arctic feels like a story to get a look up there that clouds here gas as people are now trying to move away from that just give you a stay still what's happening on the ground. the . protesters and police officers have being clashing at what is the real new just a version of the yellow vests it was cooled by one of the de facto leaders jury rodrigue as he suggested he wanted civil disobedience. i am 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 full of workers france and over the last few months we've seen very little action from the yellow vests so why are people

back at the streets today this is what they had to say. we face a government which knows what's going on almost $10000000.00 below the poverty line a social anger affecting all professions and was the response less powerful flash launches what will that bring in the north we denounce the dangerous use of tear gas by the police we did not ask for the gas to be banned but at least precautions should be introduced and gas should not be used to such damaging long term effects for both the population and the forces the east it. what we are here for the same reason as before because of the social issue we want the ground to listen to the people to restore our democracy we want the minimum wage to be increased what we've seen today the taste of things being thrown at the police the tier gas gives you a sense of the violence that the yellow vests become synonymous with a very violent movement on both stories not just the protests. 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. one of the main criticisms is being over the l. b.d.'s this is what the police used to disperse rubber bullets what we've heard though is that the use of those l b d's will be supervised in today's protests and featured protesters according to france's interior minister. we must cut the amount of violence and injuries the rallies whether by police or citizens with doctrinal conditions of use of equipment will evolve in particular with flash. which from 2 more will be super voice to both

through the situation and designate the objective 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 are rallies say on the show and areas like that there is a huge police presence mobilized across the city and we know that hundreds have already been arrested over some of those detained bags that was searched and we 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 are back and they've taken over the streets in paris. ukraine has asked apple to block all apps belonging to russian media organizations the tech giant has informed moscow base that works about the request but so far no action has been taken russia's foreign ministry condemned the move accusing ukraine of clamping down on free speech. this is

another oppressive action by the ukrainian authorities against the media through this act of censorship key if it cynically violating a key democratic principle the freedom to distribute information while our 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 now friday several media from su 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 through the russian media and they suggested that russian media contact ukraine's security service there regularly now the list of networks has 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. the ukrainian security service demanded the removal of n.t.v. apps from the ukrainian app store our colleagues from apple say nothing and propose we solve this problem with ukraine by ourselves all this is part of the fight against russian media and social networks in ukraine it began under poroshenko and continues under a zelinsky now russian parliamentarian's 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 that cray me 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 analysts are. of course that it's censorship and of course it goes contrary to a freedom of speech the ukraine is that doing its best to create a special relationship with united states and the us 'd is responding and for so whatever draws 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 'd to comply it sets a very worrying president doesn't if you think about this then 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 anywhere else saying look we want you to take the apps down to this country and it's very poor very poor of apple and they still lose credibility as if they are going to yield 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 which is free speech and free information or are they going to buckle under political pressure as part of your political war so go information was. germany says it's accepted moscow's request to cooperate on a probe into the alleged poisoning of an exam bali however state prosecutors warn that some information will only be shared with the consent of the russian opposition figure issue prompted

a fierce debate in german parliament on friday artist peter oliver has the details . 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 questioned the official government line not many i have to say but there were some. 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. so not only are the russians supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but they put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let an avanti fly out to germany instead of hiding him

in russia it's absurd nord stream too was a big issue on the during 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 and on friday night in the bundestag north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the german government has repeatedly argued it is by the war in syria just by the use of a chemical weapon insults 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 2 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 it's the use of your money the german representative to the un 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 urged 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 how 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 mist in the valley they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany might be a feature. of success marina pitcher 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 in stablished there are still lots of facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexa in the valley but 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 doctor saying he now reacts to speech although 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 as well that initially treated him said they found no sign of poisoning. the u.k. is tightening its coronavirus restrictions once again 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.

before you with the bar of fly fish and grow food wherever it is going to do what every. 2 or 3 people and i are 8 usually. means it isn't even you would. leave one with 'd the virus but now you're going to see our approach building up the number of positive cases per $1000.00 cobia tests in the u.k. has doubled since the end of july on friday the number of new daily confirmed infections rose to more than $35600.00 more than the previous day the total number of confirmed cases in britain is now more than 360000 w.h.o. special envoy again told us what options are available to contain the spread. the only way to get really struck by notion why. but you know

not down. by oh oh shouldn't the future there are terrible social economic and educational. training a strong independent behavior like. you know me. and how you actually. get on with our lives and maybe change. will become in the program a feminist author and france has been accused of inciting hatred against men details on that story and more after the break. 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 all sides very dramatic development the

only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person those great. things . we dare to ask.

welcome back to the program a previously little known feminist book with a small print run has received a surprise published a boost in france after a senior official called for it to be banned advisor to the gender equality 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 little says her work encourages female readers to take

less account of the often unsupported 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 asked 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. 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 sure old that was behind it. 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. a party founder catherine blakelock an actress

and author of the bank that shared their opinions with us on the book and as it turned out they didn't see eye to eye. for mrs brook in the provocation to bear me to a new way of thinking to deconstruct the tree archy it's more about. the idea of men and about some behaviors in order consumption so short a story called folly to call the provocation from ken the difference in and before a jury is a reflection in stories 'd of freedom and on 0 human rights and no 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 rule 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 who joins you men like women i mean it is quite ironic when women have basically treated in all sorts of silly spears in this country and entranced compared to say a country like afghanistan or. in those cultures women really are oppressed in the western cultures 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. phase 3 trials are now underway for the russian corona virus vaccine sputnik v and testaments are already being made nationwide this comes after an international peer reviewed study confirmed the early stage trials had been

a success within the next 2 days towns and cities across russia will have access to sputnik v. thousands of volunteers are taking part in the trials and priority is being given to bonner. population groups a drug has already been registered in russia for emergency use and large scale backs the nation is expected to start by the end of the year the director of the russian investment fund which is overseeing the project said all early indications show that sputnik is safe for us. to include not all vaccine platforms are created equal well post registration trials he gets a complete new wii is built from safe and proven available platform and has received its emergency use registration in full compliance with russian law and procedures several groups in the west the rules are considering early emergency use registration but vaccines built on unproven novel approaches. are now join the live by march of her other denali a professor on epidemiology for more on this story now phase 3 trials of this

vaccine have just started do you think russia is moving too fast by destroying it to vulnerable groups before tests have been completed. well it is russian scientists mostly must feel they have a great degree of confidence in that said in their daily kind of trial so far completed. they have been dosed the response of shown in a stable human and said it will respond according to the information provided by the. major sponsor points on the project so. when they live in all. of they have vital centralizing of people the cell phone here's what you need to do with disputed. 5 was say 1.5 times higher than the level of on people to be so severe it could be 90 patients who had to call her from strong may. 19th so where did she say she was

contrasted with. the experience that the produce from a so-called astra zeneca company could show where they live in the m people it is or they volunteered yeah under their particular trials. there were literally equal to the level of untoward use of those who had to call vary from there from cornell letters so. according to these if the nation i said in the level of confidence in order to start this proceed your sister said her own must be a great number of countries are trying to make that vaccine and there's trials of a rival vaccine in the u.k. from astra zeneca that were put on hold recently after a test subject fell thick but tests have now resumed of course should we expect similar setbacks when it comes to sputnik me.

well if you're going to do the crusader. sort of plea certainty that you know in the russian case be being taken advantage of all the earlier. that they have with it if i see in them but. if you to me you know africa so we're on the basis of it and what if you what if you do think those that don't exist they have achieved. it different i mean they're dishonest the russian scientists have achieved it they went through a different path than the one who as be used in the west there are 2 different if denise here. we've been speaking with professor of epidemiology of marcelo fraud at donnelley thank you for your time and your comments. 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

and in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceuticals came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a miss and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the time could you get addicted to no. that was not true then and it is not true now and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of lying about these tricks they cause this step and i believe that with.
