it was. nothing. but. a dramatic scenes the french president is rushed out of a paris there to under a hail of boos furious protesters chanting mccrone resign trying to confront him. with. a russian computer program arrested in greece at washington's request pleas for help claiming he's been tortured and denied his basic rights. and russia marks 77 years since the end of the siege of leningrad one of world war 2 his most appalling humanitarian disaster this.

knife from moscow where is just past 4 in the morning you're watching all the international welcome to the program. in paris hundreds gathered 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. the was. a strike by public transport workers has caused chaos to the french capital for almost 2 months now and that 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 didn't do that debate the pension bill next month. the president emanuel mccrone is on the huge pressure over the controversial reform on friday night he was booed as he left to paris there were people chanting mccrone resign some demonstrators against macross pension reforms go past police into the

hall to deliver the angry message. was. was the was the was the. protest is a full of across motorcade as it tried to speed away the president was reportedly with his wife bridget in a rental car schoolchild by police motorbikes journalist and political activists who have snow to stomach on in the theater and film tim 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 and his arrest has sparked outrage meanwhile more than 100 protesters in the french capital blocked the entrance to the iconic blue for museum people have joined union coast to demand the complete withdrawal of across 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 . but it's not a big deal because if they do not strike there won't really be a liver as we know it 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. they are uniting and supporting each other reinforcing each other so that's why i'm here also called we are against it they should not be here. but this should be directed at the government who wants to force its 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 were 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 a program arrested on washington's request warns of dorothy's or 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 has 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 and greece has not been 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 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 didn't 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. e 17 the u.s. accuses him of laundering billions of dollars through digital currency exchange he's also wanted by france which claims when it carried out cyber ford from his prison cell in russia wants to question him as well athens has already approved his extradition to all 3 countries however russia's 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

a famous sort of told us why he should be extradited to russia. i 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. is 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 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 leningrad may have changed its name to st petersburg her memory still run deep. i asked.

us where it 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 bomb 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 over the debt my friend how could i say i was barely alive myself some people helped me carry her home p.c. whom warranty far away from her eye. socket 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 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 see this pile of dead bodies in my head i still have this picture in my had. that i knew of 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 back half life she said to me zoya i think i'm a bad to pass away 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.

very real way sad at the russians who in our pilot course was shocked and i remember they carried him and she said he was all around you and we prepared a warm bath for iraq mattson they lowered him into it and he exclaimed please save me i have to keep flying i have to keep fighting our fight is where that patriotic why did they attack us what did we do to them or well during the war many lives in the city were saved by the simple ticks of a metronome. did . they do. the metronome followed by sirens were broadcast on 1500 speakers throughout

leningrad a slow beat meant to retreat while a fast one born to 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 or if an ocean of 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 how death became routine when you walk down the street and then you remember it or rather try to forget you come across dead bodies carried on sledges all the time or dead bodies lying on the streets and at some point those the law they simply stop paying any attention to these horrific sights. redo and 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 streets eventually they took them away putting. kids their childhood was stolen by a 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. 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. people saw gold but even that's all i couldn't bear it anymore the water supply system froze and khiladi. people hungry people freezing people

they now * became 1st soupy people searching for war to everywhere including sewerage system. we went to get water on food with a sledge as it was very cold there was a severe frost the river had frozen over but 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 city as it was during the pillory 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 residential living god during the siege and still today they stay as silent reminders of those terrible days of loved him a person has also been taking part in commemoration of ben's he laid flowers in the landmark stone monuments at the news keep its choke memory moral size it was the

scene of fierce fines injuring world war 2 and it's believed the russian president's fall that was also injured. the. questions like where you really from could not land you in trouble as a u.k. university which is paying students to snitch on classmates deemed to commit racist microaggression we'll have that story and more after this short break. good food descriptions sound up the even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us then what's necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes

in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets 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. 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 often this very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

the world is driven by shaped by our own person or those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. let's take a look at some news in brief from around the world. the oak

. tear gas and rubber bullets flew towards angry protesters in beirut in lebanon on friday at least $165.00 people were injured as police broke up crowds and demonstrators are in their 3rd month of protests demanding economic reforms and early elections there the prime minister had been expected to announce a new 18 member capital friday but failed to do so. hundreds of practice have packed onto 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 tract of fleet descended on berlin from a number of regions throughout the country. that saw on the way to rescue animal survivors of the bushfires that have ravaged south australia's kangaroo island the

island is renowned for its relatively untouched nature and is home to many unique and endangered species experts fear the bushfires which have so far bird one 3rd of the island may have wiped out some of the animals entirely. stop making everything a race issue comments like that could now get you into hot water as a u.k. university which will pay students to snitch on people making what it calls racist micro aggressions sheffield university in northern england 120 students as race equality champions and pay the more than 9 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 you really from we asked people for their reactions to the move. sometimes a you do you don't realise that your leg may be being mean with selwyn and you don't even. and i think it's important to tell about it people often

ask. what their form. for example based. on. a lot of people stopping you know your talent your dog your terrorist bob a lot i do you get all where you're from because i know that i have a little accent and there was a oh i'm so sorry and i know why you apologizing because i don't take it as like a bad thing i think it is an air of ignorance really. just not really being aware that someone might be offended by something. however there has 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 made student my group gresham detractors 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 discussion and to give students the tools to think critically about race issues it says micro aggressions have a real impact on minority groups talk radio host and columnist john gong both 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 eats 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 director a great step this is just some idiotic academic who's never lived in the real world themselves who needs to get a life and get out of students' lives. now the german foreign office has apologized after in appropriately trying to tap into the vile hash tag suggest someone in 4 words government institutions around the world are trying their hand at humor in the latest torture craze but for many years as their efforts aren't exactly love 1st sight.

in. fact act. your they said god approved. 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 both know

and apologized to all who were offended by this we know that the surprise is complex and these are decisions can deep effect people's lifes alcoholics take the decisions very seriously. you shouldn't apologize the joke is actually good for good now i am offended that you deleted that wheat because apparently offended someone with no sense of humor obviously. well do you approve of that visa wisecrack let us know and also show me their pages on twitter and facebook that's your update for now will be back at the top of the hour with more news from around the world will see that. you know world of big partisan group a 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 on the bad 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 washing clothes for watching the hawks. wisdom is the application of the cold knowledge in a rope or your ways in novel cotton but if you learn a particular scenario being a class could be a variance 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 then you can draw upon tools to learn in other contexts

systematically to know what to do. with. the. descriptions sound up to tell using 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 to sound us than what's the. it's certainly good for the path turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets last treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the

value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. when i came out from this sale i really could not even feel happy ever and sometime soon people were joking about something i would catch myself if i was even electing i feel guilty. and it's very probably do too cool for a normal person to get a spin understand you live with that all your life i want to punt and we will live with it we did not receive help like now when our boys are coming from the wars in then finally they need to mend you know for the how do you call it depression when we didn't have to tow. the big things were all the time we go on. and. they would take off you

know where you are but never your wedding and sometimes i would you know do it diffident way. to go sometimes to a dead. end very good hour auschwitz your living. every moment. with fear. it was really like giving. and i went to a terrible to begin i want to. be doing because says woman was reading is all strong the 2 front teeth knocked out. doors to between cause. we were making some break in each great had to be tested to keep it strong enough because this was going to grab the

bombs. you see. the gentleman. the one day. the main assessment from our streets. and he started to. break. he called me. i was pushing away pushing away and there was no way for me to escape. and he was beating me. he was wearing heavy boots. and yours bidding me up from top to bottom. when they left i was all below the. blog was grown gushing from all over i really don't know how i make did this was my worst beating. and the girls couldn't believe it and.

people don't know when they look at you and the really insights left you it's left a scar abetted. and you never knew when it will hit you and still i was managing. what is inside to me. you know in the wish for anybody to to understand what's happening you don't know what way. and you are there. and it's takes a long time until you get out of it. and this is a 1st time i'm talking about. it.
