but look. into matic scenes the french president is rushed to the paris theater under a hail of bruises furious protesters chanting mccrone resign trying to confront him . a russian computer programmer arrested in greece at washington's request pleas for help claiming he's been tortured and denied his basic rights. and russia mark 77 years since the end of the siege of leningrad one of world war 2 his most appalling humanitarian disaster is.

from moscow where it's just past 2 in the morning you're watching ossie international welcome to the program. paris 100 scabbard on saturday for the latest protest against the government's pension reform plans in some parts of the french capital clashes erupted between police and demonstrators. i. was a strike by public transport workers has brought us to the french capital for almost 2 months now alas 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. president emanuel mccrone is under huge pressure over the controversial reform on friday night he was booed as he left the paris theater with people chanting mccrone resign some demonstrators against

micron's pension reforms go paul's police into the hole to deliver the angry message. was. the was the was. a protest as it followed macross motorcade as it tried to speed away the president was reportedly with his wife bridgette in a rental car scolded by police motorbikes journalist and political activist who noticed a marker on in the theater and film to him saying that the evening may be eventful 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 protesters in the french capital block the entrance to the iconic museum people who joined you new calls to demand the

complete withdrawal of macross proposals but there are mixed public feelings about the protests. and the filmmaker to whom i'm happy that they're defending culture i left at 7 in the morning from dish on where i'm from to see the an artist of intrigue submission but it's not a big deal because if they do not strike there won't really be a loser as we'll. so i don't mind the strike i'm actually happy i supported them. if someone would lend me a hand i'm ready to break through the picket line because this situation is unacceptable i don't care about their pension issues destroying these they're uniting and supporting each other reinforcing each other so that's why i'm here please also call we are against it they should not be here. should be directed at the government who wants to force the pension reform project through we're 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 where 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 a democrat like me who voted for manual macro in the 2nd round of the presidential election against. a russian programmer arrested on washington's request one's off for a t's are resorting to torture in an effort to break him alexander vinick is being held in greece on u.s. cyber crime and money laundering charges and 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 night of the right to see her son. vinick was arrested in 2017 the u.s. accuses him of laundering billions of dollars through do. to current 6 change he's also wanted by france which claims when it carried out cyber fall from his prison cell and russia wants to question him as well well athens has already approved his extradition to all 3 countries however russians for acting foreign minister has criticized procedures warning that greece has completely failed to examine the

evidence presented by moscow and another lawyer for vinnick to famous it off told us why he should be extradited to russia. and greece has not only decided to extradite alexander's simultaneously to 3 countries but has also specify 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 is specially 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 just sent 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. now 77 years ago today the red army broke the nazi siege of leningrad with the blockade ending a year later the vast majority of victims in the city died not from bombing but from hunger and hypothermia while learning rad may have changed its name st petersburg the horrific memories still went deeper. was.

i was when i was me and my friend went to school with food stamps there was a huge field and suddenly we saw a plane it dropped a bomb we were told that if we see a bomb throwing towards us you have to run in the direction of the ball because that way it will pass over you but who ran away but got away and kept walking suddenly i realized i had left her behind she walked towards a fence i came up to check up on her and realize she was hanging on the fence already dead my friend how could i say i was barely alive myself some people helped me carry her home he seen her warranty far away from her i. i. i. i knew. 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 decrease without sayings to our neighbor

who constructed the casket from him and helped us to carry my father to the cemetery and the century 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't see this pile of dead bodies in my head i still have this picture in my had. i. got. after i buried my father i signed up as a nurse in the military field hospital once in january i came home from the hospital and my mother was lying on the bed half life she said to me zoya i think i'm a bass apostle way i bought me patti said the market i sing they're made out of the human don't leave the girls alone don't marry too young and don't cut issue. after an hour she died there you go on. sat that.

you were going to go the real way sad that the russians who were in our pilot course were shocked and i remember they carried him and she said he was all brown and we prepared a warm bath for her with mats and they lowered him into it and he exclaimed really save me i have to keep flying i have to keep fighting i'll fight is where they're patriotic why did they attack us what did we do to them or york when during the war many lives in the city were saved by the simple ticks of a metronome. did you. did. the metronome followed by sirens were broadcast on 1500 speakers throughout

leningrad a slow beat meant to treat while the fast one room german bombers were on their way it became a symbol of resistance to the nazi air raids and 2 attempts to stop people to death burial for 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 8 and also starred in its almost 3000000 population to death the horror of the siege was hollow desk became routine when you walk down the street many 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 law 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 wrongs 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 for enough to germany for hungry people so the worst thing was the hunger it was. imaginable at the factory they gave us just 200 grams of bread it was made from strange ingredients some a drop in the cabbage others burned sugar i don't know how i survived and i think god saved my life of more. people struggled but even less so couldn't bear it

anymore the water supply system froze and collaged people hungry people freezing people they now became the 1st 2 people searching for war to everywhere including sewerage system. we went to get water on food with sledges 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 people still wonder how we didn't die drinking this water the citizens during tillery 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 dangers faced by residents of letting go during the siege and still today they stay as silent reminders of those terrible days a lot of my peers and has also been taking part in commemoration of events he laid flowers of a landmark stone monument to the nearest keep yet to choke memory murrell site it

troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. america's build a prison called the world in it's the prison it's the right it runs the prison and the cost of building that prison is 0 because it's all based on everyone in the world is still willing to accept dollars trade in dollars clear through the new york fed and worship the u.s. dollar wherever you go you'll find a.t.m.'s and countries where as the local currency and dollars right dollar is god no matter what religion you say you are around the world the fact is you pray to the us dollar every day. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida know the mother daughter is buried in

a cemetery meaning this is 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. shot shot as far as i feel. we don't know she'll just run. and do this or we. will still not. sure just. let's take a look at some news in brief from around the world now. tear

and endangered species experts fear the bushfires which have so far one 3rd of the island may have wiped out some of the animals entirely. stop making everything a race issue comments like that can now get you into hot water a t u k university which will pay students to snitch on people making what he calls racist micro 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 on the acceptable questions are why are you searching for things to be offended about and where are you really from we asked people for their reaction to this 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 like you've all of us got say what what if on so if i say for example they say i'm

a grocer was it mark on. a lot of people stopping you know your talent your dog or terrorist bob a lot i do get asked like oh where you're from because i know that i have a little accent and there was a are so sorry and i know why are you apologizing because i don't take a i was like a bad thing i think it is an air of ignorance really. i just not really being aware that someone might be offended by subway however there has been 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 made student my group russian detective thought police jobs at the university of sheffield how is this not illegal what the hell have i just read he also prevent terrorism in benign curiosity as my trade 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. well the university claims its main objectives are to facilitate healthy

open discussions and give students the tools to think critically about race issues and says microaggression have a real impact on minority groups talk radio host and columnist john gone feels the program could end up doing more harm than good. we need to obviously condemn the racism but recruiting students to do it like as if they're undercover 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 does so each what is not allowed to be said is another attack on freedom of speech and universities should be cathedrals or free speech these kids eventually going to go out into the real world even if they work in a factory if they were killing off is 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 6 has tackled the soldiery

and tackle homophobia of course and make sure your institution is inclusive but this is not the way to do it this is a retrograde step this huge of some idiotic their academic who's never lived in the real world themselves you need to get a life and get out of students' lives. now the german foreign office has apologised after inappropriately trying to tap into the viral hash tag seduce someone in 4 words government it is institutions around the world are trying their hand at humor in this latest twitter craze but for many is this their efforts aren't exactly love site. x. x. . x. .
