thank you for watching. i. cried nationwide strike over pension reform plans with protests in paris descending into violence and more unrest expected over the next few days. the crimes go all the way back more than a to. which he spent his predecessor was a rich. so-called shadow batting hiding uses content without knowing. the rage of the us.

of shooting an unarmed black teenager in 2012 launches a lawsuit demanding a $100000000.00 in damages the killing of trayvon martin spot the black lives maximum. this friday 6 december as it is today live from the out international world view center it's kevin owen here with the half hour update thanks for your company 1st the biggest strike in years has brought france to a standstill workers have been venting their anger against the government's plans to overhaul the pension system one of the largest trade unions in france has 1500000 people marched in support of the protest while the interior ministry estimates run $800000.00 to.

massive demonstrations are what across the country thursday with more unrest expected over the next few days must say also clashes between riot police and protesters officers used tear gas and buttons to disperse the crowds at times most violent rallies that hit the french capital was there the militant throughout the day for us. this strike has been planned for many months now and this is against a proposed changes by the french government to the pension system here in france the idea here is that they want to amalgamate number of different systems around 42 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 that has caused huge fury here in france a hero plasterer public but i can tell you that the crimes go all the way back more than a close to god do nor which is where this process was originally due to start off

with what was come for many hours is turned to huge tensions with clashes between the police and the protest as you might be able to hear some of those posturing off behind us that's tear gas that's being thrown into the protesters the taxes have set light to several hour parts of the streets around me including some of the electric scooters they've been bringing items to put on fire we saw a van. and on fire and they got 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 come 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 a child's. that fire incredible is flames just getting there and as you can hear you know we're seeing protests is smashing shops in front of us tear gas is

bringing down and those crews are battling. battling you if you are contain this fire they've also been tensions elsewhere in front north just here tensions in places like. other cities across from the reality is the people here are angry the suggestion now is that this one day a strike that was initially planned by transport workers and is now encompassed teachers health workers the firefighters and even the police could now start eroding stroy in the lead up to christmas and going on until he has destroyed his attempt to make the french government really think these pension reforms if that happens it will be the 1st time that france has seen such massive paralyzing strikes across the country since the french government backing 9095 try to do exactly the same and tried to reform the pensions for the moment here in france

people are adamant that they want to have their voices heard this come out to the streets to make sure that it's happening. to some of the protesters to believe that if this new pension reform scheme comes into force they will have enough to live on when they retire. if you see more of this or whatever you've been noised for 6 months 6 months this we're on strike you so it's logical but we are annoyed so much that we have a public service mission for you but we're here now. but this is not a strike by railway employees only but an ashen white strike by all the employees who don't want to have their pensions council and don't want to work more while earning less than $3.00 that they did i'm 28 years old i've been working for 10 years and as things are it's clear to me i want to be able to retire it will be impossible to survive until then nobody cares about our working conditions at all because this affects us all we the working teeth have to work for us for the

unemployed and the pensioners it all falls on us and we work poor jobs we want to fight against it. so it is updated terms of service says of low be able to put limits on content raising fears in the social media platform could apply so-called shadow bands that effectively mean suppressing publicly posted content that the users knowledge that their posts are not visible to followers it's not to say she took his face before but now as he goes down off reports it could become the norm for next year. twitter is coming out of the shadows remember all these media figures accusing these 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 a routine basis to a lot of folks on the right side of the al but almost never people on the left side of the aisle do not know our island people very least 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 under took 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 to tech savvy i'm talking about a thing called shadow banning to the shadow band 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 smooth change into their constitution we may also remove who refused to distribute any content on the services limit distribution a visit. lity 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. of the shadow that you own banned from one of. us. but you know what you should. 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. suppose they were moscow time mourning the case of spot the black lives matter movement in the u.s. is back in the spotlight after the money quoted the shooting dead trayvon martin an unknown black teenager and 2012 launched a lawsuit asking for $100000000.00 in damages and it seems even 7 years on the case that polarized the nation is just as rule and scale of motion reports. it was one

of the most resonant criminal cases in recent u.s. history the 2012 shooting of an unarmed african-american teenager a stark reminder of america's racial problems the vigilante george zimmerman saw the unarmed african-american teenager trayvon martin while patrolling in his neighborhood he then shot him dead. so you can bring in. the coming days in the nation charging see george zimmerman thank you today in an 8 hour shift and then the murder in the 2nd degree. * from. trayvon martin's name trended on twitter more than 2000000 times in just 13 days and the president of the

united states at the time barack obama said trayvon martin could have been me. 35 years ago songs and a documentary series follow the case even spawn the phrase black lives matter now an international movement against violence and racism. when you show a black lives matter that's inherently racist that's anti american and it's racist if it was one of us want to yes we would have been in jail.

well the family of trayvon martin has always maintained that this was a case of murder but george zimmerman's claim of self-defense got him a verdict of not guilty in court now george zimmerman is going back to court he's going to sue the martin family as well as the prosecutors claiming they did irreparable psychological damage to him because of their arrest charges prosecution and federal investigation zimmerman lives in constant fear of physical harm due to regular death threats which often are expressed in rap music as well as online social media commentary this move has got the black community theorists many calling the zimmerman's move. this is why we will never be silent and continue to fight fully variation in justice george zimmerman has spawned through the bottom and sunk lower defense come i don't care how specific the

allegations are he deserves nothing except prison time i fail to understand the logic i mean how absurd can american legal system be now the attorney representing trayvon martin's parents says that this lawsuit is reckless and unfounded. i have every confidence that this unfounded and direct this lawsuit will be revealed to will be to use another failed attempt to defend the indefensible and a shameless attempt to profit off the lives and grief of those 7 years on from the death and trayvon martin and the woes of the same on help for martin's family and from george zimmerman and us society also as loans that are sore and open the divide is getting wider. though the book you are with these ferocious nature us race relations this tasteless no surprise we all know that there have been

a virtual rain barrel in the black population and they are not released during the battle days the slavery well of. your thought party this reign of terror have been to compensate if this works. which is ripping the band-aid off over. is certainly infuriating the white population of florida where trayvon martin was slain it would not surprise me at all if there were massive process to drop in florida in coming days and weeks in the direct were far and i direct you so the criminal law i hope that the 3 month martin family are a very good 30 and wasn't that hopes that sooner rate the move. the

law. friday morning news this next their head of the international olympic committee has backed the findings of a world anti-doping agency panel over alleged attempted results in the moscow the burra trade database russia strongly denied the allegations and now a group of independent russian experts perform their own technical investigation we spoke to the head of that team who says there is no deliberate intention to hide or delete data such as must because it now we're being accused of performing public manipulations deleting some files and so on but of course there was a system administrator who enters this database and worked with it systems some duplicate files were deleted for technical reasons to maintain the memory i can assure you that there was no intention to delete data. so next week what is expected decide the fate of russia's own anti-doping agency and russian athletes to they no risk of being excluded from dissipating all international sporting events for the next 4

years but a coach never breaks down the ongoing doping saga than. a group of russian technical experts have conducted their own investigation and rejected claims that moscow manipulated athletes test results in a slow burra 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 our 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 states right as the doping scandal ask the latest russian expert say that they were the ones who tampered because they had admin rights it wasn't what the whistleblower i mean. this database and he could manipulate it in any way situation changed in 2016 when it

was revealed that such manipulations took place the russian agency was got it in 2016 with the new had of the department appointed but a problem seemingly still exists 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 russians in general this year now the group of experts believes that it is essentially wrong to compare these 2 coffees because of their different origins while the 29 team 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. which is 2016 there were 100 trees into this database from abroad this is also. there are questions about the

whistleblowers objectivity. he destroyed 1000. 417 samples however this database was taken as a reference 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 whatever has been either avoiding or even rejecting these attempts. russia did everything possible we strictly followed the roadmap developed by waters the executive committee we gave them the limb was database raw files and a be athletes samples i would strongly propose to participate in the investigation and provide information but it was all rejected russian experts explain why they think this happened. in this case we think that during its 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 a final decision on the case will be made on december the 9th in paris russia could now face a 4 year ban from the whole thing major sports competitions and clean athletes made to compete under troll flak. we are not insisting that absolutely all of our athletes stayed clean there is also a chance some of them adopt if you prove it about a specific athlete he will of course not go to the olympic games in this case it would be a fair sanction for a person is not broke one has rules but if you want to keep the whole country from participating in the olympic games for that you didn't really serious reasons we believe that in this case these reasons do not exist. it's been a rocky start for some u.s. presidential election campaigns with some runners already stumbling at the 1st hurdles but many seem to have everything it takes for the top job but still not

exactly clear what makes the perfect candidate will guarantee of reports. in this imperfect world of ours the who really grill is finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really try every 4 years in america elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate a smallish chink in there who we are than that our armor is enough to sink him or her and i really mean the smallest chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate polls he's a darling a mayor a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but then i see he went too far he helped the homeless participated in salvation army charity events

and that's a christian organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues are the only thing. is slow to grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the salvation army is homophobic hard to imagine a more succinct original metaphor for i will group who work for the act of destruction of my people if it makes me and i your tumor electable then british for their own people with an interest in thai queer salvation army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in he hasn't dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her crimes as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasn't black enough

skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a presidential candidate then you have. bernie sanders spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d.n.c. election rigged against him last time around but bernie just doesn't get it america doesn't want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just doesn't understand that if he $15.00 minimum wage will heard the job market and that there is no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernie's well you know principles and decency he's just ancient. novel good ideas. get on. much like former vice president and controller see magnate joe biden e's neck deep in just

the weirdest stuff begin getting really close and taking the nice sniff of people's hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot are sure he can remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of him to his memory isn't what it was then we have elizabeth warren who hasn't quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed it she tried to pass yourself off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made up bashing. no one it seems is good enough homosexual homophobe a black woman who isn't black enough an old man that's obsessed with helping the people that need help biden and his has to fit and seriously what the hell then

again perhaps people wouldn't need pics. so march if you know they had something else the talk about if these people had a plan beyond beating trump clear plan for america and americans but hey maybe not i mean seriously hair sniffing stuff. who cares if a reporter there immigrated delegate smily $200.00 countries have gathered for the 25th un climate change conference environmental activists created timberg will be attending a conference to this friday to spearhead the climate crisis movement. colonial

racist and petri arkell systems of oppression have created and fueled and people who are producing climate change the folks that are responsible for the largest amount of a mess and or communities are corporations they tend to be predominantly white white white.

it seems that every corner society is not getting the eco message and that was part of a new environmental loge by bishops conflicts begin to confess their sins against the environment where people madrid what they thought about divulging the eco sins that . conference about confessing to harming nature i think it doesn't have much value some people believe this is a religion and in some countries leaders believe in this i don't you're going to get i think it's crazy that somebody supports this now is becoming more important i do a lot of things to support him to get out of the catholic church wants to take part in this now when they have never done anything for climate change that said it but it was ok that i think that even the catholic church explained it to since it would be good because it's a form of pressure this is something that could help the movement a lot if i were a catholic i would confess my a sense yes but they let pointedly religion has never been about ecology or cared

about the planet it deals with personal life i don't see a reason to talk about something as an echo since. well this road of so far this morning from moscow says we're asked to social media to the world's parts coming up next another for me kevin or this friday morning of a great day records night betting on your part of the world wherever you are this is our. next geysers financial survival guide. customers go buy your stuff. then else well reducing lower. that's undercutting that what's good for markets it's back to the global economy. you know world's big part of

the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need. to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's a target for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

glow and welcome to worlds apart just as the canadians or the chileans have long drive to the united states appropriating the words america or american for itself so to have the russians about the european union calling itself and only itself europe or european as the e.u. like the us commerce to us what it is and what it stands for what does it mean for those sharing the continent pretty well to discuss that i'm now joined by photos of john the editor in chief of russian global affairs magazine and still can if it's good to talk to you again thank you very much for coming over think you were on but now earlier this year you published a very interesting article in one german magazine on the future of european integration and what's interesting about that article is that while the content was the same it had very different titles in russian and in english in russian it was the house construction is finished meaning the e.u. enlarged.
