france is crippled by a nationwide strike up a pension reform plans with protests in the capital descending into violence. the russian foreign minister rejects germany's claims that moscow's not been cooperating with an investigation into the murder of a georgian citizen in berlin this summer. faces fresh censorship accusations after changes to its terms of service leads to fears of a shadow banning. hello from moscow this is r.t.

international money is calling for i welcome to update this hour we're starting in france which has had a turbulent thursday paralyzed by the biggest strike in years with workers protesting on mass against the government's plans to overhaul the pension system transport network has been brought to a standstill and schools and hospitals badly affected as well demonstrations have been held right across the country he's been following the protest in paris. this is against a proposed changes by the french government to the pension system here in france the idea is that they will amalgamate number of different systems around fuji 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 future or in fact that they might have to work even longer and not as cool huge fury here in france plasterer public for i can tell you the crimes go all the way back more than a close to do nor which is where this process was. originally due to start off with

what was come for many hours has turned to a huge tensions with clashes between the police and the protesters you might be able to hear some of those blasts going off behind us that's tear gas that's being thrown into the protesters the taxes have set light to several parts of the streets around me including some of the electric scooters they've been bringing items to put on to the fire and we saw a van. on fire and they got out tear gas really coming quite close to us and you might get a sense of it just down that you can see there more tear gas down into the protesters shariah and move people away from the area and so the fire crews can get on with their job which is to try and put out that fire i get you get a sense of some of the damage that's being caused here shelter here has been smashed that's something we see quite regularly in the protests another fire taking place across the street actually as they're not just that big fire with

a big plume of smoke but of course here it really looks like in the last sort of 10 to 15 minutes or hell it has broken loose have also been tensions elsewhere in fronts not just here tensions in places like no other cities across from the reality is the people here are angry figures coming in from the prefect churn from the police when the course fronts say that more than 450000 people have taken part in this strike today not just transport workers but teaches students health workers plumbers a fire fight isn't even the police people are adamant that they want to have their voices heard and it seems like today they've come out to the streets to make sure that's happening. among other protests around france and joined effigy supposedly of president mccrone wearing a crown was put on display in the southern city of najaf. protesters there were

seen hitting it with sticks as it dangled from a tree the strike action there also saw some sporadic violence as demonstrators clashed with police. russia's flatly rejected germany's claims that it's not been cooperating with an investigation into the murder of a georgian national in berlin in august russian foreign minister sergei lavrov told r.t. on thursday that it appears moscow will again be blamed for a crime it was not involved in with the story is more if a national. relations between moscow and bearly now going drastically downhill germany's unexpected decision to expel 2 russian embassy staffers on wednesday has left more scope fuming angela merkel complained russia didn't do enough to has ceased tame the investigation into the murder of a georgian national back in august and now barely says there is real and sufficient indication that russia was behind it i asked russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov for his response. 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 where other satellite images to 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 corporative if germany wants to follow suit nothing good will come of it that's not a good way to deal with anyone and with russia in particular is in 100 was a 40 year old georgia and citizen of chetan origin he was targeted in a berlin park on his way to a mosque with eyewitnesses saying he was shot in the head and chest by a man on a bicycle his murder was then dubbed by the media as scree paul 2.0 and the victim

labeled as a kremlin opponent but who was the victim a right hand man to terrorists during the 2nd chechen war his role was to lead extremist groups in the caucasus and recruit spies and hunger shrill is reported paramilitary korea continued into 2012 when he is said to have assisted at georgian operation against his former comrades considered a terrorist by the. russian authorities he was also listed as a potential islamist threat for some time in germany to now various media outlets have published their own conclusions into his death the evidence includes 4 to comparisons and killing parton's of a man who had been in hiding from interpol and russia and the reporters suggesting the wanted murderer was then hard by moscow chechnya to do it again the federal investigation in germany is just the beginning now on google merkel says she hopes

russia will help german investigators but it seems no matter who was behind it embassy expulsion indicate that the verdict has in fact already been given. power to reporting from europe. a producer working for video agency was detained at this week's nato summit in london and question of the terrorism act replaced chief content officer has been talking us through the details where of course very surprised when this happened as the media agency were going to cover 70th anniversary summit our producer was accredited for the summit which was confirmed to him via e-mail by organizes having this in malik he went there on wednesday to pick up the pass to go inside and film which is normal procedure for journalists. so he showed 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 mine 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 i was approached by 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 passed 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 but laughter died he was told that his accreditation had been revoked 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 the nato accreditation procedure as they say in exceptional circumstances there is of 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 was this type of incident a one off hour later all of it well i would say that we have no. ever experienced anything like this with nato as such but 2 years ago when 2017 were denied

accreditation for a high level security conference called struck calm summit struck com is a strategic. communications center of excellence they're not part of nato as such but they are a nato accredited military organization so they're related. back to the organizers wrote us an email that they were denying us accreditation because we are affiliated with our see and they said they don't consider r.t. a journalist organization so as for this week's summit near london i know that 2 reporters were working apparently without problems so we're waiting to see what the reason was for denying probably accreditation. which is updated terms of service will now be able to put limits on content and that's raising fears that the social media platform could apply so-called shadow bans that effectively means suppressing publicly posted content without the users knowledge the posts are not

visible to followers it's an accusation the twitters face before birth dawn of reports next it could become the norm for next year. twitter is coming out of the shadows remember all these media figures accusing the social platform of sneakily hiding their posts from their followers feeds what big brother hides from us what is referred to as shadow banding may be even more pernicious if you're on the left maybe you're ok with this but if you're not on the left or even if you are and you revere the 1st amendment you should be concerned that's actually been well substantiated vice news which is not a right wing outlet says that this is happening on our own team basis to a lot of folks on the right side of the aisle but almost never people on the left side of the aisle do not know our island people very nice that's what i think is that you've got to be balanced house leader kevin mccarthy wrote our chairman a letter and said hey this is going on and we think your committee should

investigate it and how the twitter boss made a surprise an innocent face saying that oh no no no they're definitely not going behind anyone's backs to quietly hide their opinions twitter undertook no behavior to selectively censor conservative republicans or conservative voices on your platform correct correct. well apparently all those assurances were just a big pile of nonsense now for those of you not too tech savvy i'm talking about a thing called shadow banning to the shuttle banned user everything looks just fine they can log into their account follow calm and like even post tweets but crucially their posts are simply not shown in other people's feeds even if they are subscribed to the user twitter had been adamantly denying that it does this until

it slipped this one small change into their constitution we may also remove or refuse to distribute any content on the services ltd strip you show visibility of any content on the service suspended terminate users and reclaim usernames without mobility to you it's a case where just a couple of words make all the difference the part about limiting tweet visibility was not in the previous edition of the document here it is nothing of the sort there and one can only wonder why twitter has decided to come clean all of a sudden perhaps because after all the outcry from the users wronged by the platform it simply made no sense in denying it anymore or and maybe because the twitter star film had previously outright confessed to shadow banning already on hidden camera one.

from one. but don't want to share. there's even a lawsuit against twitter accusing it of discriminating against conservative voices by your employing its shadow banning tactic but now that it's in the terms of service some users will just have to accept that they are talking to themselves. it's not so much that twitter or facebook or any other social media platform have influence what they have is the power to promote certain people's opinion and d. promote tell of the people's influence on twitter that is the critical thing and what we need to do is have a fair platform we need to have a free and open discourse and we need to allow everybody to have a similar right to say what they've got to say i don't agree with absolutely everything that he said on twitter not even the conservative stuff that we're talking about but actually it shouldn't be for these big tech companies to decide

our discourse our discussion our debate in our own country that is manifestly unfair and it's not a business decision actually it's a public utility and that's a critical point. one of the stars of the hit netflix series narcos wagner maura has blamed the lead bank in his native brazil for creating a political monster he's been speaking exclusively to r.t. is spanish host and former ecuadorian president rafael career and limited i mean how could the people who great brazil choose such a primitive person is both road is never going to look this is a good question well see the perhaps the fact is that when. you don't. you don't even think even you have no answer and a blue one. but during the government of lula and we lived in a certain isolated world the country has reached a new level 30000000 people have moved out of poverty airports are full of people

like never before more black students are attending universities we lived in a certain isolated world because lula is a magician he achieved a reconciliation between social classes which was unlikely to ever happen in brazil told the bankers don't worry everything will be fine the only thing i want is to get people out of poverty you will not lose your positions and your income and for some time despite high prices for raw materials everything went well but then the economy collapsed and humans did not possess the same ability or charisma as ruler and then the elite which temporarily agreed to this agreement said that's it but some of. it was and i even think that the same elite which had no other choice but to support was so narrow is now beginning to realize what kind of monster they've created and is now trying to distance itself from a stance on the newspapers wrote that lula was

a thief and insulted duma they do the same with culture figures here for example i have a lot of lawsuits with journalists because i did not know that i will sue them they say that i use the law to promote culture because i have leftist views and support leftist ideology and i filed lawsuits against the media but what happened to move is a real mess. the head of the international olympic committee has backed the findings of a world anti-doping agency panel over alleged attempted results in the moscow laboratory database which has strongly denied the accusations after issuing its own technical investigation and response are things ready to cotton over picks up the story. a group of russian technical experts have conducted their own investigation and rejected claims that moscow manipulated athletes test results in a slab or

a tree database they claim that moscow has transferred all the information required to wada and never tempered with the results of the probe now we turn now doubt the database could have been altered by those who had admin access to the system and according to the experts those people would be the program developer and his team who actually back in 2015 fled to the united staes right as the doping scandal ask elated when russian experts say that they were the ones who tempered because they had admin rights russian experts have found that the developer of the limbs the most mr make it you of and his colleague mr socialist how did ministries access to the system as a result of the research the russian side is determines the database used to the most has been changed from time to time and after mr roach. and so believe ski fled to the us the database had been in fact run via the internet from los angeles until

june 26th seen the situation changed in 2016 when it was revealed that such manipulations took place the russian agency was guarded and 2016 within you had of the department appointed but a problem seemingly still exist there are actually 2 copies of the database one that was given to wada in 2017 by an unknown whistleblower and the other one provided by the russian side in general this year and the group of experts now believes that it is essentially wrong to compare these 2 coffees because of their different origins while the 29000 copy was produced following all the necessary technical requirements the other came from unknown digital front here after possibly being tampered with and that is backed by avid and found during the investigation conducted by the experts. a russian led criminal investigation has

found a mechanism of deliberate tampering with a doping test results deeply integrated into the lymph system so what do we have now well despite numerous offer is coming from russia to create a united and independent investigation team into this matter what and has been either avoiding or even rejecting these attempts russian experts explain why they think this happened. in this case we think it's probe what is intelligence investigations department tried by all means not to undermine trust in the information provided by the whistleblower and the conclusions made by mr mclaren and now of final decision on the case will be made on december the 9th in paris russia could now face a 4 year ban from hosting major sports competitions and clean athletes made to compete under a new trial flack. next week's general election in britain seems to be the next to russia linked to scandal on the horizon the opposition labor party leaders being

accused by the daily telegraph newspaper of helping to spread russian this information it's after he exposed league documents on the u.s. u.k. trade talks but it also comes just months after the very same paper published a story apparently based on a leak of the very same documents as nichiren explained. 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 any conservative government do anything to put the n.h.s. up for negotiation in trade talks so probably as an interviewer 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 the us and i just garage sales aside it's the leaks dossier that's grabbing attention if not from the russians when i could coburn'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 an earlier russian descent from asian campaign the daily telegraph tools that conclusion from a social media a little that works with nato's atlanta councils think 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 corp and how that there was much talk which printed do you commission as 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 official said it was easier to change a regulation before it is finalized there was much talk which printed do you commission is 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 their source was did they have any 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 pop in to be those at the telegraph the u.s. u.k. trade talk minutes found their way onto the internet have you asked the cabinet office to investigate and if not do you think they should be i'm. not the answer is no. 10 years ago december the 5th tragedy strike in the russian city of perm a deadly fire britto nightclub killing 156 as russia commemorates that horrific incidents we spoke to one of the many families still suffering the consequences. exactly the kind of street as fast as it is it is. such that emotion yes evil

it comes. to sting you could just get. this thing. or an. explosives. it has. been spinning. mirrors. the national news are bombing.

my spit experience in a traffic light show which was a little bit on the border texted. me and didn't exist if you. said. something to thank you for quitting a little and you get up sang at the hospital was last just forces. greater game vice or a features of what. you wrote is. all good. people.

and that is all from the moscow newsroom for this hour max and stacy are on the way with your thursday cars report off which i'll have your next update where have you churning and thanks for choosing r.t. international. the bottom of the last couple of feet tall.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only hastily i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical if. you sit down and talk. hello america azure this is the kaiser report a man to

a quick low dial 180000000000000 more on this. ok boomer you are a boomer and you sound like a boomer always loans loans loans debt debt well i want to start this episode with this theme of boomer which has gone viral of course and that's the millennium versus the boomers the millennial. basically rising up ok they're the biggest voting block on the in town and they're searching asserting their power so 1st to put the context of what's going on in america that's ok boomer thing i want to look at this chart and this is only from 79122010 and it shows the u.s. national debt and the u.s. annual g.d.p. says he see from when we started our national debt in 17 $9100.00 all the way to just after a while where to we had almost no debt g.d.p. stayed flat and now the least nominally our nominal g.d.p.

is going up rapidly but it's almost entirely with debt and as we know from covering drone powell last week you know that is starting to we were having to create $3.00 a day just for $1.00 g.d.p. said those are going to cross at one point but this is important to understand that this is the boomers and donald trump is the 1st of the boomers the 1st wave of them born in 1906 this is the world they know where everything goes up it's always getting better everything does get better numbers wise even if it's not just dell model they always say number go up let's look at another date 1776 you know in the beginning of what we now know as the united states of america during the children 40 year approximate period of time interest rates have never been lower that's why you have so much debt because the cost of incurring bet is.
