live from moscow to the world this is our to international my names you know neal hello and welcome to the program our top story. has been parra lies by its biggest strike in years this thursday with workers protesting. pension reform plans the country's transport systems have been brought to a standstill schools and hospitals closed while hundreds of rallies are expected nationwide with. charlotte who's following developments hi there charlotte talk us through why people are so angry today. well as you mentioned this strike has been planned for many months now and these proposed changes by the french government the pension system here in france the idea is that

they won't. come a number of different systems around food you 2 different systems into a universal system but people say that i will have a massive impact on their pensions because it will mean that their pensions perhaps could be lower in the. or in fact that they might have to work even longer and that has caused huge fury here in france originate was the rail workers and the metro east off in paris that would do to be on strike they've been joined now by teachers by firefighters by students by health workers by plumbers even in some respects by police officers who are fear reus about these plan changes by the macro government i just want you to get a sense of just how many people come out to this particular march here in paris this is one of the main marches taking place today it's one of around $250.00 taking place across france which shows you just how widespread the anger is the

idea is to bring france to a standstill today to power lies the country and that's essentially what they've done in terms of public transport at least with some 90 percent of trains not running today the majority of the metro lines of paris are also closed with the exception of those that are automated we know the airport staff of also joined in with the suggestion some 20 percent of flights could be impacted today and we know the anger here is of malays that is being growing now for over a year since we saw the start of the movement a year ago so while this might be about changes to the pension system this is a by general malaise and general anger amongst the french public about what the current administration under president mccall is doing let's take a listen to what some people are taking part in this protest are the reasons why they're taking potshots. event you don't have it is i'm 28 years old i've been working for 10 years and as it was are it's clear to me i won't be able to retire

it will be impossible to survive until then nobody cares about our working conditions at all. why we're doing is very good to know we're all present we want to live and work and earn a decent living the same. retirees should get these pensions because this affects us all the working you have to work for the unemployed and the pension. and we work poor joins we want to fight against it oh. well the government says that the idea behind the changes would make this system much fairer knott's one wants to do this but that obviously isn't going down very well with the protesters here in fact this is a huge police and security presence in france some 6000 officers have been deployed and that's because the interior minister is afraid that the demonstration that's here today is going to be overrun by some of those in the past cool some of the

chaos we've seen in other protests in paris and they are determined to clamp down will not in fact there is been a cordon around the area where this protest is starting and the police officers checking and searching all bags i mean my bag was checked and there was a question as to whether i could bring a gas mask in explained it was firework and the police officer wasn't happy about that but his superiors did say yes the press you're allowed in but i saw other people having their bags search and contraband being taken away by the offices because they are concerned that this could turn into another chaotic and violent protest for the moment though people waiting to start the march and to continue this protest a protest that was scheduled for today december 5th but in fact the suggestion is that this strike could now go on a roll into the next few weeks as these protesters attempt to paralyze france and i hope to see

a reversal in those suggestions by mckown of those changes to the pension system something that happened back in 9095 with the last time a government in france try to mess with the pension and people's retirement ages you know. really giving us a sense of what is occurring there in the french capital and indeed across the nation of france a charlatan ski. upcoming elections in britain seems to be the next rusher link scandal on the horizon the u.k. labor party leader has been accused by the country's telegraph newspaper of helping to spread russian descent from a ship that after he exposed leaked documents on u.s. u.k. trade talks but it also comes just months after the very same paper itself published the story apparently based on a leak of the very same documents. it's crunch time ahead of the u.k.'s general election meaning it's now or never to smear anyone and everyone in red in other

words link them to russia this week it's mostly comrade jeremy corbett as we can see from this headline bounce off the court and produced a leaked cache of documents part of which he says reveals how pm boris johnson put the n.h.s. up for sale during trade talks with the us q damage control from mr prime minister the n.h.s. is not for sale and under no circumstances will this government or any conservative government do anything to put the n.h.s. up for negotiation in trade talks or problems and if you know that those documents represent meetings that took place between a british minister and officials in the usa i think it's time they gave us the shorts that they will not sign off our n.h.s. that they will not sell off our public services as part of a trade deal with us and i just garage sales aside it's the least dossier that's grabbing attention if not from the russians when i could corbin's documents have possibly come from corbin calls it nonsense but among the pack of those demanding

the labor party come clean it seems the daily telegraph knows better independent researchers said the documents carried the specter of foreign influence as they had been published online using methods that directly mirror earlier russian descent from asian campaign the daily telegraph draws that conclusion from a social media a little exposure that works with nato as atlanta council's think tank guaranteed impartiality then all maybe the guise of the telegraph are looking for answers in all the wrong places it seems the outlet got its hands on a strikingly similar dossier let's take a closer look here's an excerpt from the dossier corben what there was much talk which printed do you commission is the bad guys it is easier to change your regulation before it's finalized ok again that was from the leak obtained by the opposition leader and this from the dossier published by the telegraph 4 months ago

see the difference. british negotiators said washington had repeatedly painted the e.u. commission as the bad guys american officials said it was easier to change a regulation before it is finalized there was much talk which painted the u. commission as the bad guys it is easier to change your regulation before it's finalized well maybe we should ask the authors of the july report who then a source was that they have a new russian friends who might have provided the documents also here's a tip keep a close eye on the online comments section some of it's really worth a look like this one posted more than 2 weeks ago with links to the very scandalous documents at the center of it all available for anyone and everyone to enjoy however it would seem that the people most concerned about the origins of the dossier happen to be those at the telegraph the u.s. u.k. trade talk minutes found their way on to the internet the cabinet office to investigate and if not do you think they should be i'm. not the answer to that

on the telegraph has yet to reply to an r.t. request for comment. a producer working for our to video agency was detained this week's nato summit in london and questioned to under the terrorism act his accreditation was an old police question and search them on said. joined by chief content officer for the reply video agency. kovar you don't for the time what happened at the nato summit here while we were of course very surprised when this happened as a media agency we were going to cover nativist 70th anniversary summit our producer was accredited for the summit which was confirmed to him via email by organizers having this email he went there on wednesday to pick up the pass just to go inside

and film which is normal procedure for all journalists so he showed them this acceptance email and his passport and they told him that he had to wait in the lobby at this point he was approached by a plain clothed man who presented a police warrant and requested him. to wait for police questioning i believe we can now listen to our producer's own account of what happened. a number of police officers who requested my id and asked me to explain what i was doing i told them that i was a journalist waiting for my credit ation pass and i identified myself by giving them my passport press card and the accreditation approval letter the police then proceeded to detain me under the terrorism act they searched me and my belongings. well after the bad he was told that he's accreditation had been revived and then

police left like i said this came as a surprise to us because our producer has been covering events in the u.k. for a plea on many occasions including state events and other developments as an agency we do extensive coverage of things happening in the u.k. for example we were the only media organization that filmed julian assange when he was dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in london last spring. as to this particular event in accordance where. accreditation procedure is as they say in exceptional circumstances there is not the right to revoke accreditation even if it had been confirmed what kind of exceptional circumstances we're talking about here remains unclear to us we filed a formal request to the organization right after the incident requesting

clarification but we haven't had we haven't heard back from them yet is this the 1st time an instance of this of. talking about a terrorism but indeed anything like this at nato anything this happened before i would say we have never experienced anything like this related to nato as such but 2 years ago when 2017 were denied accreditation for an event that was organized by nato through teacher communications center of excellence which is not part of nato as such by a military nato accredited military organization so they're connected so bad the band they wrote us an email stating that were denied accreditation because we are part of r.t. and they said they don't consider r.t. to be a journalist organization but this time of the card some. london we know that reporters

from r.t. are working the event apparently without any problems so we're waiting to see what their reason was for denying roughly access ok bring us right up to date on that and do keep us up to date on what occurs after it content officer for the reprieve anyway to see you katherina over. russia's foreign ministry says the expulsion of 2 embassy employees from germany is on friendly and on justified there is evidence to link moscow to the murder of a georgian national in berlin several months ago chancellor merkel has also accused russia of not sufficiently cooperating with the investigation into the shooting russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov drew part of the world's between the case in berlin and the dining of m h 17 and said germany won't benefit from taking a hostile 'd cooperative approach to russia. years ago in uganda. russia and germany have special channels set up to tackle issues such as violations

of the law we should use them they said we did not cooperate enough this is groundless some countries today recalled the tragedy of m.h. 17 my dutch counterpart said we didn't do enough then we supplied them with all the necessary information with data from our radars and so on we gave them everything we're on the satellite images the us promised nobody answered that we asked them what kind of cooperation they want from us they responded by saying you have to confess you did it that would be cooperate if germany wants to follow suit nothing good will come of it but that's not a good way to deal with anyone and with russia in particular. the 40 year old victim was an asylum seeker of chechen the sent he was targeted in a berlin park on the way to a mosque with witnesses saying he was shot in the head chest by him on a bicycle with more on what we know about the case here's her burning correspondent

. initially the 2nd screwball case in the media less attention was given to the victim himself who has sought asylum here in germany his name is a cynic on concourse fi who some course has been described as a political point of lead in the report and he is an ethnic chechen who later became a georgian citizen a right hand man to terrorists during the 2nd chechen war his role to lead extremists groups in the caucasus and recruit spies kind of those meetings reported paramilitary career continued into 2012 when he said to have assisted a georgian operation like it says former comrades considered a terrorist by the russian authorities he was also put on a list of potential islamist threat here in germany as well but they you can definitely see that there are certain interests who want to poison the relationship between russia and germany and this is a for more than 100 years on going straight to g.

at certain hours and it seems that there is some cleaning up we're. going on isis and everything around and this high profile terrorist who might be the nuclear related to all these had been nice in there with isis and syria and so on so i think there can be many more reasons why this was done and who did this apart from russia now various media outlets this medium the name cat that those here center and the insider have published their own conclusions to is that their evidence includes for comparisons and killing patterns of a man who had been on a hiding list for interpol and russia and suggests they wanted him or her was hired by moscow to then do the same thing he did murder but the federal investigation in germany is just beginning now there is. not nor has there ever been any evidence

that russian governmental structures have anything to do with this incident but back in august the speculation and media hysteria had already squarely blamed russia so perhaps reports of this type of nature are not coming as a surprise the problem is that we cannot trust any of those explanations from german governments at all it was already was this creep out it was with iraq all these so-called big evidences turned out to be just nothing and in this case to make such a big thing like sending 2 people home is without any proven fact it is just a disgrace i'm feeling very ashamed of the federal bureau of foreign affairs. israel's prime minister has praised the united states for the way it has prosecuted

its mark simone pressure campaign against iran benjamin netanyahu claim the protests which have broken out against iran and its proxies across the middle east in recent months are proof that the sanctions are working. by the grocer and drop of blows. tremendous pressures and sanctions on iran i think we are seeing that we're seeing the iranian impart tarter we see demonstrations in the u.k. iran demonstrations and by the demonstrations would be rude and i think it's important to increase its pressure on rest in iran was triggered last month by a decision to hike petrol prices amid ongoing economic hardships caused by mounting u.s. sanctions and the u.s. has acknowledged that up was the plan all along he course a telescope or. the u.s. has had its sights on a run for a while and now with protests engulfing the nation washington is sinking its close

in iran is killing perhaps thousands of thousands of people right now as we speak that's why they cut off the internet so they cut off the internet for people gives you what's going on not just all numbers which are a bit big numbers which are really good and really big numbers but i think it's a terrible thing to think the world is to be watching. true with reports of more than 200 people killed in the unrest there is plenty of reason for the condemnation except while the u.s. is quick and eager to destroy tehran over its handling of the unrest washington is conveniently a meting what has led to the unrest in the 1st place each one of your situation with sanctions is not our fault the sanctions are stimulating instability in the region they are cool movie by the white house we have no choice other than resistance and standing against those who are opposing you essentially. there's

a lot of truth to that to iran's economy flatlined after the us imposed sanctions pulled the plug on the country's oil industry and speaking of health care america's economic blockade also killed iran's medical imports leaving tehran literally begging the world to let the life saving medication in instead of arrogant threats or holo people promises asked monica health center to sell products and needle in iranian kids with to cover their wounds us economic terrorism on iran is designed to starve and in the case of medical supplies kill innocent citizens with the economic backbone splintered iran has seen its inflation skyrocket g.d.p. dive and people gradually lose their jobs this domino effect has now erupted into a full blown revolt as about a century kickstarted by the renewal of sanctions. and while some may accuse the us of being 2 faced for exploiting the unrest they helped create in

their geopolitical game the us itself does not this exits are incredibly effective and we're simply simply doing this to keep america safe to keep the middle east more stable and to enable the right of people to. convince the regime that it needs to change its ways. in the most fundamental of bass where to just ask a rock to be able to knock another argument proving the sanctions a good night to rest is a poll from last year on the vital signs of to iran's economy were within the norm 80 percent over rainy and didn't want any changes to the political system but now the us is willing to parade riots of their own making all over the internet even creating a channel rallying iranians to share their footage from the streets what the heck why not just how to run into submission altogether how broke every turkey in the

world is really arabs iranians americans europeans and everyone else united for one purpose hope the long suffering iranian people gain open access to all social media a world wide. for freedom call out your most brilliant friends some rebel and cool through the night to do possible the times when you needed a vial of anthrax at the un to take down a country over it seems the times when you needed the un to approve of anything 1st our over all together a few cans of energy drink will do us rhetorical that says that we support the reigning people such as what trump is saying or secretary powell i would say is ludicrous because you cannot support a people and sanction them at the same time a lot of the pressure of the reigning people are under is because of u.s. sanctions i mean cancer patients are finding it very difficult to for example find

their medicine because of u.s. sanctions hearing in currency has lost over 70 percent of its value because of u.s. sanctions so the reigning people have been highly affected by u.s. sanctions much more than the rein in government so when something as we said protests in iran happen. in any kinds of these events you see the u.s. administrations they come out and support these protests only because they want to topple the iranian government not any real or sincere support of democracy in iran. this news stories are shaping up for nothing usual just by me busy putting together all the latest updates hope you'll join me for that in just over half an hour.

and we're going to fulfill repeated promises apologies to the people i promise to be you know we've all pots to. be. pretty. much. pretty good. now you want to 1st. know.

all. the. big. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy 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 smart 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 hall. all the yen the euro the dollar they all refer to each other and they're all going deeper and deeper into debt so there's no basic there or there there's no so there's no way to measure the dead against something that is could be considered money remember j.p.

morgan said only gold is money everything else is credit or debt ok so without that there is no way to measure that debt and there's no at the moment you know mike my view is that this is leading to a neo feudalism poor you have just a few private equity firms owing 98 percent of all the assets and everyone else is a living as service on that we're getting back to the dark ages. when there was only johnson. i just got out of prison for. 41 views. 72 years old. i got arrested who took some money to. go on like this everything was taken out of. my working moms who think it was. going to snow man who looks

a little bit like me. want to come. now. we're. going. to go. i did try to kind of try to get out. the snow do something i did.

and this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of our global economy in the 21st century i'm been one and i'm french born washington here's a look at what we have on deck today after a major slide in stocks on trade worries slightly jumped on reassurances from the u.s. president richard wolfe a professor at the university of massachusetts amherst and joins us to sift through the shaky market and the latest telecom threats plus rules undergone a major shake up amid antitrust threats from some of the nation's top political figures walk ins of simpler trading joins the show to break down the details of how the move or how interest concerns have ramped up and later. and major companies are continuing to ramp up their investment in space exploration

r.j. course one of the toughest week brings us the latest from the ground in los angeles on how major companies are launching their own space programs we have so much to get to today so let's go. and we begin here with the latest claim by president trump regarding the u.s. china trade talks because as of today president trump says the talks are going very well this of course is more positive than what the president said on tuesday when he indicated that a trade deal might have to wait until after the 2020 election we'd be clear here every time the president says that the trade deal may take a little bit longer stocks take a dive which then requires the president to say that a deal was close or the talks are going well in orangeburg. ring the market back up and that's exactly what happened on wednesday after the president made his statement to reporters at a meeting of nato leaders in london so the president said quote discussions are going very well and we'll see what happens and then sure enough proof like magic stocks rebounded on wednesday yes the president also indicated that the 2 sides are closer to agreement on how many tariffs would be rolled back in phase one of the

deal. and another.
