instead of hiding him in russia. and ukraine ask apple to remove all russian media content from the app store in the country although there is some doubt as to whether the tank giant well comply with the request. you're watching r t international this saturday thanks for joining us for a live news update this hour. of us activists are back on the streets of french cities after a 6 month pause they were doing their protest against income equality and unpopular tax reforms and defying restrictions on large gatherings due to a spike in corona virus cases in the country most of the action is happening in paris where over 200 arrests have already been made today are to charlotte even ski joins us live now from paris and our charlotte tell us more about the situation in the french capital. well there have been tensions throughout the afternoon on

saturday in the french capital as protesters and police officers have being clashing at what is the renewed version of the yellow vests it was cooled by one of the de facto leaders jury rodrigue as he suggested he wanted civil disobedience and that is a sense of what we've had today with bottles and bricks or stones being thrown towards the police and they've been using tear gas to try and control the situation on the ground at one point just in the last hour the tear gas was so filling the air the people as they were trying to run away with it. into a crush and we saw that several people appeared to have been injured as a result of that you're him today speaking as to what he sees this new yellow vests movement is about. i'm here to talk about the yellow vests about people

who are suffering all these people here who are angry and tired of talking about all the brutality this rallies full of people who have something to say for small business owners for workers france. well we've been speaking to some of the people in the crowd trying to get a sense as to why they are supporting this yellow best movement a movement which started almost 2 years ago we saw back 282300000 people out in the streets that swiftly. and over the last few months we've seen very little action from the yellow vests and why are people back out in the streets today this is what they had to say. and what we're going to face a government which knows what's going on almost $10000000.00 below the poverty line . professions the response. we. denounce the dangerous use of tear gas by the police we do not ask for the gas

to be bound but at least precaution should be introduced and gas should not be used to such damaging long term effects for both the population and the forces that use it or only what we are here for the same reason as before because of the social issue we want to grant to listen to the people to restore our democracy we want the minimum wage to be increased. well as you can see there are varying reasons as to why people have come out to the streets and we've seen today the taste of things being thrown at the police the tear gas gives you a sense of the violence that the yellow vests has become has become synonymous with the violence of the scene people lose their. hands their parts of their legs their feet even a very violent movement on both stories not just the protesters but the police to let's take a look back now and get

a flavor of what's made the yellow vests protest so hawt. but one of the main criticisms is being over the el b.d.'s this is what the police used to disperse rubber bullets that was said to have caused to many of those gruesome injuries that we saw including to endure drinkers who lost his eye as a result of that now we've heard though is that the use of those l b d's will be more supervised in today's protests than feature protesters according to france's interior minister. the amount of

violence and injuries at rallies whether by police or citizens with doctrinal conditions of use of equipment will evolve in particular with flash cool natures which from 2 more will be supervised to build through the situation and does ignite the objective. it does feel as if the yellow vests have come back with a bang with thousands turning out on to the streets of the capital to support this movement a movement that many people thought was finished we know the rallies are taking place not just here in paris but also across france some of the rallies today in paris actually being forbidden those who rallies say on the show and areas like that there is a huge police presence mobilized across the city and i suspect it's like that in other cities where the protests are taking place we know that hundreds have been ready been arrested over some of those detained bags that was searched and with

containing things like screwdrivers and wrenches possibly something that could have been used to cause some of that civil disobedience that was cool for the moment though it seems the yellow vests back and they've taken over the streets in paris. are to charlotte urban ski reporting live from a rally in paris thank you. germany says it's accepted moscow's request to cooperate on a probe into the alleged poisoning of arctic sea and the ball me however state prosecutors warn that some information well only be shared with the consent of the russian opposition figure had prompted a fierce debate in the german parliament on friday our dispute all over has more. it was a fiery session on friday afternoon until evening here in berlin in the german bund the stock the majority of those who spoke or pointing a finger of blame directly at russia and the russian government for what they say was the poisoning of alexei no folly there were some voices that question the

official government line not many i have to say but there were some and. if the kremlin really regrets the assassination attempt on alex in the valley and really wants to clear things up why does novell need such a level of protection from our security services political murder is part of the putin system. now so not only are the russians supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let no one fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia it's absurd that north stream too was a big issue on the debate as well basically the german politicians splitting into 3 camps there are those that say it needs to be halted immediately and perhaps canceled altogether there are those that want to wait and see how russia reacts and

how this story develops and there are those saying that it's simply too important economically and it must remain purely an economic project no matter what else is going on we have those see heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany friday night in the bundestag north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the german government has repeatedly argued despite the war in syria despite the use of a chemical weapon in souls bury the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals are more important to us than climate protection security policy and human rights. demanding the immediate term a nation of north stream too is in my view a hasty and misguided reaction but it pleases those who have always opposed the project especially the greens well as germany continues to push russia for an explanation for what happened to alexei novelli the russian foreign minister sergei

lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but still use of your money of the german representative to the u.n. said the data is no longer a matter for bilateral relations between germany and russia but amounts for multilateral proceedings what kind of proceedings the germans are talking about they were unable to say. in the interests of our german colleagues we urge them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights one absolutely unfounded accusations investigators in russia of also being on the search for more information police in the city of tomsk which is where all x. in the valley had been he was flying from tomsk to moscow before his plane had to make an emergency landing in the city of school with the lexan of only in extreme distress well placed in tom skipping putting together a timeline of where he was in the lead up to him getting on that plane they've placements in the valley in a hotel in a restaurant in a flat and in

a coffee shop what they have also been going about doing is trying to interview those that were in close contact with aleck's in the valley during his time in the city of tomsk police there say they've been able to interview 5 of the 6 people that spent a lot of time with mr novelli they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany might even be after. successful marina picher one of those who was with me in permanently resides in the united kingdom on august 20 refused to give explanations according to the investigation on august 22nd of this year she flew to germany so it was not possible to get an explanation from her her location is currently being established there are still lots of facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexa in the funny books as we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up. not only emerge from

a medically induced coma this week with german doctors saying he now reacts to speech about the long term effects of his condition are unclear he was airlifted to berlin for treatment last month after falling ill on a flight from siberia to moscow the russian hospital that initially treated him said they found no sign of poisoning. ukraine has asked apple to ban all outs of russian media organizations and tech giant has informed moscow based networks about the requests but so far the apps are still up and running are just are among coaster reports. well a russian media has been censored in ukraine for years already and now we are getting this so-called involvement of apple as well as take it step by step on friday several media from 2 russian major state networks claimed that apple decided to take off their apps in ukraine and that was on requests from the

ukraine's security service now russian union of journalists as well as other colleagues are already calling this an act of censorship meanwhile apple themselves well they've made a statement a little bit later claiming that no apps have been deleted at this point and all they've done was just send notifications about this fact to the russian media and they suggested that russian media contact ukraine's security service there regularly now the list of networks who's apps or to be deleted is quite extensive and they claim that this is in line with the politics against russian media let's have a listen. ukrainian security service demanded the removal of n.t.v. ups from the ukrainian apple store colleagues who up will say nothing and propose we solve this problem with ukraine by all selves all this is part of the fight against russian media and social networks in ukraine it began on the pershing and

continues on the zelinsky russian parliamentarians as well as the country's journalists' union have already said that if the apps do get deleted they will explore legal action now censorship against russian media in ukraine began back in 24 scene after a referendum was held in crimea air where people have voted for a union with russia now several russian media and social networks have been as well have been deleted in ukraine since then and of course r.t. is also banned there so. we discuss the matter with journalist neil clark and daniel is our. of course it's censorship and of course it goes contrary to our freedom of speech the ukraine is are doing its best to create a special relationship with the united states and the u.s. 'd is responding and for whatever draw as those 2 countries closer together has

washington's approval so therefore one of the ukraine makes a request like this of apple apple really can't say no because it knows that the that washington wants it to could bribe it sets a very worrying president doesn't if you think about this thing if apple does yield this and it looks like it is going to then you could get any other security agency say in germany or belgium or anywhere else saying look we want you to take the apps down to this country and it's very paul very core of apple and they do lose credibility as if they'll continue simply to request the one country security services against another country so you know apple will lose out on this the same way facebook is going to lose out twitter is going to lose credibility over its branding policy of russian affiliated media these companies go make the call are they going to stand up to what they originally claimed to be about free speech and free information or are they going to buckle under political pressure as part of

geo political war so that all information was. u.k. is tightening its coronavirus restrictions due to a sharp increase in infections the world health organization special envoy on the pandemic told us further outbreaks are unavoidable there will be. defeated if well you get we do it by our it's like fish and basically where everything is going to do what every. 2 or 3 people and i are 8 usually. greater than what made it an even if you would about it would be fair to leave one with the virus but now i mean you're going to see outbreaks filling up. the number of positive cases per 1000 cove attacks in the u.k. has doubled since the end of july on friday the number of new daily confirmed infections rose to more than 350600 more than the previous day the total number of confirmed

cases in britain is now more than 360000 the special envoy again told us what options are available to contain the spread the only way really struck by notion why. when you no longer. will option the future durable social economic and if you're going. to appear. very strong independent if you are like you are you know if you know me grow if you cool it to where you know how to asian so that. we don't i. still had on our t.v. a previously little known feminist book and france receives a surprise publicity boost after a senior official calls for it to be banned i'll tell you why after this.

lead.

thanks guys are saying that. they see the girl a. lot of these are this is the central park support during the film is good club and right now it's a stop to. welcome back a previously a little known feminist book with a small print run has received a surprise publicity books and friends a very senior official called for it to be banned and advisor to the general quality ministry said the title i hate men went too far. this book is obviously an ode to misandry which is clear from the summary in the title i would like to remind you that incitement to hatred on the basis of gender is a criminal offense this man works for the secretary of state for gender equality

whose mission is to do something about sexual assault and rape it seems outrageous that she was more concerned about censoring a small feminist book than doing his job the book's publisher called claims of inciting hatred ridiculous the author a 25 year old activist from will says her work encourages female readers to take less account of the often unsupportive opinions of men and to rediscover the strength of female relationships the initial print run of i hate men was just $500.00 copies but after all the publicity more than 2000 books were sold and it's now out of stock we have people in paris what they thought of the title. we discuss the behavior at appearance of women every day and nobody even pays any attention so for once there is something directed at men and i guess we can deal with it and i think we should not stop at the touch of the book we have to go beyond that and read it and find out why she rolled that. what's behind it is. women i hate them i

could easily write a book like that because i have plenty of bad experiences in my love life have been left many times or had problems with my mother we really have to distinguish between what is literary what is an expression of a personal opinion. party founder katherine like walk an actress and author the banket share their opinions on the book and as it turned out they didn't see eye to eye. prisoners look in the provocation to pammy to a new way of thinking to deconstruct the tree arche it's more about. the idea of men and about some behaviors and for the consumption so short the story call for me to call with the provocation we can see differences and go for a hearing is a reflection and so 'd into freedom and on 0 human rights and the feminism and all that the idea that you should hate men most people should hate men i don't think

it's about the patriarchy and also said this through loading of men it is both natural and logical i mean this is a unbelievably extreme minority position the majority of women love men like men and their job to men like women i mean it is quite ironic when women have basically freedom and all sorts of see spears in this country and entranced compared to say a country like afghanistan or. in those countries women really are oppressed in the western countries you have radical feminists saying that they hate men and that everything is so terrible when in fact they've probably got it the best that they've ever had it and a lot of and you know men and women are just different and people have to accept that it's a very minority number of people who have this view about hating the opposite sex.

now we turn to some world news in brief police have used tear gas against asylum seekers protesting on the greek island of lesbos. as you can see crowds of migrants gathered to voice their anger over the rebuilding of the morea camp europe's biggest refugee camp burned down 4 days ago i'm former residents want to be located to other countries just. another march is now underway in the belorussian capital against president alexander lukashenko upon thousands of people almost all women are gathering in minsk and as you can see there have been some tense confrontations with police at the scene along with violent russ is the latest in a month long wave of unrest since the contested election which opposition supporters and the international community say was rigged.

and colombia has seen a 3rd consecutive night of rights against police brutality clashes with police have left at least 13 people dead and hundreds wounded broke out after a video was released showing a man being put into the ground and these are by police for allegedly violating social distancing rules he died later at the hospital the colombian government has officially apologized for the actions of police in that incident although about so far failed to quell the public anger. brazil's former president lula da silva has spoken exclusively to r.t. is going underground he spent 18 months behind bars on corruption and money laundering charges as well as discussing the accusations which he called politically motivated le spoke about the julian assange case and the need for reform at the u.n. . when you were in that jail cell did you not regret leaving those very elites in

power in your 2 terms as president and the self leaving them in power to prosecute you both my conscience. because my innocence has proven. what i want to prove their guilt in the crimes they committed against brazil the killer with the beginning of a new attitude and result in my opinion it was organized by the u.s. department of justice the u.s. never accepted the fact that brazil did become an international player. all those who believe in justice. cannot let a son to be extradited. should receive the nobel prize for having exposed the cia's frauds to the whole planet the fraudster the us department of state spying on the world the government spectrographs brazil germany it is not the role of a democratic country to spy on its partners and of sandra's brave enough to expose

this. or the un needs to change its role. back there today's un cannot be the same as it was in 1998 we need to have african countries in the un security council we need latin american athletes in the security council. and countries like india. it cannot be the same $5000.00 trees as a $948.00. as there are breakdown of the day's top headlines for now for more details on all those stories head to our website r.t. dot com. i did want to listen we all want to have love. probably have stepped back

seems have to be acceptable to the population before they are rolled out in a society because then walks acceptable there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system as. and i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a vaccine rapidly. because of the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability or somehow a new growth or. a new gold rush is underway in ghana thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich is a good. as they are by those that work children are torn between galled. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side

will have the strongest appeal. i'm after tanzania watching a very special episode of going underground of corona virus is a symptom of animal transmitted pandemics caused by deforestation the amazon rain forest is not only the lungs of the earth which will determine climate driven human extinction but it will decide the future of killer viruses before the earth burns one nation holds more rain forest than any other and today we speak to its former president jailed for nearly 2 years after an alleged u.s. backed show trial after leaving office and 2010 he was later convicted on charges of corruption which saw him in prison for 580 days over the so-called operation car wash the largest corruption probe in the nation's history that discovered vast

contracts for kickbacks involving the ruling elite his imprisonment arguably catalyze the election of hire while scenario as president of that in america's largest country brazil's most popular politician louis thing i feel a little of the silver brought tens of millions of his people out of poverty and into education as president he joins me now from the 4th most populous city in the world south paolo former president lula thank you being on going underground what a journey you've been on 1st why are you accusing your successor airballs that r o of genocide. so we see for a very simple reason our president did not take care of brazil and of the brazilian people as he should have done. this pandemic did not reach brazil without prior notice but. we already had the experience of what was going on you know the countries around the world and the president should have simply done the obvious.

only what common sense teaches us to do. the president since he doesn't know about anything except weapons and violence. should have set up a technical committee with experts and scientists. he should have gathered all state governors as well as mez and established a crisis committee to guide brazilian society. to participate in the process of mitigating the in parts of the pandemic in brazil he did not do this he decried the pandemic he said that people should not wear masks he prescribed a drug called chloroquine to the population. without any scientific basis and to this date he continues to vulgarize death because effectively he does not believe in science.
