it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program. is the twenty third day of antigovernment rallies in france as the so-called yellow vest gather again nationwide is the first time that since the not shut down the cathedral plays with protesters anger directed at the vast amounts of money donated for repairs police in paris have used tear gas and water cannon and two hundred twenty seven people have been detained. i i. i. well we're now five months in the protests and it feels like the tensions are just

not abating again fires in the streets of paris as the protesters not only burnt rubbish bins but also were setting fire to move cause to move motorcycles and also again building barriers to try and protect them from the police and the police have been trying to disperse the crowds throughout the day using tear gas initially but they did bring water cannons later on water cannons and not just spitting out water but also a blue liquid liquid being used as a dive which i will temporarily affect clothing and skin to allow the police to be able to ascertain who the violent protesters all who are in the way of the water cannon and then to make those arrests you talked about the arrests a significant number around two hundred so far but on top of that there are also been more than seventeen. and

a half thousand proactive checks preventative checks by the police this means they've been a key through people's bags deceive people potentially taking weapons into a protest to stop them from doing that now compare that to just a week ago when we only had fifteen arrests and less than six thousand preventative checks that shows you how much stronger force is being used today some sixty thousand gendelman police out across france of course major protests taking place here in paris but also in other cities we've been speaking to some of the all of us protesters asked them why they still out in the streets twenty three weeks later. we have seen them at the plaza de la busty we wanted to protest peacefully then we moved to a bottle. it is very important for me i followed the movement since the beginning since the seventeenth of november i am here because i care about france. we always have strong mobilization we're going to express our goals more and more unstable we

specially hope that the government will accept our demands. well the protests today will for britain in paris in many places including the show and particularly not to . mention that at the cathedral of course was in flames on monday evening on monday evening president michel was actually due to address the nation to give his way forward out of the yellow dress protest this is after months of a big debate here in forums where there were millions of people coming together giving their views on how they can improve france to try and tackle some of the issues that the yellow best protesters have been bringing up week after week and that's mainly the high cost of living here in france but he canceled that address because of that fine the draw and i can tell you witnessing that fire it seemed for a moment that there was solidarity across france all people just completely shocked

by what was happening but that moment of solidarity has turned into an even bigger division within twenty four hours of that fire when it emerged that hundreds of millions of viewers had been donated mainly from france's wealthy families many people started questioning if you can raise that amount of money for the reconstruction of the building why you can no amount of money raised in such a period of time to help the ordinary person in france who is struggling to live to struggling to keep their head above water now the think is reflect that as well the latest figures from two thousand and seventeen showing that eight point eight million people in france are living in poverty that means they're living on less than around a thousand euros a month not a huge amount of money especially in a country where the cost of living does seem to keep soaring now president macron is due to give a speech at some point in the next few weeks to trying to allay the concerns of the

l a vest that a draft copy of us beach which as i say was supposed to happen. monday actually suggested what he's looking at doing is tax cuts for the middle class is something that's not going to help perhaps the poorest households in france so will that speech will those ideas cut the mustard it seems from the l of us protesters really well not something else that appears to be on the protestors minds as the unrest in london and wiki leaks founder julian assange a facemask was seen added to the joan of arc monument in toulouse along with a yellow vest banners with a sign his name also displayed on the french m.p. jackie else says it's no surprise people at the huge donations to not shut down cathedral early how did the. role as just a moment. but the good problems go from to ask you remain he told

a reason no shock right exactly the. carry on are going on the most religion you go you know where you. drive the fall that go to millions of your rules even one billion year old and you cannot really broach the necessary resources to leave they're going to be a problem and it is the situation in which we are raised because of the. budget. coming from you know which has been lost for years and years now. the russian embassy in washington has fired back at the newly released one a report on trying russia collusion has published a hefty document called russia gate hysteria a case of severe phobia it's a de told from a battle of the allegations made against moscow and which is the following

completion. the investigation didn't show any real evidence to back up claims of moscow's cyber attacks and attempts to subvert democracy all this time russia pointed to the obvious made up nature of these insinuations we call on our merican partners to finally disavow these allegations and join efforts to repair the damage to bilateral relations for the sake of our peoples and global security. the report was finally released on thursday after almost two years of investigation much of it was heavily redacted it concluded that there was no collusion between russia and china's campaign team during the twenty sixteen presidential election but it was guarded when it came to trump's alleged obstruction of the probe. after the report's release some democrats renewed their calls for donald trump to be impeached while republicans insist the president was exonerated even though well appointed he said that's not so many media outlets now appear to be focusing on the

division it's brought to us society instead of acknowledging that there prevailing speculations were wrong as it should on off explains. frump is a traitor he's cronies are abetting him in his treachery and all of them are going to get what's coming for them this promise started to resonate across the airwaves of mainstream american channels even before the miller investigation became a thing and it started with this bombshell then senator jeff sessions met with the russian ambassador in the u.s. the controversial russian ambassador sergey q.c.'s a shameful picture of is an open question whether there was collusion cooperation between trump associates during the campaign and russian officials current and former u.s. officials say he's considered one of the kremlin's top spies by u.s. intelligence some u.s. intelligence officials believe he's more than that breathing the same with the

russian you were supposed to destroy not join them there was no redemption for sessions in the buna to i of the media and bassett a kiss like overnight got promoted to the rank of n.h. and now here comes the facts the meetings were brief public and non-substantive the military team found no evidence of coordination between the trump campaign and russia in these chats the ones. deflates back into a boring now former ambassador the next scandal reported to reveal a nother despicable truth about trump not only is he a lie himself but he lures others into his web of deceit president trump is facing new scrutiny today over a report that he told his personal attorney to lie to congress about his business dealings with russia we have breaking news tonight on the russia investigation

here's what buzz feed news is reporting that as bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president trump directed his attorney to lie to congress about the moscow tower project congressional democrats calling. the immediate investigation declaring the trans must be impeached at the story is true this one was rock solid the report claimed journalists corroborated the allegation with their own eyes and ears colleagues said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these document we've been. we've been documents we've been briefed and we're very confident in our reporting the revelation was unprecedented but not in terms of factual value but because the military made an effort to personally very polarized the claim description of specific statements in characterization of documents and testimony on not accurate what do you think happened next any ideas buzz feed cocktail apologetically deleted the article no instead it blurted out more letters and words and sentences

explaining that while the initial reporting was incorrect at the same time it wasn't and you make sense of that and the final jam the infamous meeting between trump's former can pain manager and the leaker in chief julian assange donald trump's former campaign manager paul man afford health secret talks with julian assange inside the ecuadorian embassy in london and visited around the time he joined transcom paying the guardian has been told the military paid so much attention to this possibility it didn't even bother to look into it no where on its five hundred plus pages does the report mention anything of the sort and this is just barely a handful of all the bombshells and sensations and eye-openers nuked by the

miller report it's still out there unfazed in arrogance as obtaining their false holds there's so much invested in it over three years they've been spinning these conspiracy skier. sorry they've been spinning these conspiracy theories in essence the scam. and their credibility that's the biggest consequence of all this and so they're just trying any way they can including the front page of the new york times reports shows depth of connection between trump campaign and russia and then they count up the number of contacts or alleged contacts with the russians which i think are one hundred forty or something but a lot of that of course is on trump tower or it's you know the you know we have had this exhaustive twenty two month investigation with all of the resources of the f.b.i. and the security agencies and and they didn't find it but i

argue this is probably the worst moment for the u.s. media since they sold us the iraq war on the folds narrative of weapons of mass destruction. the long awaited miller report might not have hit on the meeting between paul and june in a smallish but it did take a long hard look at the whistleblower and his alleged links to russia and the leak of more than twenty thousand democratic national committee e-mails and documents investigation though provided no solid evidence as to how exactly the data was obtained or whether a song even existed it comes hard on the heels of june in the song she was arrested last week by british police i was filmed by exclusively to you after i got all terminated. asylum in its london embassy the wiki leaks founder is now awaiting his fate with an extradition hearing expected. charges of government. and a glimpse of life inside those crime. has emerged. a rare video of

a snapshot of how a song his life was. maybe thoughts running through his head of what he's going to do when he gets out all simply trying to keep fit in this tiny embassy kitchen was his probably quite unique take. case you missed day ecuador needed it spare room back gets out of the embassy and into the drama for everyone's favorite we. could do was embassy is looking for a decent painted decorator in the london area after judas andras carried out like a. battering ram the whistleblower is the passions sometimes it's love sometimes it's hate you do you know him many people saying stuff like. he's a complex character a man only truly understood by just two creatures on god's green earth and discern this guy have you noticed there's always

a can't just say now anyone who's been trapped inside a foreign embassies bridegroom for the boss. new year is a scientist famous for publishing documents on america's wars diplomats. politicians the us authorities a cue to have a few stern words with him about it now this is where it gets a little bit complicated so try to keep up a staunch first of all asylum because the u.k. was considering extraditing him to sweden where he had been accused of sexual assault the way he can claim the education is actually part of a plot to extract him from sweden to the us and what have agreement fate awaits him that did you follow that just rewind. speed if you need to it boils down to this as some just supporters see him as a champion of free speech taking on the american monolith those who don't like him point to the allegations in sweden as a reason that evidence of war crimes is still evidence of war crimes even if the

process i'm telling you about them has a few shall we say easier secrecy is and even if the claim is in sweden a set up that doesn't mean washington house anyway here's a little secret the media is hiding from you though life is complicated tony thanks isn't always the hero so you just decide whether it's in the public's interest to see what the world's superpower is up to behind closed doors pommy deal with the rust. because band a number of british far right groups from the platform we look at the reasons and here reaction among stories after this break. just manufactured and sentenced to two for public will. when the ruling

closest to protect them so. when the final clear you're around to listen to the woman who says. we can all middle of the room see. the real news is. when i say assets on their books terry they're referring to the bonds of a price of one hundred cents on the dollar but don't have a sale value in the market greater than maybe one penny on the dollar so again it's the porch or dorian gray economy all these quote assets on the central bank balance sheets if you added up all of i think the central banks and have something like fifty to fifty five trillion dollars of what they call assets that might be worth mcdonald's hamburger when yes they have no collateral value what's the what they're

worthless that's a fact. welcome back to the program facebook has banned some of the u.k.'s biggest right wing groups and a new category to tackle hate speech online. individuals and organizations who spread hate or attack or call for the exclusion of others on the basis of who they are have no police and fee's book under our dangerous individuals and organizations policy we ban those who proclaim a violent or hateful mission or are in acts of hate or violence or the greenspan and are accused of having far right or extreme views have become notorious for promoting negative attitudes towards certain groups or being firmly opposed to increasing immigration the ban heads groups like the english defense league the british national party and britain first here's how one of the organizations

reacted nine hundred eighty four is here who next why the so afraid of the truth we survived before the fascist facebook purge and we will continue to survive political and social commentator milan's our own media analyst neil wallace broke down the issues surrounding facebook's latest decision. i'm very skeptical about a company like facebook group run by a bunch of. billionaires from silicon valley coming from the classic liberal elite. background then are they really people we would appoint guardians of this sort of thing do we really trust their judgment are we meant to sit around and wait for laws to be implemented we need to tackle these people the methods that we use for tackling the likes of our own hard to ruin street. preachers and their online. forums for doing all of their hate preaching we need to apply

that same principle to the likes of the e.t.l. of britain first and the national front what this is really is an enormous bout of virtue signalling by an appalling company facebook and instagram who are using it purely. a fig leaf for the fact that frankly over the last few years they have an appallingly laughable policy about keeping evil people off social media the real truth of the matter is this these are not small problems we knew already from twenty eleven and twenty twelve and as brave killed what was it seventy seven people wounded two hundred nine people in the norway terror attacks he had openly admitted and it was in the dossier that was came out in the court evidence and was held to be correct he met with the senior leadership team he met

with e.t.l. on rhetorical strategies the idea was to have the street gangs these radical people online to radicalize people online like terrorists why is it why is it that he has taken eight years since those socialist you would call them signal virtue signallers socialist labor movement youngsters kids that were slain in norway they're linked to either why did take an eight years. government's done nothing the tories have done nothing you know why the right did now is under tremendous more pressure than ever before. a lack of social responsibility though you've created this. former us vice president joe biden has now reportedly began a fund raising campaign for a twenty twenty presidential election campaign when putting him against veteran senator bernie sanders for the democratic ticket a poll out this week gives biden a slim one point at lead ahead of sanders raising fears that the party faces being torn down the middle by their very different campaign platforms looks at the

democrats' grass roots division. inside the offices of the democratic party elite alarm bells are going off why it seems that a progressive democratic socialist is now the front runner sanders is raising money fast and he's got a very big base of support but this isn't supposed to happen the way the game is normally played the far left is not supposed to take the nomination even on left leaning m s n b c we've got voices saying that donald trump is preferable to bernie sanders and that's quite a statement coming from a network that often portrays the donald like the anti christ i find reprehensible as a human being what a socialist can do. to this company country as far as the strength and well being of our country the donald trump but even beyond the burnie movement the democratic party seems to be pretty well shaken up take the case of congresswoman ellen omar now the democratic leadership which has been pro israel since one thousand nine

hundred forty eight sees her comments as anti-semitic congresswoman omar's use of and dismay to troops and produce the boat israel support this is deeply offensive we condemn these remarks and we call upon congresswoman omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments but a lot of markets raising money in fact she's more popular than ever for a first term congresswoman turns out that there's a lot more discontent with the israel lobby than many were aware of and then there's alexandria because you know cortez now known as a c she is a first term congressional rock star more popular and well known than people who've been in congress for years but at this point nancy pelosi is saying that her victory meant nothing to have these wings. and her group on one side it said five people she even dismissed her new york city win as something that anyone or anything could do if labeled as a democrat those are districts that are somewhat democratic this glass of water

would win with a deal. next to. this day here's what people in new york city told us about the ruckus inside of the democratic battleship democrats need to be worried period we need to like come together and figure out where the united nations is going to be in focus were to scatter to so many voices there's certainly a split you know for i mean popularity versus the established depravity in this divided in all of these you have to get out of band together to work to say that your socialist democrats who are just believe you know we should give everybody everything for free and the democrats are a little more reasonable donald trump swept the white house by bucking the republican establishment and putting out a message far different than what the g.o.p. has said in recent years and it seems that now the democratic party is facing a similar submarining and shake up the democratic presidential primary is lining up

to be anything but predictable mop and r.t. new york. news iran up for now i'll be back in the top of the hour with all the latest headlines but do stay with us now from going on the ground which is up next on international. a little. bit. of the company. russia learned a lot of upload a lot. of little things. you know world of big part of the movie 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. time after time to new what you're going underground and while we're away we'll be screening some of your favorite episodes this season coming up in this show is britain at risk of an imminent terror attack we speak to the president of syria's
