places joining us this evening this is r.t. . first this hour the white house says that president trump has just held a phone conversation with his russian counterpart vladimir putin get more on this story now from our correspondent the standoff sounds like a significant moment what details that we have a good well neal that we do know that the conversation lasted around ninety minutes so a long talk from the first but when you think of it and realize that it is the two leaders of two of the world's superpowers discussing the most pressing issues on the agenda well it doesn't sound like a long anymore so what did they talk about we do know that the talk was highly heavily dominated by the situation in venezuela and certainly a lot for the two leaders to discuss. especially it's not just two leaders but two

geo political rivals in this sense because russia of course is supporting nicolas maduro the incumbent president saying that he is the legitimate ruler who was elected and washington supporting one why dole and trying to oust nicolas maduro so obviously vladimir putin and donald trump try to look for common ground and we do know that they have agreed at least on one thing and that is if any transition of power was to take place in venezuela it should be very very peaceful seoul no arms no interventions nothing of the sort it seems that lattimer putin and donald trump do see eye to eye on that also they discussed the situation in north korea and that is particularly interesting of putting put in context because vladimir putin did me to north korea's supreme leader kim jong on just last week and we also know that. did somewhat to vent his frustration with the way washington chooses to do

diplomacy with his country and vladimir putin apparently made something of a promise to pass those concerns to the american side of course no way of telling whether or not that was done during that phone conversation also the situation in ukraine got into the spotlight during the talk and worldwide i'm appalled and did make an emphasis of the minsk agreements should be implemented that there should be more focus on how these agreements are being implemented and it is of course something known as the minsk peace process and which is an internationally recognized and agreed on road map to restoring peace in ukraine to ending this bloody civil war that is basically tearing the country apart all saw the situation around the release of the report could not be overlooked so the two leaders briefly discussed this but the key word as briefly as apparently they chose not. to focus

on the two have really now this is pretty much the basic list of what they talked about for those ninety minutes and i should see something or be very interesting introduction if i may say so for the meeting between the countries two top diplomats so we go larger over and might be to meet in about two weeks time in helsinki so what else may come out of this phone conversation we'll have to see after that because the full story there our correspondent thank you. moving on from this is interior minister has been branded a liar claiming anticapitalist attacked stuff for the parish hospital during a may day rally that turned ugly but videos and eyewitness accounts of the incident suggest that they were actually taking cover from riot police firing tear gas on the shoulder dubiously 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 particularly by frances interior minister that actually some of the rioters and those protesters were trying to attack a hospital trying to attack the stores and trying to enter into that hospital this particular hospital was actually a surgical intensive care unit and there was descriptions of the patients in sight seeing that they were quite scary situation many of them were intimidated some ventilated and that the staff had him rickly try to fight off that attack of those protesters entering into the site this is what france's interior 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 with 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 for his resignation. if it was a deliberate lie in turn and soley to do and turn issues social movement then the interior minister should be fired with are doing. kristoff.

shamelessly and manipulated the press to spread these lies you know who's you know 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 a message that 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 mass not 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 un sanctioned weapon against the protesters it begs the question whether the police are the ones here inciting the violence and instead of trying to control the situation they're actually poor ring oil on the fire. be my hospital staff or spoken to the media

describing the moment one may day protesters rushed into the facility. still in the month sheer 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. on the there were several of us we didn't see any black blocks we saw some yellow vests who were in a panic going in all directions there were about ten of them so 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. can i said to the u.k. now where help position m.p.'s are calling for an official inquiry into the alleged leak of secret plans by sack defense minister gavin williamson the prime minister

trees may insist the matter is now closed and his firing is only due to her loss of confidence in him more details his r.t. . 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 an authorized 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 kevin 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 has 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. and surrounding areas i don't think let's say we want to thank you thank you thank you very wrong these necessities.

indeed we take a carrot and stick them right. personally i don't look like the stick. but it is amazing. what's come be achieved with a sharpened carrot you can see that gavin williamson wasn't without his quirks 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 he 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 dire local election results today and

with greg'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 mordant magic will rub off on her. face because prominent conservative unto subbasement figures from its platform citing policy against dangerous individuals and organizations the firm also applies to facebook and instagram and most of the people on this list of prominent media profiles including the likes of alex jones with his website info was. a user to my lawyer not political activist laura luma moreover anyone who promotes their content on social media faces a similar fates facebook underlines it's always bound individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate regardless of ideology but you tube of poor joseph watson who's also be bound by the social media giant claims that the move is purely political. i was given no reason whatsoever for being banned by

the company's rules against hate and violence so much damage already done so many demented and delusional followers have been radicalized in many people ate it by cards face book. ben harris quiney chair of the british think tank the bow group thinks the 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 bricks of those who 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 a free debate which really it's not very clear they are not based look at very clearly putting themselves on one side of the political debate it is absolutely you could tell them a free speech because they're saying these individuals are dangerous well many people like myself see them as perfectly reasonable act in
