question. his interior minister is accused of being a liar after claiming made a protesters attacking paris hospital. so this hour it's a no show for the u.s. attorney general who's refused to subject himself to further questions about his production for to solving trump collusion with russia democrats. brandishing props to make their point. chicken bar should have shown up today and answered questions i think yesterday proving not here but is it before anybody still in the circus continues over here. all right sad. swimming pigs become a tourist sensation. thanks

for joining us on the program france's interior minister is being branded a liar after claiming anti-capitalists attacked paris hospital during a may day rally that. videos and eyewitness accounts of that incident suggest they were actually taking cover from police firing tear gas. reports from the french capital. violence or may the first has been well documented in one of the most shocking stories that emerged from that violence was these allegations particularly by frances interior minister that actually some of the writers in those protesters were trying to attack a hospital trying to attack the stalls and trying to enter into that hospital this

particular hospital was actually the surgical intensive care unit and there was descriptions of the patients inside saying that they were inclined to carry situation many of them were into baited some of ventilated and that the staff had heroically try to fight off that attack all of those protesters entering into the site this is what france's interior minister had to say about that event the petrea hospital was attacked it's medical staff were attacked and the police officer sent to protect them was hurt unshakable faith in our security services there the pride of the republic well that's his version of events but in a twist going on here social media has been flooded with videos showing exactly what happened on the ground in that hospital and actually what we've seen from those videos and social media is some of which were actually taken by members of staff inside the hospital don't show what the interior minister said happened in

fact what they show is that the c.r.s. the security forces with charging at protesters those protesters were fleeing from those security services and as such they were seeking refuge inside the hospital not just for that charge but also because of the tear gas that had been deployed in the area so a very different version of events and as such opposition politicians here in france have described christopher kasten a as being a liar and some of them have even called for his resignation. if it was a deliberate lie in turn it soley to deliver in turn issues social movement then the interior minister should be fired without delay. kristoff. shamelessly and manipulated the press to spread these lies enough was enough given the facts he has no choice but to resign well in other developments coming out of that may day protests in france it's also this video showing the police

officers actually picking up paving stones from the road and throwing that towards protesters now we know that this is a weapon of arsenal that the protesters have used for many months during the yellow vest protests and indeed on the may day but this is the first time in paris we've seen evidence of the police using what essentially is an sanctioned weapon against the protesters it begs the question whether the police are the ones inciting the violence and it's dead or trying to control the situation they're actually poor ring oil on the fire. farcical scenes in the u.s. congress after the man who controversially redacted the report into alleged collusion between russia trumped fail to show up for a grilling attorney general william barr snubbed the hearing saying he'd already told senators all he has to say about his version of the report democrat lawmakers

who want to see the documents unfold theatrically placed was name caught in front of an empty chair or a swim steve cohen then put a ceramic chicken on the desk as a symbol of the attorney general's alleged cowardice and then tucked into some k.f.c. not only do democrats want to see bars rolling and all morning charges of contempt of congress artie's taylor more pain has more. well a very short hearing on capitol hill as william barr the u.s. attorney general did not attend he did not show up for the hearing before the house judiciary committee that he was subpoenaed to testify before now representative gnabry who is the chair of the committee is now at this point considering bringing charges of contempt of congress against him for failing to testify when subpoenaed however republican legislators had a different opinion and argued that his testimony yesterday in the grilling he received from democrats was basically a circus and a charade and that he should not be obligated to continue going through that he has

failed the men and women of the department of justice by placing the needs of the president over the ferry administration of justice and yes we will have no choice but to move quickly to hold you through the general in contempt if you store to negotiate in good faith mr barnes moment of accountability will come soon enough and i think that probably you can make one of the democrats scared of they don't know bill barr here today they've had the report they read it they don't like what's in it for the still in the circus continues over here the department of justice has made a less redacted version of bob miller's report available to top democrats but these top congressional democrats navl or palosi and others have refused to read it and said that instead they want the entire report revealed to a wider audience the chairman lee to go look it what the attorney general offered him it's pretty amazing to me he wants to go in executive session ask questions about it but he won't go read it now things escalated from there members of congress basically tried to be somewhat the actor cole

a bucket of fried chicken was displayed in order to illustrate the argument that that he was that william barr was chicken or cowardly for not attending furthermore they made a point of looking under the desk to make sure that william barr was not hiding under the desk in fear chicken bar should have shown up today and answered questions to blow. socks look clean compared to distil it's a sad day in a bear democrats are considering contempt of congress charges against barr but republicans are saying he did the right thing and that this is simply a politically motivated investigation intended to undermine the u.s. president the trump russia story persists with more hearings more testimony and possible contempt charges for the u.s. attorney general a congress in its capacity here is not really investigating malfeasance by the attorney general which is their job is oversight they're actually having some perry mason like. miller to investigation which will gain them nothing and

the bar i think just basically said look six hours of this is enough and done they didn't want him to show up they made it impossible for him to come so that they could have the theater they had today it's about politics it's not about finding any wrongdoing that part is over now we have the political discussion the tiny tiny tiny portion that's not grand jury testimony that was actually redacted that's been made available to the committee and they don't want to look at it because as i said they want the theater that they don't want cooperation they're not looking for something bad they've decided there's something bad they make the bald assertion and that's good enough for them. you can drive a c. over the money reporter see in hillary clinton the defeated twenty sixteen democratic presidential candidate speak of interview with us and b c the former secretary of state of b. is unimpressed why it's finding the plane didn't committed with russia and hawking much of that company in clinton jokingly called little foreign power to hack the president. since russia is clearly backing republicans why don't we asked

china to back us i hereby tonight ask china that's right and not only that china if you're listening why don't you get trump's tax returns i'm sure our media would richly rewards you now according to the mother report that is not conspiracy because it's done right out in the open this woman just kid except that she lost her cape a and all by yourself and just she's grasping and she just she's trying to be humorous she just doesn't understand humor but what she did wittingly or unwittingly is acknowledge that trump was joking she used to joke that to mimic the joke that he made nobody believe trump was serious and that somehow calling for russia to do it i mean what what next we're going to we're going to call out from the from the podium hey russia why don't you go up this country that's annoying to us and like that's going to actually happen i mean this is they contrived these

boogeyman and and that rush inclusion just hasn't worn out they won't let it go. and weapon of misinformation on a broader cost. has been betrayed by the u.k.'s foreign secretary during an event to celebrate freedom of the press. gave his views on where people should be getting the news from. reports. the u.k.'s foreign secretary jeremy hunt has recently been championing press freedoms and to mock you ness carries world press freedom day he's delivered a speech in which he talks about the future event independent media and he mentioned r.t. spoiler alert he wasn't exactly complimentary about the channel's walk. truth is relative products with the kremlin official narrative jeremy hunt went on

to cite the poisoning of the script pals that took place in souls last year saying that the kremlin came up with forty different versions of what happened and then it's weapons of dissent from asia and presumably that's russian media then went on to broadcast those narratives to the world their weapons or this information from the best defense against those. independent. uses he also announced that in july london will host the world bust summit on media freedom something tells me that r t isn't on the guest list. responding to this remarks this channel pointed out the owner of championing press freedom while talking to the media we spoke to journalist martin summers who told us that freedom of speech is an oft abused. level they claim to be in favor of

freedom of speech and another level they complain when people say things they don't want to hear it's the usual hypocrisy really isn't it i mean lots of people believe in freedom of speech as long as they hear the things they want to hear a freedom of speech just to mean that everybody's allowed to say what they want to say and people can watch what they want and make up their own minds about what they think is happening the idea that you can control what other people say in this day and age is simply wrong and you know ultimately they're not going to get very far with this in the british government will probably conclude that there's not a lot they can do about this if you if the material you produce is hard quality then people are going to want to watch it. the bahamas is a favorite offshore banking location among fact cats apparently though pigs also love the archipelago not for the tax breaks but for the clear blue waters wild hogs with a penchant for swimming have become its latest tourist attraction did their skates

on the ship wreck where they brought here hundreds of years ago. explore they are truly one of nature's most amusing accidents. all but cute is that all looks animal rights activists have been raising the alarm they claim local business is a mistreating the pigs and exploiting them for profit by for example by throwing them into the water for the amusement of tourists came from the bahamas humane society says it all comes down to ignorance. i think the stupidity with the animals is your only ignorance that we see the same form stupidity take place all over the world we have seen in many many video clips of tourists trying to feed them the. what we've seen pictures of people trying to ride on their backs throwing sand teasing them a tour operators offering the sharks to swim with pigs have defended their prisoner saying the animals are mistreated the popularity of the original feral colony has

seen a host of other pig related attractions that spring up authorities are now promising to regulate this side of the tourism industry came around again once greater oversight people need to know how to behave around them and they need to be careful and then needs to be someone who is watching who can stop people from behaving inappropriately and unless there is adequate surveillance no i don't think it can store there are no regulations here in the bahamas to protect the pigs from the stupidity of humans. and with the semifinals of the u.a.e. for champions league at the hof way state shar star pundit football coach shows a marine and gives his thoughts on the first and second legs he also told us how children nowadays dream of being a football manager not just a player you can watch the full episode of on the touchline here on r.t. throughout the day and anytime at r.t. dot com.

front of a screen and allies in the again live and saying now i will pick this one and that will put that one can you on the touchline have the same state of mind to be calm to be analysed to to read the game everybody in the world knows more about football than nuts is the only job where. the people knows more than just the specialists and thank god is like that because that's the reason my food will get these award these i'll can i see it to my son or to any keyed in the world don't do it if you love needs and if you feel you can you can do it so. if you have. a dream like i had. let's go.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not or else you can think i was going to do.

by the way ways of the. alleged longtime collaborator of wiki leaks founder julian assange will remain in pretrial detention in ecuador of course in the countries this missed an appeal by the cyber security expert who was arrested in quito last month on the very same day songs was taken into custody in the u.k. all albany is a well known free software developer privacy activists he's reportedly worked with wiki leaks in the past when he was arrested by a kodori an authority on charges of trying to hide computer systems in the country however his lawyers have dismissed the claims as politically motivated. now and not

ever an investigation for they have been demonstrated what system it is supposed to have when he did it. or where i mean what information that they have we're going to show to the world that the decision made here was a political one knowing there were aspects of the hearings that i did not like for example the difference in time allocated we were granted just fifteen minutes to talk with the prosecutors spoke for almost one hour and fifteen minutes more critically some of our arguments were dismissed by the judges. and soon the songs himself is in a british prison after being sentenced to fifty weeks for his bail terms he's also awaiting trial over a request for his extradition to the u.s. where he's wanted for allegedly conspiring to hack into classified government files sans told the court on thursday that he won't surrender voluntarily to the americans activists the lower love who was also accused of hacking the u.s. government computers told was

a song couldn't be guaranteed if he's extradited. i think he's going to have an uphill struggle everyone has an uphill struggle under us actually they should request because it's a very unbalanced treaty so the u.s. doesn't have to provide any evidence they just have to have their paperwork in order and the presumption is a view on lead towards extradition if we manage to win there's a lot of campaigning and a lot of support political support from the m.p.'s and support from journalist she is going to have a harder time because he's already out how can i put this politically he's upset the establishment in the u.k. the establishment i would say is complicit in his persecution and we need to do everything we can as members of the public and supporters of this list of people involved in journalism to ensure that we do you know i allow the injustice and isolation to happen in. the us is set to continue its support for the saudi intervention in yemen after the senate failed to overturn president trump's veto of

a house resolution on ending u.s. engagement in the conflict. saudi arabia is a despotic dictatorship that works over time to prevent any movement in their country toward democracy and this is also about squaring u.s. policy with national security interests and getting the blood off of our hands we are not give unflinching unwavering unquestioning devotion to a regime that treats its own people that way. like house passed the resolution back in april with sixteen republicans among those voting in favor however it was vetoed by donald trump who dubbed it a dangerous attempt to weaken his constitutional authority saudi arabia lost its bombing campaign again back in twenty fifteen against two three rebels who riyadh views as terrorists incursions resulted in what the u.n. describes as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis on earth.

he says it is a business decision and if he has to do with a murderous regime he will continue to do so. he has no compunction. morally or with any regard to human rights to in their relationship he sees it strictly as a transactional relationship to keep us cannibalism going to fuel us industry and the u.s.

military and bar he has no human rights concerns and that's it for now from the team and myself back here in our team thirty minutes with the latest lebanese update see that. international memorial awards twenty nineteen are now open for entries. media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media or part of a global news conference participants published works and video. go toward. an end to now. most

people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand the news business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. my son doing drugs my nephew was still in drugs my sister just been doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse he started going after the users in the prison population so more we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill i increasingly became convinced that the war on drugs was a mistake there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for.

a long sentence in this for the minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say bye daddy as you're walking out of the business it's just it doesn't get easier. that got the football level full because there was much more and this thing is possible in football to do the to work the movement these phenomenal and they still care. more months where people can say all. better away than the home they don't sleep very well instead of being a coach you want to pacific eight or. you

predicted barcelona would win the first leg and then i aks the heights game would be tight which i think is pretty much what happened but all the headlines today about lionel messi and those two goals he scored against liverpool who in the end just couldn't cope with it i told you a couple of weeks ago messi would never be my special one here because what. it was all the fun so we feel becomes a special one once then the becomes a special one almost every and almost every week but i have to say. absolutely incredible. i think you made that result. liverpool who was positive. liverpool was inspired of start the game without meenal i think for sure was not the you were going decision to leave feed me no out feed me the was in the top of his. game but in spite of

that we've got playing. striker. we were pools brave in the approach they made something that. i would like to know but. i don't think in the past twenty years many teams in the champions league they beat barcelona are involved position in the come no normally barcelona style is very impose their game. they dominate the game in every expect us to didn't happen liverpool was very very positive to have three big chances at the cup now even in the seventy final is also a lot and normally of three score one and then the story can be a different one but that. the got the football made it may be completely different and. of course they have a good team of course to her phenomenal players but that is absolutely incredible

to be fertile pool you said previously that in order to contain messi you have to create a cage of plays around him to try and stop him playing and that seemed to be what they were doing quite effectively but those last of the seven minutes with a seven minute period where he scored twice i mean there's very little they could do about that because equally that family did once in. which i seem to be really well which was to push once alone for many times a long build up from the keeper which is something that. they don't know how to do . they know if they do they're going to be dominated by the opponent so they always try to go short they take lots of risks playing from the back because they have players of super quality really able skates they are so comfortable taking these risks from the back but liverpool's pressing so high every will keep that so many

times that's they're going to have to go along and of course van dyck. deep they always win the first of all they recover the second ball and again liverpool was having the ball that's the reason why they had i think a little bit more than fifty percent of the ball of the ball possession so they did many things they did many things well they didn't score and and that you base specially when you have that kind of approach and they didn't score and then they allow the game to be broken specially after the two zero the game was broken and. we can all of these they say that liverpool deserves much more than the three in the old defeat much more but you can also say in the last two corners of the game could be four to zero or five zero because the game was broken and then they couldn't cope with that kind of transition according to

the two you're going to game plan they did their best they had a positive game and then they'd be they before the fact they didn't score and they pay for the fact that it's not just them is the majority of the teams that plays against the against barcelona that's why that. that the club we that boy has ten. victories in the in the league the question is. which was on are you going to have wind messi the sides to say goodbye do you think he still improving as a player he's almost thirty three but is he getting better and better in that i believe so i believe so. and the free keep youth something that. comes with. the practice come with experience we have. lots of examples of players in football that they are not phenomenal players.
