in dramatic scenes the french president is rushed out of a paris there sound or a hail of boos is furious protesters chanting mcclung resign tried to confront. a russian computer programmer arrested in greece said washington's request pleas for help came in he's being tortured and denied his basic rights. and russian locks of 77 years since the end of the siege of leningrad to one of world war 2 his most appalling humanitarian disaster.

very well welcome you are watching aussie international with me in the. first of paris where hundreds of gathered for the latest protest against the government's pension reform plans and some parts of the french capital clashes erupted between police and demonstrators. was joined by public transport workers as bill chaos in the french capital for almost 2 months now despite the government's promise to compromise agreeing to drop some of the most controversial aspects of its reforms the french parliament is due to debate the pension bill next month. as a democrat on under huge pressure over the controversial reform on friday night he was booed as he left the paris this it was people chanting mcclung resign from demonstrators against pension reforms called pulse police into the hall to deliver

that angry message. was a. protest is followed macross his motorcade as it tried to speed away the president was reportedly with his wife regime to know where no call is scolded by police motorbikes to molest on political activists. notice to notice what's wrong in the theatre and film tim saying that the evening might be eventful well after that he was arrested for being part of a group formed with the purpose of committing acts of violence his arrest has sparked outrage. meanwhile more than $100.00 protesters in the french capital blocks the entrance to the iconic museum people have joined union calls to demand

the complete withdrawal of the bronze proposals but there are mixed public feelings about the protests. from i could you know i'm happy that they're defending culture i left at 7 in the morning from additional on where i'm from to see the an artist eventually exhibit but it's not a big deal because if they do not strike there won't really be a lot for as we know it so i don't mind the strike i'm actually happy i supported the. cops. if someone would lend my hand i'm ready to break through the picket line because this situation is unacceptable i don't care about their pension issues . they are uniting and supporting each other reinforcing each other so that's why i'm here also call we are against it they should not be here. should be directed at the government who wants a full pension reform project through we are not the ones that are standing in the

way we're not blocking the public cultural service on the contrary we're fighting for a strong public cultural service when you look at the support of the population of the strikers we're very surprised to see the government maintaining its position is of extremism that is unacceptable for democrats like me who voted for your macro in the 2nd round of the presidential election against. a russian programmer arrested on washington's request was all parties are resorting to torture an effort to break him and exams a vinick is being held in greece on u.s. cyber crime and money laundering charges he's now written a plea for help. they're trying to use torture and psychological pressure to break me they do not allow me to breathe fresh air the last time they let me out for a walk for a few minutes was on new year's eve i'm a man without rights illegally imprisoned in greece for 30 months without charges

they want to destroy me for my knowledge they want my head on a block just because of what i know and my technological abilities the case of alexander vinick is a case of blatant violations of human rights it's an international disgrace this man is been imprisoned for 13 months without a charge in greece he's not being prosecuted in greece without a sanction without a penalty without a trial alexander is not a criminal alexander is someone who has extremely high skills technological skills in blocked chain technology he has not targeted for any kind of criminal behavior because it's very clear that what he has done is not criminal however what he has done is very very annoying to those who wish to control the economic. exchanges of the people what is worse is that

during the last days the conditions of detention of alexander make amount to cruel and inhuman treatment which is a form of torture as we all know alexander is being denied the right to go outside his. hospital room he's been hospitalized during the last 12 months more than 12 months actually and today his mother who came to visit him from russia was the 9 the right to see her son. but when it was arrested in 2017 the u.s. accuses him of laundering billions of dollars through a digital. currency exchange they also want to buy france which claims they make carried out slug of fraud from his prison cell to russia also wants to question him athens hours already approved his extradition to all 3 countries however the russians acting foreign minister has criticized prestigious warning that greece has

completely failed to examine the evidence presented to moscow and another lawyer for the nicht in the famous art of told us why he should be extradited to russia. greece has not only decided to extradite alexander simultaneously to 3 countries but has also specified the order by which alexander should go to these countries the point is that the extradition of alexander to the united states cannot be fair as he has never been there and hasn't committed the crimes that the usa attributes to him work with new technologies cannot be a crime especially if at the time of the activity the legislation regulating these actions simply did not exist concerning france they used only american evidence and investigators have never concealed it but today we know that france is not going to conduct any prosecution against him on its territory so the decision about the

extradition of alexander vinick to france and then to the united states is purely technical the so-called greek trick is this to send him to france where he's going to be rejected and then sent him to the usa. the best ending for both alexander vinick and for every other party to this case will be of course his extradition to russia because russia is the place of the alleged crimes and because russia has all the information it is capable of creating joint inquiry commissions for conducting an investigation in any field. 77 years ago today the red army broke the nazi siege of leningrad but the blockade ending a year later the vast majority of victims in the city died not from bombing but from hunger and hypothermia while then inquired may have changed its name to some pages burke the horrific memories still randy.

was. yes when it was over me and my friend went to a store with food stamps there was a huge field and suddenly we saw a plane it dropped a bomb we were taught that if we see a bomb flying towards us you have to run in the direction of the bomb because that way it will pass over you but we ran away we got away and kept walking suddenly i realized i'd left her behind she walked towards a fence i came up to check on her realized she was hanging on the fence already dead my friend what could i do i was barely alive myself some people helped me carry her home a good thing we weren't too far away from home because we're. tied up and you know when my father died of hunger and we were going to bury him the

weather was extremely cold it was about minus 36 or 38 degrees we owed thanks to our neighbor who constructed the casket for him and helped us to carry my father to the cemetery and the cemetery there was a chapel next to the chapel there was a pile of dead bodies higher than the chapel itself and every time i come to that place i still can see this pile of dead bodies in my head i still have this picture in my head. was. already after i buried my father i signed up as a nurse at the military field hospital once in january i came home from the hospital and my mother was lying on the bed hall for life but she said to me zoya i think i'm about to pass away i bought meat patties at the market and i think they're made out of human don't leave the girls alone don't marry to. young and don't cut your hair short after an hour she died.

she was that good very well they always said the russians will win our pilot course was shot down i remember they carried him in sheets she was all brown his skin was brown from bruising and we prepared a warm bath for him with medicine they lowered him into it and he exclaimed please save me i have to keep flying i have to keep fighting. through war during the war many lives the city was saved by the simple text of a metronome. did you. did.

the metronome followed by sirens were broadcast on 1500 speakers throughout leningrad as slow beats many were treats while a fall swan warns german bombers while on their way it became a symbol of resistance to the nazi air raids into attempts to stop people to death by way of a national reports from the northern capital. leningrad known today as st petersburg was a main strategic targets for nazi germany and the fates they prepared for this beautiful city was still laid to waste by bohrman it and also started its almost 3000000 population to death the horror of the siege was how desperate came routine when you walk down the street when you remember it or rather try to forget you come across dead bodies carried on sledders all the time or dead bodies lying on the streets

and at some point those a lawyer they simply stop paying any attention to these horrific sights the appearance reads i remember the 1st time i saw a corpse on the street wrapped in some rags at 1st it was scary but then people got used to it and just walked by i can see the bodies were just randomly dumped in the street eventually they took them away. from kids their childhood was stolen by merciless war bombs and hunger there was already too much for them there was something maybe even more terrifying as lack of food became too dramatic children as well as many adults often became a target not for enough to germany for hungry people so the worst thing was the hunger it was unimaginable. at the factory they gave us just 200 grams of bread it was made from strange ingredients some a drop in the cabbage others burnt sugar i don't know how i survived and i think

god saved my life more. people saw gold but even less so couldn't bear it any more the water supply system froze and collaged people hungry people freezing people they now became 1st 2 people searching for war to everywhere including sewerage system. we went to get water on food with us ledges it was very cold there was a severe frost the river had frozen over with there was a hole and people were queuing to get water to drink and people still wonder how we didn't die drinking this water the city as it was during jury shelling this side of the street is the most dangerous says this sign one of many similar across the city these warnings became a symbol of the dangers faced by residents of let it grow during the siege and still today they stay as silent reminders of those terrible days but i'm

a person who has also been taking part in commemoration events laid flowers at the long monk stone monument to the nest the morial side it was the scene of fierce fighting during the 2nd world war and it's believed the russian president's father was also injured. still to come the questions like where are you really from could now and you're in trouble that a u.k. university which is paying students to snitch on classmates deemed to commit racist microaggression this story and plenty more coming up after this special way. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic development only

mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. descriptions sound up to tasing even for the owners so how to choose just pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want soundness than was necessarily good for the pet turns out it may not be. people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders the cat allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of toms all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats

the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. just one magic bullet you could actually come up with some of the top of these baby talk about ways we get access to capital and capitalism cavil's important so we could actually have programs that actually help folks who want to do that but when you give everybody a $1000.00 i'm a poor person i'm going to consume that and then you're rich you're going to invest that equity the wealth the spirit is going to grow because you're not using your money to do good so you're literally buying more crazy things and then my landlord knowing that i got a $1000.00 and you just go raise my ribs so then you get your flesh and go all in there.

welcome back take a look at some news in brief from around the world now. the to. tear gas and rubber bullets flew towards angry protesters in beirut lebanon on friday at least $165.00 people were injured as police broke up the crowds demonstrators are in their 3rd months of protests demanding economic reforms and early elections the prime minister had been expected to announce a new 18 member cabinet on friday but failed to do so. and was of trying to have packed on to the streets of berlin farmers along with eco activists are protesting against the agricultural policies of both germany and the e.u. the demonstrators accuse the german government of prioritizing large scale farming

at the expense of climate friendly organic methods the tractor fleet descended on berlin from a number of regions throughout the country. efforts are underway to rescue animal survivors of the bushfires that have ravaged south australia's kangaroo island the island as we're now in for its relatively untouched nature and is home to endangered species and others only found on the islands but experts fear that the bushfires which have so far birds one 3rd of the islands may have wiped out some of the animals entirely. stop making everything a race issue comments like that could not get you in hot water at a u.k. university which will pay students to snitch on people making what it calls racist might. aggressions sheffield university in northern england will hire 20 students as race equality champions and pay them more than $9.00 pounds an hour to investigate offenders other examples of unacceptable questions are why are you

searching for things to be offended about and where are you really from when we asked people for their reaction to the move. sometimes like you do you don't realise that you're like maybe being mean with someone and you don't even realise and i think it's important to tell them about it people often ask. what if so if i say for example based. on. a lot of people stop you know your talent your know your terrorist blah blah blah i do you know where you're from because i know that i have a little accent and there was a arm so sorry and i know why are you apologizing because i didn't take a i was like a bad thing i think is an air of ignorance really. just not really being aware that someone might be offended by subway however there's been a significant online backlash to the university's initiative the regime of the

shuttled university have decided to police incidents of perceived rudeness with an army of my group gresham to talk to. police jobs at the university of sheffield how is this not illegal what the hell have i just read the you also prevent terrorism in benign curiosity as micro question and therefore as racist this is a recipe to create a climate of distrust and breakdown of social relations these people do not speak for me. the university claims its main objectives are to facilitate healthy open discussion and give students the tools to think critically about race issues it is like her aggressions have a real impact on minority groups well talk radio host and columnist john gordon feels the program could end up doing more harm than good. we need to obviously condemn racism but recruiting students to do it like as if they're under cover are think it's horrible i think it's the sin and of

a very very big wedge and also will be very concerned about who did. what is not allowed to be said is another attack on freedom of speech and universities should be cathedrals of free speech these kids eventually are going to go out into the real world if they work in a factory if they work in an office they're going to hear the news they don't like . it's about challenging that of course and i just think this is not going to prepare them for the real world and tackle racism tackle six's track or massaging and tackle homophobia of course and make sure your institution is inclusive but this is not the way to do it this is a orator great step this huge of some idiotic academic who's never lived in the real world themselves you need to get a life and get out of students' lives. but german foreign office has apologized after inappropriately trying to tap into the viral hash tag so do some one in 4

words government institutions around the world are trying their hand at humor and the latest twitter craze but for many years is that it's not exactly love at 1st sight. that. happened at. your he said god it proved. that. when i had barely graduated from underground i was offered an internship at the un in bonn germany after an extensive visa application process delays and uncertainty i was informed 2 days prior to the beginning of my internship that my visa application was rejected dunker this is not funny playing

on people's feelings is inappropriate there are thousands of people waiting for their visas that's simply the real face of you guys period. acting out and being funny is apparently not always so strong we deleted it we below and apologize to all who were offended by this we know to be surprises complex and these are decisions can deep effect people's life's alcoholics take the decisions very seriously. you shouldn't apologize the joke is actually good good now i am offended that you deleted that wheat because apparently offended someone with no sense of humor of this league. well we love to hear your thoughts on our stories they do get in touch by following us on social media and even your comments that we're back at the top of the alcs

either. you are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi else asked i'm aware of it. reject all you like. you can never forget we're going now auschwitz was really like to be inhaled because you would never believe it once again though to as a hobby of course for 32 years of milk and the cover of it it all seems a lot offered by the side to make it to work when i get out on the farm saw you i want to take my song to their next meal so he can listen in the hope for the bless

my heart hurts. from a loss leader the source of why is no good he the slime view or from you the couple of us have you studied for a while what. you see in the film was not the best person for the most good moment in. the room believe me you must. go oh my dear boy. you know insane when you don't there is. no one. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills

a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in meaning messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court b b b b. shot after shot as far off society we feel. we don't know children just brutal. the end of this trial unfortunately due to the will still not know all children. wisdom is the application of practical knowledge in

a group where you have waves in novel concept but if you learn a particular scenario could be in a class could be brilliant and you encounter that exact same scenario knowing what to do is just memory that's not wisdom that's not learning it's just memorizing some wisdom comes when you are facing a brain new context and you can draw upon tools to learn other contexts systematically to know what to do. with. the amount. are times you were going underground is reapproach 9 years since a britain in the united states use their half or says to destroy africa's richest
