may day celebrations are drowned out across europe instead marred by mass rallies violence and arrests. the u.s. attorney general tacit price to the senate democrats accuse him of misleading the public on the media report. and we could expect julian assange just sentenced to fifty weeks in prison in the u.k. for skipping bail back in two thousand and twelve when he claimed asylum at the at the door and am but thing.

coming to life from the russian capital this is our international welcome to the program. may day celebrations and fronts have been overshadowed by street violence one group of riders called their protests are my god and charlotte two penske reports now from paris. thank. you. so may day started with violence in full the protests the official protests even began those protests is tried to move from

boulevard to more printers up towards plastic it's really one and a half hours before the official protest time as a result of that the police blocked them off about half a kilometer away stone to firing tear gas and pushing people back and used that opportunity to make arrests of the black blocs these the black blocs that the interior minister christopher cast in a woman's about coming in yesterday saying that they were going to be traveling to this protest to cause scenes of chaos to turn paris into a city of riots that's what we've seen for large parts of the protests all around class to italy which is the end of the official procession we have seen tear gas used water cannons use trying to put out vehicles that have been set on fire by some of the protesters and you can see a huge huge security force all around the perimeter all over this area just in the last few minutes before we came on i we saw some of the protesters looking like

they were trying to make a barricade here something that we've seen them do elsewhere in the route as a result of that some of the mobile police forces came in with their batons hitting them and taking them away and detaining people but they're also being injuries today including over a one russian journalist who screwed up in the fray at the very beginning over the protest that clearly labeled on her that she was a t.v. journalist yet despite that due to the fire. she was in the middle of that for a police officer apparently hit quite badly with a baton and she is now receiving treatment for her injuries so there's the filings we know about the injuries what i would like to tell you is about the security service seven thousand two hundred security personnel only today in paris to try and keep a lid on this violence and i can hear behind me it sounds like we're getting from

reuters come up as more of the protesters who are here full this may day protests are making their way to the end of this procession once again violence here in paris water cannons being used tear gas the police are out with their patterns trying to push protesters away making those arrests and again we've seen injuries but let's not forget the protesters are both been damaging property in fact we saw a medical faculty with the university of so bone that had its tools smashed in the last half an hour and we've also seen other evidence of destruction by some of the protesters today so once again another protest in paris that's descended into violence and chaos elsewhere may day rallies some people turning out over a local cautious italian police hand to intervene in turin when scuffles broke out between supporters and opponents of a planned high speed rail link with france and in the russian city of st petersburg around fifty people were arrested during

a street protest germany also saw widespread civil unrest on may day and dozens of people were detained it gives done was there for us. this is the ante for a rally yearly something of a yearly event where tens of thousands of left leaning activists come to central bilin and march through its streets now this was supposed to be the final destination of that march but obviously people all. they didn't want to go and so we've seen perhaps under the influence and perhaps since they've chanted so many anti police slogans here they're finally putting some actions beside their words we've seen lots of lots of glass bottles being thrown around here at the police and this is the final point of this march and there will be but they just don't want to go away and we see the police detaining the instigators in basically trying to clear out this square and this sri you can clearly see here is one of the

instigators if you just point the camera over there this is one of the instigators being taken away they had a helicopter flying overhead that helped the police pinpoint who the wrongdoers who are the instigators who are the people responsible for the violence now of course here we have committed crews and the demonstrators on happy with the actions of the police thousands of people tens of thousands of people have shown today and activists and they've been chanting lots of anti capitalist slogans burning flesh as of course the police is telling people here to disperse us basically what they're trying to do is they're trying to clear the square because the march is over officially but people they intend to stay so this is how it's been so far hopefully no more violence. as attorney

general william barr is defending his actions over the release of the movie a report findings in front of the senate that says this special counsel behind the russian investigation recently confronted bar over his assessment of the probe now democrats are calling for bars immediate resignation claiming him and slat the american public over the results of the russia probe. attorney general baum misled the public and owes the american people on says it's time for d.o.j. to release the fool report and on the line docs and find in the end no myrna to testify americans deserve the facts bar must stop standing in the way for anyone out there who still down today it is let's it shows that attorney general has always been the chief propagandist for president trump he's full page let's a totally misled congress and the public he should resign immediately many democrats were expecting that the special counsel report from robert muller would

contain some kind of bombshell revelation that would bring down the trumpet ministration however the report came out and that was not the case so it seems that the democrats are blaming william barr the attorney general for that now william barr has been basically defending himself against allegations that he misinterpreted the probes findings and that he undermined public confidence it's been alleged that in releasing miller's letter that basically that somehow he created confusion about critical aspects of the investigation that bar was pretty stanton saying he didn't do anything wrong and this is william barr before the u.s. senate i asked him if he was suggesting that the march twenty fourth letter was inaccurate and he said no but that the press reporting had been inaccurate and that the press was reading too much into it and i asked him you know specifically what his concern was and he said that his concern focused on his explanation of

why he did not reach a conclusion on obstruction. and he wanted more put out a mat is shoe now william barr has been adamant that donald trump did not obstruct justice he has stood by that that his assessment of the report from bob muller the special counsel report indicates that donald trump did not obstruct justice or violate the law and he's responded to quite a tough challenge when it comes to that point let's take a listen did you find that to be persuasive of obstructing justice. no. you think it's for you are very destructive former aide to tell the truth journal and recuse himself shut down the investigation and declare the president did nothing wrong. i don't think well obviously since i didn't find out what it was obstruction i should structure offer you well i don't know if that declares the

president did nothing wrong although the president in terms of collusion did nothing wrong isn't that correct so it seems like even after the report of special counsel robert mueller saying there was no collusion the trump russia story continues to persist now with democrats determined that they want further answers and that they are unsatisfied with the results of that investigation arvin brewer and presidential hopeful for the us libertarian party gave us his views on the latest allegations from the democrats because it's mostly backfiring on democrats right now because it's making them look absurd i mean again when you go from russia's interfering in american elections all the way down to well the tourney general didn't accurately summarise the finding the special counsel in a way that the special counsel liked and of i mean it's just becoming stupid now it's i don't think this is really damaging trump's credibility it's just turning

this whole thing into even more of a joke than it already was they're actually going to continue this nonsense i think they've just backed this losing strategy and are going to keep on backing it just as just about as long as they possibly can and you know they've already lost this debate and they're still fighting it it to me it's just kind of a joke. we're getting sounder julian assange has been sentenced in britain to fifty weeks in prison for escaping bail back in two thousand and twelve kate partridge's reports now from london. julian assange was sentenced to fifty weeks in prison for breaching his bell conditions set in twenty twelve the judge there deborah taylor she said that the case was particularly serious and merited almost the full sentence which would have been a year she rejected the claims by his defense that she should also give him leave me and say due to the fact he'd already spent seven years in the ecuadorian embassy

or while he was given the sentence julian assange or she was impassive standing there in the dark but his supporters up in the public gallery chanted show you when you as a sentence was passed julian assange and his sentence for seeking and receiving asylum is twice as much as the sentencing guidelines the so-called speed boat killer convicted of manslaughter was only sentenced to six months for failing to appear in court during the song should be in the ecuadorian embassy here in central london for almost seventy years not sought asylum there to avoid being extradited to sweden where he was wanted for questioning in relation to sexual offenses well his defense attorney today mark some as he presented a letter that julian assange had written trying to explain the extraordinary circumstances in which he faced and also mitigating circumstances he said that he apologised unreservedly for not handing himself into the all forty's but that he had feared being extradited to the us way he lived in fear of potentially being on death row or even ending up in guantanamo bay it was my impression that the judge

had written the. decision and written it out before you heard the medical device that there was absolutely no consideration given to the very very convincing mitigating factors in this case so it's an outrage and we are shocked. but there are other legal issues to see so this was just the first of two the next one on thursday that's in westminster magistrates court and that's an extradition hearing as part of his arrest on april the eleventh was also on behalf of the united states who once have charged in what they see as conspiracy with chelsea manning to download and distribute what they see as classified material this case even has always been about the risk of extradition to the united states and we now have a provisional extradition request from the united states the focus of our energies will now be on fighting medics tradition. and that fight starts tomorrow while the cool case on thursday expects expected to be extremely short very brief judy

massage expected to attend the viral video link but then the u.s. prosecutors are expected to provide more evidence more details about more charges later on in june we heard from two rights activists and they gave us their take on why dora decided to expel us from the country's embassy. leaks from within door and government official leaks have indicated that there was a deal that the trump administration offered a favorable trade deal of economic benefits including debt relief to ecuador if your son was handed over and that is what appears to have happened but we haven't actually got that absolutely confirmed and obviously we're unlikely to because neither the top administration nor the ecuadorian government will want to admit it unless we have a whistleblower who will you know the memo we won't know for certain but i suspect

that it's all about a deal with the u.s. that lead to being evicted from their could or an embassy in london in the end the u.s. will get what they wore they're the biggest bully and they're going to be the ones that will fight to bring him to the states there are so many powerful entities they're trying to take him down. to silence him because they're afraid of the great journalism hundred percent accurate journalism that he has done for the past decade and that is a real threat to the powers that be given as well and president has invited the opposition to start talks to and the ongoing crisis well that story and much more coming up right after the break.

with this manufactured sentenced to public will. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose. we have no political agenda here we just if it if it costs more to get out then what you get when you get it out that's called all loss it's a minus sign that's it you can't figure that out you think there's a political agenda. you're blinded by your by.

and as well as president has invited the opposition to engage in talks after the latest wave of unrest nicolas maduro called for a day of dialogue after announcing that and the legal quid town had been put down eighty people were injured in clashes on wednesday after opposition leader urged his supports to stage the largest protest in the country's history. but i want to think. we are in ultimately a square where a second day of protests is developing these protests were called yesterday by one wedo in a group of military officials the rise cell and call on civilians and military to

join the operation freedom yesterday also opposition leader leopoldo lopez was freed after five years in prison at the moment he is in the quality of guest at this banish embassy in caracas today also sixteen states are joining these protests called by one white oh you know they're sons of the city because i was mature also call and he supporters to celebrate their labors day in caracas and also the rest of the country yesterday we saw some fierce clashes between opposition protesters and some forces a seal loyalty class material. was right. at home through. the protests yesterday left not only blocked roads also burned

cars and a big number of injured the opposition leader has the full support of the u.s. once again with secretary of state mike bump aoe saying that washington isn't ruling out sending in troops. military action is possible if that's what's required that's what the united states will do earlier pompeo suggested that they've been as well and president had been ready to flee the country but nicolas maduro was told to stay put by russia. literally. getting prepared to get on this airplane and out of the country before you stop stop really at the direction of the rush he was ready to leave this morning as we understand it the russians indicated he should stay he said during his the plane ready to go to cuba to flee and the russians took him off the plane and food bade him to leave the country. least be

serious. responded as well accusing washington of launching at this information come pain to deem ol arisan as well and has spoken to his russian counterpart about the crisis in caracas so gay lavrov said that the united states' interference goes against international law and could have serious consequences. meantime the united states has banned american airlines from flying over again as well as saying as due to political instability but was a washington having slapped a serious of saying chanson the country what are the guys if had been looking at wot the us means when it's as it stands where they've been as well and people what are they why do those brazen attempted coup the violence on both sides the people even go i do hanging in the specially strange was what the united states

had to say about it we need venezuela ruled by the people of venezuela not by extra little forces do you think he may have missed the irony this the bolton who's done his damnedest to ensure regime change in venezuela whose country has championed regime change sanctioned then frozen billions in state funds threatened with invasion now he's saying no one should meddle that it's up to the day's women's to decide. of course not what he meant is no one but america all options remain on the table we said it would be a big mistake for me doro and those supporting him to use force against innocent civilians mr bolton's definition of innocent i think defer from the classic meaning look at these demonstrators with guns shooting at troops and police i suppose the

bullets of full of love to a few bad hold these innocents accountable says mr bolton we might invade between the lines as thomas call a status where with you america will stand with you until freedom and democracy are restored by and can do yes today the interim president who would do a nonstarter of a person. the government foolish supports the venezuelan people who in the quest for freedom and democracy democracy cannot be defeated what do you know they stand with the people never mind the sanctions and the misery for millions that they've caused i question is which people exactly did you say you stand with a few hundred machete gun wielding fellows that tried to stage a violent coup or the thousands upon thousands who concurrently marched in

support of the venezuelan president. against this coup this is clearly not a coup we recognize one go i don't know as the legitimate interim president of venezuela and just as it's not a coup when the president of the united states gives an order to the department of defense it's not a coup for one go why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military you're in five mr bolton one by do who was never elected doesn't control the military or ministries or anything he is the president. nicholas the actual president supported by millions the military the ministries he's not the president see what i mean by scrooge almost like the bitter and banal things didn't go according to plan. the u.s. military has stopped publishing a threat killer reports on the amount of territory controlled by different forces

in afghanistan the us has been gradually reducing the amount of information it makes public on afghanistan over the last two years back in two thousand and seventeen it stopped publishing data on casualties and last july and it assessment on the role of afghan government forces this comes as washington steps up talks with the taliban. you have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table this is no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish and i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement the taliban trimble's there's a fear of the you get rid of the taliban side you the poison or the call for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile to live in

a relevance for. this war in afghanistan has cost more than one trillion dollars since the invasion back in two thousand and one and it has claimed thousands of american and afghan lives and afghan presidential candidate is now calling for the u.s. forces to be held accountable for the devastating toll of the conflict. any criminal act by any civilian all military personnel of the united states on a toll would have to be brought to justice through their competent legal off part it is we strong that this justice process should not be politicized afghans have to be victims of human rights violations over the past almost four decades peace activists calley believes the u.s.

government does not want people to know what is happening in afghanistan. united states pentagon certainly doesn't want the advice of the united states popular is it doesn't really care about consent or assent to the war what they want is the money and if you are just people who truly understand what a disastrous failure and catastrophe is going on eighteen year. for an october to be the eighteenth year what this has represented in terms of failure and destruction i think people wouldn't choose to pay these extraordinary sums of money that people need the information and here in the united states and fans but not that people especially to have exactly this kind of information. you're watching our an international news out date coming up thirty minutes.

jobs some people are all but in different but regardless of how one feels about their job i think everyone can agree that not getting sick hurt or killed by your job is a good thing for example when twenty seventeen the latest year for available data in the united states alone over five thousand workers were killed on the job tens of thousands were injured in fact according to the national safety council every seven seconds a worker is injured at his or her workplace that adds up to four point six million injuries in the workplace per year. my friends these are staggering and truly tragic numbers and while some workplace injuries deaths and illnesses can be attributed to being a careless employee many are also directly caused by careless employers and through the national council on occupational safety and health or the national caution who every year around the even workers memorial day on april twenty eighth releases

a list of their top twelve and lawyers who put communities and employees at risk called the dirty dozen this year's list features a variety show of companies and conglomerates from amazon and its six worker deaths and seven months to john hopkins hospital where four out of five nurses report they have been victims of workplace violence facebook also makes the list following a year of headlines documenting the terrible working conditions they've farmed out the third party employers nor to moderate and remove objectionable content from their site the list goes on mcdonald's produced pharma bathes the brothers harvesting the list covers all corners of the corporate working world here in the united states national costco executive director marcy goldstein geld tells the media quote there is no reason to tolerate ill responsible behavior by employers who fail to provide a safe workplace and force workers and families to pay the price so today my
