you're watching our two international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned seven pm welcome to the program. france's interior minister is being branded a liar after claiming anti-capitalist attack staff at a paris hospital during a may day rallies that turned ugly but videos and eye witness accounts of the incident suggest they were actually taking cover from right police firing tear gas are reports from the french capital. violence on may the first has been well documented in one of the most shocking stories that emerged from that violence was these allegations of particularly by forces interior minister that actually some of the reuters and 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 a surgical intensive care unit and there was descriptions of the patients inside

saying that they were in quite carry situation many of them were intimidated some ventilated and that the staff at whom rick leaks like 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. 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 and 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 fleeing 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 as such opposition politicians 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 in turn and soley to deliver and turn issues social movement then the interior minister should be fired with are doing. christophe. 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 protest in france it's also emerged at this video showing the police

offices actually picking up paving stones from the road and throwing that towards protesters that we know that this is a weapon of mass 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 dead of trying to control the situation they're actually poor ring oil on the fire meanwhile hospital staff members have spoken to the media describing the moment when mayday protesters rushed into the facility. you'll him almost a number of them startled us that 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 are 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 eyes. to the u.k. now where opposition m.p.'s are calling for an official inquiry into the alleged leak of secret plans by sack defense minister gavin williamson but prime minister theresa may insists the matter is now closed and his farm is due only to her loss of confidence in him artist point worker has more. this was a man of course who had huge political ambitions it was said that he wanted to work his way to the very top to succeed to reason may but his fall from grace appears to

have been even faster than the sort of foss track to success to resume a sacked him as defense secretary earlier this week she accused him of leaking highly sensitive information i put to you delayed us information from the investigation which provides compelling evidence suggesting your responsibility for do you not to rise disclosure i can no longer have full confidence in you as secretary of state for the fence and a minister in my cabinet and ask you to leave her majesty's government gavin williamson is calling for a criminal investigation into the leak in order to establish his innocence he's sworn on his kids' lives that he wasn't behind the leak there are now rumors in westminster that williamson could be out for revenge that he's got enough dirt on the prime minister to bring her down she's been working at the top level of cabinet the highest echelons of power for

a few years now he was eventually brought into cabinet as defense secretary way he was rather outspoken and. frankly russia should go away it should churchill. once rare to hear. something like to thank you. for the very wrong business that he. indeed we take a carrot and stick to the great. personally i don't look like the stick. but it is amazing. what's come be achieved with the show and. you can see that gavin williamson wasn't without his quotes he was famous in parliament for keeping

a pet tarantula named crudeness on his desk and he has been posting rather a lot on social media in fact he's quite prolific keep posted since his sacking a photograph on instagram with his two pet dogs saying that it's been a really tough week but it's all ok when you get to come home to your pets he says he's going to have a lot more time for them now he's now been replaced by the u.k.'s first ever female defense secretary penny mordant she's a royal navy reservist and fun fact she once worked as a magician's assistant now looking at the diallo coal election results today am with gregg's it still dragging on and with williamson refusing to shut up and go away perhaps to reason may is hoping that some of penny more dence magic will rub off on her. facebook husband prominent conservative anti-establishment figures from its platform citing policy against dangerous

individuals and organizations the ban also applies to facebook on instagram most of the people on the list have prominent media profiles that includes the likes of alex jones with his website in four wars x. breitbart news editor novelist and political activist laura loom or moreover anyone who promotes their content on social media faces a similar fate facebook maligns it's always been individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate regardless of ideology but you two are appalled just watson who has also been banned by the social media giant claims the move is purely political. i was given no reason whatsoever for being banned by facebook or instagram this is punishment this is a political purge this has nothing to do with hate or violating terms of service yesterday ever wrote an article about how i was leavin in a digital gulag on holocaust remembrance day and today even though i was honest and

have dedicated my life to competent jew hatred these nazis in silicon valley ban me facebook's action has sparked a censorship debate with some saying the company should ban more people while others warn of repercussions on free speech every conservative should be concerned about alex jones prison planet and others getting an arbitrary banned from facebook platforms you on ics to censorship is entering a new more hysterical face soon there will be no right wing activists or commentators left how about jack benny and donald trump from twitter for violating the company's rules against hate and violence so much damage chilled ready done so many demented and delusional followers have been radicalized in many people ate it by cause facebook ben harris quiney a chair of the british thing take the bow group thanks facebook is suppressing one

side of the political debate and therefore the company should face regulation. they're reacting to the election results like the brits like the election of donald trump and it would appear that they feel there's a company that they want to put themselves on the side of the debate they need to be regulated as such as a as a political actor in the debate rather than a platform for three debate which i think it's now very clear they are not facebook very clearly putting themselves on one side of the political debate it is absolutely it could tell them to free speech because they're saying these individuals are dangerous well and many people like myself see them as perfectly reasonable act is it a political debates they have huge following across a variety of platforms facebook is clearly pushing itself as a political act why is expecting the regulation that other media companies face. and alleged long time collaborator of wiki leaks co-founder julian assange or

remain in pretrial detention ecuador a court in the country has dismissed an appeal by the cyber security expert who was arrested and kicked out last month on the same day i was taken into custody in the u.k. all would be me is a well known a software developer and privacy activist he's reportedly worked with wiki leaks in the past he was arrested by aqua dorian authorities on charges of trying to hack computer systems in the country however his lawyers claim the case is politically motivated now and not every investigation by they have been demonstrated what seems to be. when he did it or where to look i mean what's the information that we're going to show to the world that the decision made here was a political one millions hit the wall there were aspects of the hearing that i did not like for example the difference in time allocated that we were granted just fifty minutes to talk with the prosecutors spoke for almost one hour and fifteen

minutes well critically some of our arguments were dismissed by the judges. julian assange self is currently in a british prison after being sentenced to fifty weeks jail for breaking his bail terms he is also awaiting trial over a request for his extradition to the united states where he's wanted for allegedly conspiring to hack into classified government files a songe told a london court on thursday that he wouldn't surrender voluntarily to the americans activist lori love who was also accused of hacking into u.s. government computers leaves astonish will have a huge battle ahead of him. and i think he's going to have an uphill struggle everyone has an uphill struggle under us that she should request because it's a very he said the u.s. doesn't have to provide any evidence they just have to have the paperwork in which the presumption is lead towards extradition we managed to win because of a lot of campaigning and a lot of political support for him and he supports and john this 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 he's complicit in his persecution 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 the injustice and isolation. there have been farcical scenes in the united states congress after the man who were inducted the report into alleged question between trump and russia failed to show 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 democratic lawmakers who want to see this document in full theatrically play spars name card in front of an empty chair and 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 want bars had to roll they're not mauling charges of contempt of congress killed often has the details. 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 fails 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 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 willing 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 after 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. stocks look clean compared to just 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 the 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 rejected

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 the. news just in the white house says president trump has just held a phone call with his russian counterpart vladimir putin the call was said to have lasted more than an hour and the two leaders discussed several important topics among those were the current crisis in venezuela the situation in north korea and even the possibility of a new nuclear deal we'll keep you updated as more details emerge about the call and you can also follow all the updates on our web site r.t. dot com. what is it calling the coin is magic internet money the new type of digital

comes down to ignorance. i think the stupidity. is generally ignorance and we see the same for g j lace all over the world we have seen many many video clips of tourists trying to see. what we've seen is a people trying to ride on their backs throwing sand teasing the tour operators offering the chance to swim with pigs have defended their businesses saying the animals are not harmed the popularity of the original feral colony has seen a host of other pig 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 watching who can stop people from behaving inappropriately and unless there is adequate surveillance no i don't think

it can stop they don't all have different shelter they don't have adequate fresh water and they are forced to beg for their food frequently there are no regulations here in the bahamas to protect the pigs from the stupidity of humans that are global as break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know harvey will be taking over at about thirty minutes thanks for joining in wherever you may be. this is this is a stick of water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised
