strictly set out extremely precise they have different modes of action to face or threats it could go as far as a pinning fire if they are all someone else's life is a threat we spoke to some people living here and it seems very easy as hell that divided over such measure. i think this is an extreme measure obviously this will not solve everything but at least it will help to avoid further destruction and i don't know for sure i don't think anything good will come of the government's decision to use the army but if you see his own ass for what he did last saturday
8:03 pm
burned down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure. it's not the armis mission that shows the failure of the government and the failure of our petition is so you. know i think if the army opens fire it will prove that crisis management is not sufficient i think they're bringing in the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not just the problem yellow bus protests continue for the nineteenth weekend but this saturday it's a different location it is less a violent a but of the movement continues. the syrian democratic forces have declared a final victory over islamic state after capturing the terrorist groups last pockets of resistance. this minute yeah then our medical what sort of the mcleod on behalf of the syrian democratic forces and all the soldiers and allies that fought with us in the same trenches today we announced the defeat of the so-called islamic
8:04 pm
state and the end of its ground control in its last pocket in the buy goods region they relate to our focus has been a focal point for the s.d.f. a several weeks the final assault was delayed due to thousands of civilians trapped and i thought last stronghold. i joined my colleagues in the studio to talk more on the issue. isis is global it's in afghanistan it's growing it's in iraq it's in africa it is essentially international what is happening isis is still there in the countryside there in the desert to say that isis has been defeated is is i would say in outright lie and many and take a long time to get rid of them nevertheless washington is selling this as a political win is a political message and a big isis on klav has been destroyed and not as what trump is saying we have won
8:05 pm
against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now we've won it's time to come back we just took over you know you kept hearing it was ninety percent ninety two percent the caliphate in syria. jumped back and forth declaring victory saying there's another battle another victory so we'll see how long it will be before the next time they declare a last victory and what will this mean then for the four hundred u.s. troops that are still in syria well there's a there's a few hundred. foot is a border crossing between syria and iraq the united states was quick to jump the stablish the presence they've kept it for years it basically cut off syria and iraq so an iran iraq damascus syria route is impossible while those troops are there basically the united states holding out for along with the rebels there
8:06 pm
is a strategic move it is a pain for the syrian government it's. basically a thorn in their side nevertheless there is a lot of united states allies on the ground syrian kurds for example who they've armed to the teeth and my bet is and many other pundits experts predict this that the united states will stay to safeguard those allies syrian kurds against. while we have completed the territorial defeat of isis in syria and iraq. we still have much work to do we've been clear that the campaign is not over we will continue to support the coalition's operations in syria to ensure this enduring defeat as for the final victory again trump possesses the troubles jump that that is said that you know declared final victory of isis they've been
8:07 pm
destroyed here it's all my. it's all you know of my achievement but no they aren't destroyed they're hiding out they're still in those tunnels underground they're hiding among among civilian populations reserve what's left of their dwindling personnel and capabilities by taking their chances in camps for internally displaced persons and going to ground in remote areas they waiting for the right time to reemerge many of them as zealots they're still as fanatically loyal to isis as they were when it all began. central london has seen one of its biggest protests in recent history organizers of an anti brags that marta say more than a million people took to the streets calling for a second referendum it comes amid increasing uncertainty over the u.k.'s divorce from the e.u. on thursday it is agreed to postpone the country's withdrawal deadline but only by a few weeks the prime minister to resign may will now try to get the british
8:08 pm
parliament to approve her deal despite it having been rejected twice already however she is now warning that vote might not take place next week as expected throwing bricks it into further disarray following all the twists and turns his party boy. remember that simpsons episode where bart keeps touching the electrified cupcake. it all looks a bit like terrorism a's attempt to get her bread as it deals through parliament the woman tasked with leading the country at its grave us to our since world war two hasn't got many people up to defend her it's just going all night and on and on she is the roadblock to this house reaching a majority when will she develop a backbone and stand down to do was this mission to disaster week rick rick britain's departure from the e.u.
8:09 pm
is likely to be delayed and the wheels off boiling off the brags that bus but if you think about it to reason may wasn't the one that called the referendum in the first place a certain previous prime minister did and she has hammered out that deal with the e.u. like she was supposed to but the politicians in parliament won't sign off on it because some of them are hard bragg's it is that want to stick it to brussels and many of them remain is that want to stick with brussels and pleasing the politicians in a predominantly remain a parliament while carrying out the will of the people is turning into an impossible task some say she's trapped like the time she couldn't get out of this car carrying the poisoned brake that challenge. even donald trump has had a dig i'm surprised at how badly it's all gone voices of support are rare i don't
8:10 pm
always agree with her but i know her to be a woman of coverage i also feel sorrier for because we have actually given her an impartial trot for critics though there's no excusing mase bungled bragg's it with public anger over greg's it running high. laughing at the prime minister has become a national pastime. come with me and together let's see. what's. the very thing like that. and who can forget her famous catch phrase bricks it means bricks it years from now to reason may is likely to be seen as the braggs it prime minister that her legacy depends on
8:11 pm
its head message to the people of britain is that she's trying her hardest to deliver britain's departure from you this your charge of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rounds tired of m.p.'s talking about nothing else but bricks it when you have real concerns about our children schools our national health service knife crime. you want this stage of the bricks process to be over and done with i agree on your side she might be forgiven for wondering if there is anyone left on her. political consultant klinsmann moratti explained why every step in the brics it process is only making the situation more complicated. when briggs it was first announced as an idea as a concept and there was no meat on the board as to what the concept of what the process actually would mean and we start off in
8:12 pm
a place with such uncertainty there's no surprise us to the situation room now so unless the identity of briggs it is made clear that disruptions and be stalling methods will only continue i think so. right now in parliament is that. it's almost an impossibility of this deal going through and if it does go through it will go through under very pressured measures which means peace in parliament won't vote with what they believe is to be the best way for forward but war do it because the time pressures are so tight which almost holds parliament to run and saying this is the only deal we have and you better put it through because your certainties are too big and too widespread to even imagine. a long awaited report into alleged russian collusion in the twenty sixteen us presidential election has finally been submitted by the special counsel robert mueller the confidential document was handed to the justice department which says miller has not recommended
8:13 pm
any new indictments has kaleb more pain with the details. report has been submitted the final report from bob muller the special counsel appointed two years ago to look into allegations that donald trump had colluded with russia during the two thousand and sixteen elections and at this point no further indictments are being called for we're hearing from the white house which has spoken up and said the next steps are up to attorney general barr and we look forward to the process taking its course white house has not seen the report does not know what it contains it was simply submitted to the department of justice has long maintained there was nothing for special counsel robert mueller to find he's stood firm in saying that there was nothing to the allegations made against him let it come out let people see it that's up to the attorney general we have a very good attorney general he's a very highly respected and we'll see what happens there's no collusion there was no collusion there was no obstruction there was no nothing it appears that this bob
8:14 pm
moeller report is a bit of a failure it hasn't turned up any big indictments related to russia collusion it's been two years long but we've already heard democratic party leaders talking about other options they have for keeping the scandal these scandalous allegations related to trump and russia alive now adam schiff a democrat in congress recently floated this idea for keeping the story going i said he agreed that the counterintelligence investigation may be more important than the criminal investigation because it goes to present threat to our national security whether the president and anybody around him a compromised by a foreign power there's been many occasions in which the u.s. public was told that some two years the report has finally concluded and people are waiting to see what is made public from that report after the u.s. attorney general makes that decision. for a u.s. presidential hopeful for the libertarian party things the democrats to benefit the
8:15 pm
most from the private. what we've seen so far has been basically a joke this whole thing was supposed to find a russia russian called lucian and so far all the indictments all the guilty pleas that there have been guilty pleas and all the people found guilty in court have been found guilty of things better other than russian collusion this was supposed to be a big whole thing that was going to under under uncover some connection between trump and russia and it turns out to be just a bunch of petty usual nonsense just normal politics this is not russia inclusion this is a waste of time effort and energy so i expected or democrats will drag this out as much as they possibly can not because they think there's anything to be found but because they know that this trial this kind of circ is is helping to energize the democratic base helping them to say like look trump is really bad for these reasons . and waiting rescuers are evacuating thirteen hundred people from
8:16 pm
a luxury cruise liner off the country's west coast one passenger films the moment the ship began to lurch violently after an engine failure during stormy weather. according to those onboard windows were smashed and water came in at least eight people were injured in the east coast downstage inviting sky sent out a maze a signal after it started drifting towards land you say the ship is now safely anchored down the remaining passengers will be taken to shore four helicopters are involved in the rescue operation which is expected to continue throughout the night . so those are your headlines for this half hour we'll be coming back into a few minutes with the rest.
8:17 pm
regulations and well long with the invisible hand because whenever you put the spent together they will try to fix prices so in the us like saying well let's scrap that will end up with market fundamentals we only believe in price and price manipulation even more so the profits because profits are the result of the counting and the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms that you can pay to have any result you want. what holds his hands to you should. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. want to be rich.
8:18 pm
but you're going to be close with what before three of them or ten people. interested always in the waters of. your. welcome back a canadian opposition lawmaker has lashed out of the prime minister calling him a fake feminist and a fiery parliamentary session michelle rand paul accused justin trudeau of silencing powerful women in an ongoing corruption scandal. the use of the term feminist. one more time if this prime minister such a minister why see muscling the former attorney. the former attorney general who the lawmaker just mentioned was one of the first to blow the whistle on a bribery case that shaken the canadian government to its core jody wilson raybold says she was pressured by trudeau to drop an investigation into canadian
8:19 pm
engineering giant s. and c. . the company is one of the world's largest construction firms it allegedly paid ninety eight million dollars to gadhafi era officials to secure lucrative contracts including the world's biggest irrigation project all the is now accused of being a fake feminist trudeau had earlier heaped praise on those defending women's rights and proudly declared that's exactly what he does although critics claim he was just looking to score cheap political points. being a feminist is the right thing to do but it's also the smart thing to do i'm going to keep saying loud and clearly that i am a feminist men should be feminists as wow now pound of that maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind so we'd like you to look for it we're going to see people coming not necessarily mankind.
8:20 pm
there's lots of things you can do for your mentor feminist as a man but here's a simple one interim leader. is not about holding true to one's values it is not about actually having a code of ethics it is about winning elections you know government has made it such a priority they have used accusations of sexism they have used the term feminist to prop up their party so much that the other conservatives are almost forced to bring this up in the conversation because they have made it such an important political debate so if your party is going to be about equality half
8:21 pm
women half men in the parliament that is going to be the hill that your party guys on that you better stand on if you're going to use that as a weapon well then be prepared for that to be used as a weapon against you trudeau when you don't live up to your own values this will certainly make it a closer election than i initially thought and i think the conservatives could have a chance at taking things if trudeau continues down this road of scandal after scandal. you can the gratian officials are facing questions after it was revealed that he used bible but used bible quotes to reject an asylum seeker from iran. i am extremely concerned that the government department could determine the future of another human being based on such a profound misunderstanding of the texts and practices of faith communities i've seen a lot over the years but even i was genuinely shocked to read this unbelievably offensive diatribe being used to justify refusal of asylum it's not the role of the home
8:22 pm
office to play theological it is very hard to leave the person is selling the truth and you need to think about what the person's motivations are but to go as far as to dig out specific verses to try and just a fiery claim seems extremely bizarre i have never seen anything quite like this one the asylum seeker who has not been identified father claiming twenty sixty and eighty said he had converted from islam to christianity because it's a peaceful religion but immigration officials used quotes from the bible in a bid to disprove his claim. in the verticals chapter twenty six god states you will pursue your enemies and they will fall by the sword before you the book of revelation is filled with imagery of revenge destruction death and violence these examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion the home office is the rejection letter was a one off not in line with general policies adding that it will work on more
8:23 pm
training for staff we spoke with the chairman of an immigration consultancy firm somewhere arlie he thinks that the home office is looking for excuses to turn down refugees. it is surprising that the home office should behave that way but you know unfortunately in some respects it's not surprising because they are you know quite unreasonable around help for. a looking for excuses to turn down a side in cases even cases which many people would consider to be quite genuine so you know the unfortunate there we are the home office. are quite inventive in a way and can come up with you know whole range of reasons to fuse a side of you know which can be completely unjustified you know unfortunately governments want to have been tough on immigration and the home office are under pressure to be nasty are helpful and so on for sure that's what's happening so
8:24 pm
perhaps it's not just the home office officials fault was also the government's for for encouraging officials to be nasty unhelpful. investigators have flown to a remote part of russia zero mountains in a bid to finally solve a six decade long mystery back in one nine hundred fifty eight a group of nine hikers were found dead attack a nuclear leak and even aliens investigators aim to reconstruct the incident with their findings are expected to be released later this year well we like to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media leaving all your comments that we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get off of
8:25 pm
the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you that. is a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implement from the inside venezuela things were different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associate the famous would have a son of a moment goes. down for something political battle song moon the path to the madness of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new nixon told in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy
8:26 pm
would be to make the economy of venezuela screech. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit. max kaiser this is the kaiser report baringo bro hahaha stacy what's erin go bragh
8:27 pm
that's like means a happy leprechaun day an irish gaelic or something but i see it on many of the hats during the st paddy's day parade in new york i must mean something well i'm sure you're pronouncing merong and many comments on the you tube will tell us so but nevertheless you know in the second half we're talking to dr michael hudson he's the author of super imperialism and his latest book is called and forgive them their debt so. a kind of have a headlines here involving the end of super imperialism he in his book from twenty thirty years ago he wrote about the super imperialism of america using the u.s. dollar and that an arc lobel hedge money but the global had him on is falling apart and that is in the headlines this week when it comes to aviation regulation the united states ain't the hedge amman anymore so we have them easing story last week of after the aftermath of the disaster and ethiopia when ethiopian airlines went
8:28 pm
down is that ethiopian airlines chose not to give the black box in fact they stated that they did not want to give the black box to american regulators and officials because they did not trust america to give an impartial opinion about what happened to the plane because most people reckon reckon that it's something to do with a flaw in boeing and of course the americans are the last of all about this i saw an interesting interview with steve mccall bear in tulsa gabbert who is running for president and the stephen colbert was wrecking the case well merit goes the policeman of the world and people of the world looks to america for god is america is the shining city on the hill right and you know. she was making the point that maybe you need to revisit this notion and a lot of these interferences and these foreign affairs cause of blowback and a lot more problems but this is a great story that shows exactly to the extent that the empire has fallen that the rest of the world does doesn't trust the u.s.
8:29 pm
to review any of this material when it comes to serious stuff like trying to figure out why these planes are blowing going in the wrong direction etc so it's really diminishing the whole role of the u.s. across you know the entire commercial and political spectrum and it was the first time ever in history in modern aviation whereby it was not the f.a.a. that led the f.a.a. the federal aviation authority in america it was the one that will ground an air craft that will say no the air bus something something cannot fly here or whatever airline cannot fly over america and then other nations follow america was the last to concede that yes this this aircraft is perhaps not safe every other nation even the last to go was canada and even though so when they lost canada it was like losing walter cronkite america finally had to step forward and say ok we're going to ground's aircraft all right nixon's comment during the vietnam war they lost walter cronkite but right so america is
8:30 pm
a lot the last to know and that's a pattern that we'll see repeated now in the america would just be the last to know it's easy to put the blame on trump because he is a little bit erratic and speaks want but it's been a slow process and it's something that kaiser report has been covering the past ten years and you saw.
