very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our tates q in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. france's interior minister is being branded a liar after claiming anti-capitalist attacked staff at a purse hospital during a may day rally that turned ugly but videos and eye witness accounts of the incident suggest they were actually taking cover from right police firing tear gas r.t. charlotte devinsky reports from the french capital. violence all may the first has been well documented in one of the most shocking stories that emerged from the violence with these allegations of that sickly by forces interior minister that actually some of the reuters and those protesters were trying to attack a hospital trying to attack the staff and trying to enter into that hospital this particular hospital was actually called intensive care unit and there was

descriptions of the patients inside saying that they were in quite carries two asian many of them were intimidated some ventilated and that the staff at whom rickly tried to fight off that attack of those protesters entering into the site this is war in syria minister had to say about that event. the petrea hospital was attacked its medical staff were attacked and the police officers sent to protect them was hurt unshakable faith in our security services they are 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 in social media 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 were charging at protesters those protesters were living from the 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 asked such opposition to the decisions here in france have described christopher cast in it as being a liar and some of them have even called to his resignation if it was a deliberate lie intended soley to deliver and turn issue social movement then the interior minister should be fired without delay. kristoff. shamelessly and manipulated the press to spread these lies enough is 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 that there's video showing the police

offices actually picking up paving stones from the road and throwing that towards protest is that we know that this is a weapon of mass not that the protesters have used so 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 who inciting the violence and it's stead of trying to control the situation they're actually poor ring oil on the fire meanwhile hospital staff have spoken to the media describing their version of the moment when mayday protesters rushed into that thirty. fuel and almost number of them startled us at first but very quickly they started to listen some try to calm them down it's a hospital calmed down they understood that we couldn't lead the man and now when it comes to finding someone to blame we don't know there's nothing to say i think

when you take part in a protest things always get a little bit out of hand and that's the weight is new person on the there were so room for us we didn't see any blood blocks we saw some yellow vests who were in a panic going in all directions there were about ten of them they went up the stairs and at the door they asked for something for their eyes which they said were stinging we saw no signs of forced entry doors or anything some colleagues did go to treat their ice. farcical themes and the u.s. congress after the man who controversal reductive the mole report into alleged collusion between trump. and russia failed to show up for a grilling attorney general william bars of the hearing saying he'd already told senators all he has to say about his version of the report democratic lawmakers who want to see the full document they have to place bars name card in front of an empty chair congressman steve cohen then put a ceramic chicken on the desk as

a symbol of the attorney general's alleged cowardice and tucked into some k.f.c. not only do democrats one parse have to roll there not knowing charges of contempt of congress are up and 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 general in contempt if you store to negotiate in good faith mr barnes the moment of accountability will come soon enough and i think that probably it 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 of vailable to top democrats but these top congressional democrats navl are 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 at 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 at trickle 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 of why. socks look clean compared to this teen 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. the controversy over the report has seen hillary clinton defeated two thousand and sixteen democratic presidential candidate speak her mind and interview with imus n.b.c. the former secretary of state appears unimpressed by its findings of the trump campaign team didn't cope with russia and harking back to that campaign clinton jokingly called on a 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 moment 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 that rush inclusion just hasn't worn out they won't

let it go. a weapon of misinformation and a broadcaster of lies that's how artie's been portrayed by the u.k.'s foreign secretary during an event meant to celebrate no less freedom of the press jeremy hunt also gave his views on where people should be getting their news from political reports. the u.k.'s foreign secretary jeremy hunt has recently been championing press freedoms and to mock unesco's world press freedom day he's delivered a speech in which he talks about the future event independent media and he mentioned spoiler alert he wasn't exactly complimentary about the channel's walk. truth is relative. to jeremy hunt went on to cite the poisoning of the script 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 summation presumably that's russian media then went on to broadcast those narratives to the world their weapons or this information from the difference. independent. he also announced that in july london will host the world's bust summit on media freedom something tells me that r t isn't on the guest list are two stands by its reporting standards and responding to hans remarks this channel pointed out the irony of championing press freedom all talk in the media we spoke to journalist martin summers who told us that freedom of speech is an often abused notion. level they claim to be in favor of freedom of speech or nother 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 speech as long

as they hear the things they want to hear is 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 the material you produce is hard quality then people are going to want to watch it. and allege long time collaborator of wiki leaks founder julian assange or remain in pretrial detention in ecuador a court in the country has dismissed an appeal by the cyber security expert who was arrested in cuba last month on the very same day i was taken into custody in the u.k. all of beenie is a well known free software developer and privacy activist he's reportedly worked with wiki leaks in the past he was arrested by ordering authorities on charges of trying to hack computer systems in the country however his lawyers have dismissed

the claims as politically motivated now and not ever investigations of you have been demonstrated what seems to be. when he did it. where i mean what's the information that we're going to show to the world that the decision made here was a political one though you said there were aspects of the hearings that i did not like for example the difference in time allocated we were granted just fifty 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. julian assange himself is in a british prison after being sentenced to fifty weeks for violating his bail terms he's also awaiting trial of a request for his extradition to the united states where he's wanted for allegedly conspiring to hack into classified government files astonished told a london court on thursday that he wouldn't surrender voluntarily to the americans activist for love who was also accused of hacking into u.s.

government computers songes well being would not be guaranteed if he was extradited . i think he's going to have an uphill struggle everyone has an uphill struggle under us that should issue a request because it's a very balanced treaty so the u.s. doesn't have to provide any evidence they just have to have the paperwork in order the presumption is only towards extradition if we manage to win there's a lot of campaigning and a lot of support political support for him and he. is going to have a harder time because he's already out of 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 sequel to this list of people involved in journalism to ensure that we do you know i allow the injustice of an exhibition to happen in. the bahamas as a favorite offshore banking location among fat cats but apparently pigs also love

the ark 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 they excrete on the ship wreck where they brought here hundreds of years ago sites hires explorers they are truly one of nature's most amusing accidents. but cute as it all looks animal rights activists have raised the alarm they claim local businesses are mistreating the pigs and exploiting them for profit for example by throwing them into the water for the amusement of tourists came up from the bahamas humane society says it all comes down to ignorance. i think the stupidity with the animals is your only ignorance and we see the same for. lace all over the world we have seen many many video clips of tourists trying to feed them. but we've seen pictures of people trying to ride on their backs throwing

sand teasing the tour operators offering the chance to swim with pigs have defended their business same animals aren't harmed the popularity of the original feral colony has seen a host of other pick related attractions spring up with the authorities 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 what should and who can stop people from behaving inappropriately and unless there is adequate surveillance now. there are no regulations here in the bahamas to protect the pigs from the stupidity of humans still to come the u.s. senate has failed to end u.s. support for the saudi incursion into yemen or bring you up to speed on that development after this short break.

you know world's big partners through things. and conspiracies 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 back 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. make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go

round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. the real news is. you're watching our to international welcome back to the program the us is set to continue its support for the saudi intervention in yemen that's after the senate failed to overturn president trump the veto of a house resolution on ending u.s. and agent in the conflict saudi arabia is a despotic dictatorship that works over time to prevent any movement in that country toward democracy this is also about squaring us policy with national security interests and getting the blood off of our hands

and we ought not give unflinching unwavering unquestioning. devotion to a regime that treats its own people that way. the house passed a resolution back in april where sixteen republicans among those voting in favor of it however it was vetoed by donald trump who dubbed it as a dangerous attempt to weaken his constitutional authority saudi arabia launched its bombing campaign in yemen back in two thousand and fifteen against who think rebels which riyadh years as terrorists incursions resulted in what the u.n. describes at the as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis on earth.

this is it is a business decision and if the has to do with the 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 little tree and the u.s. military bar here has no human rights concerns yemen of course is not the only country where civilian lives have been ravaged by war in syria many orphans have been forced to adapt to life on the streets are to visit damascus and that a group of homeless children now being exploited by criminal case. it's a much more homelike. to have.

a loony left yeah and it was fun this was but there still isn't a. bust in that that even i just. talked about let me or did you hear it if you do it sends out the tunnel and so much as you prepare for the no more ave to. make up last. word of it with. a come on. the and.

get it. i want to show the bill but it's back to hell. i simply don't show on it. with the semifinals of the us chime kinsley at the halfway stage are star football coach just a marine you insist thoughts on the first and second legs he also tells us how children nowadays dream of being a football manager and not just a player you can watch the full episode of on it on the touchline here on our team throughout the day and any time at r.t. dot com. before it was very rare for a key to dream of being

a football manager. every key that was in love with football wanted to be a full point. in the process was changing it was changing. i think i have a little bit of responsibility on that you can study to be the c.e.o. . of a company that people can be you who have person can be and you think a person can also be to become a football manager one scene ease. in front of a screen and allies in the again live and saying. i will pick this one and that will put that one can you on the line have the same state of mind to be calm to be on the used to read the game everybody in the world knows more about football than

us is the only job where. the people knows more then the specialists and thank god he's like that because that's the reason my food will get these award these i'll can i see to my son. and he keyed in the world don't do it if you love it and if you feel you can you can do it so. if you have. a dream like i have. that's go. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook the many reports. well you know more of the. underwater.

total room going to. not. all your to go to. move for your. feet has nothing to do with the propaganda that the daily mail is pushing but when you have a population that might be susceptible to propaganda they can easily be manipulated into thinking that fracking is something other than what it is it's not economically viable it costs more to frack then then then you make a profit it's cash flow negative it's also environmentally negative you destroy the environment incredibly. my

son doing drugs my nephew was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse we started going after the users in the prison population who are we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. the war on drugs in the state there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. certain sins for boring or minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say by daddy as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. reading

them salutations. on any given night here in the shining city on the hill more than five hundred thousand souls go to sleep without a place to call home that is the equivalent friends of the entire city of albon the new york fresno california and for our international viewers even bug scotland homelessness in the united states of america is indeed a real problem market watchers despite what most of those well dressed eight hundred thread count fortune five hundred talking ted economist types will try to sell you and the great philanthropist of two thousand and nineteen who for tax sorry humanitarian purposes are looking to combat the problem the pome listeners like san francisco tech billionaire marc benioff yes it's now being reported that the sales force c.e.o. is donating thirty million to fund homelessness research at the university of california san francisco which according to sales force is the largest ever private donation to fund homelessness research sales force goes on to declare that the

unprecedented initiative will provide research data and evidence based solutions to help cities invest in the most effective programs to prevent and homelessness now well i'm sure mr benioff is being sincere and putting his money where his heart is in the fight to end this terrible scourge but one has to wonder if spending thirty million on research for homelessness is really getting the most bang for the buck you see nowhere in all that god league of philanthropic buzzwords that we heard earlier was anything about i don't know actually physically giving folks without a home a home a magine how many homes or shelters one could buy the four thousand some odd homeless living on the streets of san francisco with thirty million dollars instead the thirty million goes to the university because what we need right now is to better understand the reasons for a home and that's not actually helping the homeless you see my friends you wouldn't

need to put thirty million in research if you step down from the ivory tower of. lived in the real world of skyrocketing rent and housing prices coupled with a diabolical health care system designed to bankrupt more than cure and the only way you can do that and find that real world is if you start watching the homes. it looks like real that this would be. as a teacher to fall out of. the day like you that i got. that we. would. listen. to this is how. well i'm going to watching august i am i wrote for and i'm i think. here's here's something interesting.
