are now 7 o'clock tuesday evening here in moscow. this is the international from all of us here, a very warm welcome to you in manuel macro and got a rather nasty shock during a visit to the south of france. ways trying to drum up support for his pre election campaign. he walked up to a barrier to greet locals, and this is what happened. the group, the group to individual have been arrested falling. not a soul. don't president mike on the 1st time that he has been physically assaulted since he came into office, back in 2017. as you saw not video present macro and was coming outside of school hotel school. but he'd been visiting as part of a tool. he's doing at the moment to run for the walk towards a crowd of people who are all behind
12:02 pm
a barrier. and then you can see the president michael, put his hand on the arm of one of the people behind that barrier. that man responds like wrapping back a president my phone and then slapping him in the face. of course security guards were on it straight away into individuals were detained for will full violence against a person holding public office. now they take up pretty serious. see here in front of and having to look at this and this could see some of the in jail for up to 3 years plus a fine of 45000 euro. so, you know, there are some very severe penalties, but of course that would be up for a judge to decide if, of course, the 2 individuals all found culpable of having committed assault against president micron. now that has been a huge reaction to hearing from not just from the government, but also from opposition leaders across the political spectrum. and the one thing that they have all said is that this is simply unacceptable. while democratic
12:03 pm
debate can be bitter, it can never tolerate physical violence. i strongly condemn the unacceptable physical aggression target in the president of the republic. this time, are you starting to understand that violent people are taking action? i stand in solidarity with the president. meanwhile, from the government's perspective, the prime minister's young cas texted the base was an attack on democracy. democracy is debate. dialogue is confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreements, but it can in no way be violence, verbal, aggression, and even less physical aggression. we are all concerned, it is the foundations of our democracy through the head of states. it is democracy that is targeted now, microphone is currently carrying out war. many have dug his to the front where he's essentially going around the country meeting up with people as a way of testing the temperature to see whether or not he will officially and soon
12:04 pm
the keys do to run in next is presidential election. many fee this tours pretty much confirmation of that, but we still haven't heard that from the who says math. what is interesting though, is that this incident which has been reported that the 2 individuals behind that were part of the yellow vac movement, a huge social movement here that started back in 2018 and happy with many of the policies of macro and governments is that there is still this and the valley of resentment across the country. now, we may see president michael and writing fairly well in the polls at the moment, but there is certainly an underbelly of individuals across the country who are unhappy with him. are unhappy with what he's done in his mandate so far, including reforms he's made as well as those reforms he's attempted to make a not fully being able to implement. and you may have caught just off to that level
12:05 pm
. could somebody show done with my own isn't, and that certainly is the thing that is felt very widely across the country. germany is top diplomatic suggested a way of speeding up decision making in the european union, high co mass event. it's frustration over certain countries continually using their veto powers and once the practice to be abolished altogether. we cannot let vetoes be used to paralyze european foreign policy and hold us hostage. those who do that are playing with europe's cohesion in the short and long term. that's why we must say openly the veto moscow. even if that means that we ourselves can be out voted, i remain confident that the subject of a majority decision will take center stage. during discussions at the conference on the future of europe. bills deeper into this now across live to europe, correspondent peter, all of a, joining us here on the program. on this tuesday. peter, the german foreign minister didn't specify any country,
12:06 pm
but who do you think he might have been referring to? and ultimately, what prompted this move? yeah, i think even though hi gorman, didn't mention any nation in particular any you meant the state in particular by name. this was very much directed in the, the direction of hungry, budapest, and the hungarian prime minister, victor or bon. we can extrapolate that not only from what we've heard from mr. mass in the past, but also from what senior figures within his foreign ministry of being tweeting out just recently when it comes to hungry and it comes to mr. all bond, they're not happy with the use of the v. so in the, in a you decision making by the, the hungarian prime minister, they have used it quite a lot just last week. the old bond vetoed and you statement concerning hong kong. he done something similar. back in april, budapest also next just recently,
12:07 pm
a joint statement from the european union on a fi fi, it's a hostilities. and the conflict between israel and palestine and also hungry was alongside poland. one of those nations that held up the you budget for quite a bit of time just last year. as you can imagine, the response from victor. o, bon? well, he's not happy about this from high co mass. the german foreign minister asked all the european left lead by the german left as once again attacking hungry and then outrages tone this time on the basis that our country wasn't willing to sign. a joint declaration on hong kong that lacked any political weight and seriousness whatsoever. we will exercise our rights guaranteed by the european union's founding treaties when it comes to big issues, particularly things concerning tax budgets and foreign policy. all 27
12:08 pm
u member states have to sign off on any joint statements or any moves made regarding those issues. now what this has been used for in the past is leverage. basically, you will see one country say, well, i'm not finding, not until my issue is taken care of. what this could ultimately do is strict away the ability for that to happen, non speed up decision making. however, in order to change the rule concerning a veto in the you, it would need all of them in the states to agree to it, which doesn't look likely to happen anytime soon. peter, all of a very interesting thanks to equality activists in the us. a found a new way to get rich by telling white women how racist they are. they're organizing special dinners where the hosts coughed up, arch sums of cash for the privilege of being lectured. his aunty is dimitri park.
12:09 pm
on this episode of things crazy people do, white liberal women line up to pay $5000.00 for a dinner, where 2 women of color berate them on how races they are. sounds like a lot of fun. now i'm sure some of you are confused by the concept or pal, something like this came to be. so here it is. it's all organized by 2 people, regina jackson, who was black and say, you're a row who identifies as indian american. if you're wondering what kind of people, jackson and row are, well, here's a few quotes. we all know about white women's tears. it has caused the tears of 100, maybe even thousands of black people, and it's still a weapon. white people would rather die than tell the truth about white supremacy races and the roland both. yeah. a lovely bunch. anyway, once upon a time they got into an argument about race with a white friend over dinner. much to their surprise, a few months later, the woman they had the argument with said she actually enjoyed it and asked for
12:10 pm
another dishing out and promised to call some other white women to the party. essentially, that's how race to dinner was started. the format of the dinner goes like this, a group of white women pay $5000.00 for the events which is hosted at one of their houses. once they're done counting their piles of cash, jackson in row, dig into the attendees, trying to uncover their subconscious racism with questions like how are you racist? what's a racist thing or thought you've done recently? if a woman doesn't have an answer, according to ro, well that's just typical racist behavior. all of this is done in the most aggressive manner possible, meant to quote, shatter white fragility, but tears an outrage at these events are strictly prohibited. it does all sound a bit masochistic, but hey, there is no accounting for taste. but women love dinner parties more than anything . if they're safe space to talk about how much they hate their husbands,
12:11 pm
how their kids are super annoying. how crazy busy they are. the latest school auction, they're raising money for, you turn the place where they typically unleashed their entire c whiteness into somewhere where you can actually have safe, not shameful conversations around racism. having started this back in 2019, jackson and ro have since expanded the premise. i guess they grew tired of just parading self loathing, progressive white women. so now they're telling them how to carry the lesson and white fragility even further and make a change at be. events are no longer limited to dinner. so now they have breakfast, lunch, cocktails, and even brunch all popular pastime of privileged white females. naturally the internet has had a field day with the story. ah,
12:12 pm
it's unclear if these masochistic self flagellation dinners will ever actually lead to any change in society, let alone a good one. but one thing for sure. as long as progressive white women feel they are unconsciously racist. jackson and ro might never again have to pay for a meal. i think it's ironic, an elitist that they will pay, that they will pay $5000.00 in order in order to learn how races they are. what kind of experience birches signaling and i really, truly believe it's just another way of people, the fencing with their white gill, the craziest thing i've ever read. and i don't think that that actually does the trick that you actually learn anything by doing that. it feels like these 2 women that are in charge of the dinner. it feels like it almost feels like
12:13 pm
a game of some sort that they're playing on the white women when i really think it's going on here, is that these women are really capitalizing on the white gill of the wealthy. while the summer cashing in on a woke nurse, a video of an american father daughter do speaking out against an idea known as critical race theory has gone viral on social media. it comes made an ongoing debate in the us about the role of c r t and both education and politics. it doesn't matter if you're black or white or anyhow, doesn't matter if you're black, white, brown. yeah. right. black in how we treat people is based on who they are. and if they're nice to see this is, this is how children think right here. critical race theory wants to in day. now we might, you not going to have the video is clocked 2000000 views on twitter. now the theory itself was put forward 40 years ago and essentially suggests that racism is
12:14 pm
systemic and not just demonstrated by individuals with prejudices. fiarty has been widely criticized with conservatives calling for a bio on its teaching in schools. my colleague union o'neill spoke to the man behind the video. corey, joshua, i just think people are waking up to what's going on in the vision that's been going on. and i think people are tired, man, their teacher that are tar, that are writing me people going up to school boards now. yeah, i think people want to stand up because they see that they're trying to brainwash our children into seeing each other for the color they are and not the character that they are. how would you describe corey, why critical race theory as proof? so devices i would say when you tell any group of people that their whole pressures, because of the color of their skin and you tell the other group that they are a pressed because of the color and they're seeing,
12:15 pm
you're going to find push back. you are going to see people standing up. we know what martin luther king said, right just by the content of our cares and the color of our scheme. and when we see people trying to implement that into our schools on to our children, you're going to see pushback. you haven't held back talking, but black lives matter either. you said the movement is for the destruction of america under families. can you just open up and why did you say that? well, the co founder said she was a marxist. so we know what marxism leads to and that's communism that socialism. so for me and for america, that's not what we're about. activists in the u. k, you're advising foreign property investors to stay clear of britain. they warn developers are selling unsafe, real estate covered and the type of cladding that lead to the grunfeld tower tragedy. often they say this is either worthless or comes with a host of hidden costs related to fire safety typically and fox,
12:16 pm
the creator of an online map of so called problem properties, explain the situation to us, the u. k. as of now, none of the bill then none of the leasehold, particularly new bills, can be trusted to be purchased because why find in the range of buildings that's ah unsafe have issues. and ultimately, because of the 8th of the us, one ratings on our valued, they were pounds, you know, they can't be sold again. so we want people's particularly from overseas, tend to be very careful with buy in buildings, especially from the major developers, are still marketing overseas. the cladding scandal received worldwide attention when grunfeld tower in london went up in flames back in 2017. the fire, which starts from a fridge, freezer on the 4th floor,
12:17 pm
spread rapidly because of reclining. it took almost 24 hours for firefighters to contain the blaze with $72.00 people losing their lives. ortiz shot, it was dashed, looks at how the government is still trying to move forward almost 4 years on from the grunfeld tower tragedy. the government is still trying to learn from its mistakes, especially as thousands of homes across the country are still covered in the very same material. grunfeld was the deadline to apply for funding to remove the closing for already many of how to fit the bill themselves to keep that home safe after grandchild. in june 2018, we will immediately had to pay for waking watches were still painful waking watches. so now you know, our service charges have, you know, skyrocket. we are facing another bill of so far. they sees around
12:18 pm
$33000.00 to remove the planning, but i think it's more we are really, really struggling. i'm a pensioner, i'm 76 and all my savings for now and i can find work students append to me the 1st phase of the public inquiry into the grunfeld tower tragedy that came the lives of 72, found the having was the principal reasons for the rapid spread of the fire, but to give you an idea of the scale of the ongoing crisis currently around full point, $6000000.00 flap is still considered dangerous due to the material on them. also making them on sellable. and while the government has agreed to come up 5000000000 pounds, that's only a 3rd of what's actually needed. and a legal amendment protecting homeowners from half the bills was voted down by the conservatives in april. we have demonstrated certainly have being to react in talks with the bill barracks to build up have we, you know, who bought these properties in good faith. have to foot the bill. we've been to our
12:19 pm
m p. 's and even the opposition leader tried to, you know, put forward a bill to chase of this whole loss, but of course, the conservative vote it down. so we're back to square one. the government insists residents of being shielded from those call. building safety remains the responsibility of the building owner and they must take swift action to remediate safety issues without passing on costs to leaseholders. our priority is making sure residents are safe in their homes as quickly as possible, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that remediation work backed by government funding is completed to the highest standard. but none of this is stop the government from taking out foreign investors and selling off those dangerous buildings, unsurprisingly, then closing outrage among those effected i did
12:20 pm
a bit of research. i couldn't find any project that kind of shows you how many buildings across the u. k. over my car in my class and i was quite concerned that this information wasn't publicly available. you know, you might get to build in that hasn't got it. and yet once you buy the rest, you can change and you will be liable for the costs side rates in man that we now pay 61000 pounds a week for 2475 patrols, certainly not in the interest of the british economy in regards to receive buyers, if they see maybe one or 2 buildings that have the issue, they will think it's ok. i will be faced with a new build. but if we can prove from our math that people are registered in buildings that are new builds, you know, they are all over the country. they are different heights, different edges. we are proving that this is a nationwide problem per for years on from the grandfather's how
12:21 pm
a tragedy and still thousands of people are going to bad night scared if another tragedy is simply waiting to happen to address dusty, all see london, nationalistic, and echoing, i nazi rallying cry, that's how russia is. foreign ministry sees ukraine's new football kit for the euro . 2020 championships, which start later this week. the front of the kid features a map of ukraine. it includes crimea even though the peninsula rejoined russia in 2014 and below the color. it displays the slogans: glory to ukraine and glory to heroes which are typically associated with the countries, the pro, nazi paramilitary groups of the 2nd world war. they are frequently heard at far right demonstrations and made an ongoing spike and nationalistic sentiment in ukraine. i i, russia, foreign ministry, spoke to him,
12:22 pm
and maria says such gestures have no place in sport. this is another, its hand by cave state propaganda to consolidate in the public consciousness slogan that many korean brought associate with the ukranian insurgent army lead based upon bon dera and their crimes. during the 2nd world war, crimea continues to be a thorny issue between moscow and it's historically, russian and residents did vote overwhelmingly for re unification with russia and a widely televised referendum. well, the ukraine still considered crimea to be a part of its territory. european football as governing body wafer insists that ukraine's euro 2020 kit meet the organizations rules. as despite saying in the charter that quote, provocative messages of a political ideological, religious or offensive nature are banned. in a request to see the international federation of football associations have stated that the u. f. a in this case has every right to decide on approval of the national
12:23 pm
teams equipment. adding that the faith or in turn, a quote, remains neutral in matters of politics and firmly believes that politics and sports should not mix. or we spoke with konstantin cause i trough the deputy chairman of russia's federation council. he said, ukraine is deliberately undermining the spirit of international support. political miss lenny, when you are. yes, not in our view, it is absolutely inappropriate to bring disagreements over crimea into what is purely a sporting events. moreover, i am sure that this is not only our point of view. there are plenty of such disputes around the world, and there is a generally accepted policy and sports worldwide to leave such political disputes out of all sports and competitions. otherwise, sports will turn into an arena for countries to argue about the relations and that should not be allowed. sporting events should remain just that. that's why we consider this to be a provocation with the ukrainian side, his set up by designing these team kits for russia,
12:24 pm
the issue of crimea has been resolved. and of course, we use a map of russia with crimea included. there is no question about that. and no one should doubt it, but i would consider using the map in this way, inappropriate, because it would mean politicizing a sports tournament. russia does have every right to use such maps, but i personally would see the use of other national symbols to be our contribution to the principles of spores. what exactly is russia's objection to the slogans of pairing on the ukrainian kit. for example, glory to ukraine. glory to hear rose, it's such a problem. we're not respond in our country, we have a policy of 0 tolerance for any manifestation of naziism or near naziism. we would like to believe that our european neighbors and partners share this policy a 0 tolerance, and we would like disposition to be consolidated against the ugly manifestations of naziism and near naziism that we now see in ukraine. the provocative actions from
12:25 pm
ukraine directly contradict the norms and rules established by the international community to sports competitions, which are universal. we are deeply disappointed with the decision taken by you. a few sports associations should protect athletes from politics. but in this case, you did the opposite. speaking more generally. how would you assess the current state of russia, ukrainian ties and when, and how will they be normalized at the atlanta proposed to ship? the answer to this question is, exhaustively spelled out in the midst protocol, which was signed by ukraine. we are now waiting for ukraine implemented if and when these agreements are filled and recognized for the people of se, ukraine, the restoration of ukraine's integrity is absolutely possible. and we will support it, and because of that, i'm sure there will be a chance to normalize our bilateral relations on the understanding that they will not constantly hawk back to the subject of crimea. joe biden has reassured
12:26 pm
ukrainian president vladimir lensky, that he would stand up for ukraine in its tensions with russia. what leverage does the american president have in the dialogue with his rushing counterpart for linear 6 years or the 5th for sure. unfortunately, the position of the united states and its nathan allies on matters relating to ukraine, has a destructive character simply because unconditional support ukraine actually means indulging here on the point of non compliance with the minced protocol. i would hope that the sides will concentrate on an agenda of conciliation and addressing matters where we can achieve positive and constructive results by means of refreshment and cooperation. support of dover on the english south coast could start turning away child migrants within days and local council says it services is just overwhelmed by newcomers. situation though the town has faced before,
12:27 pm
i am deeply saddened that we are now seeing a repeat of the same crisis 9 months ago. while there have been a number of welcome measures from government. we have not seen what is most needed, a robust national kansas game that prevents port authority such as can coming under unmanageable pressure. so far this year, 242 loan charles migrants have arrived on kent shores. only 50 to move to other local authorities under a so called voluntary transfer scheme. the local council has long legal action against time secretary, pretty patel is demanding that she make other counsels take their fair share. the home office study will try to improve the scheme and pointed out to the overall number of children seeking asylum in the u. k. has recently dropped. at the same time. patel is called for the removal of social media posts that glamorize dangerous migrant crossings to europe. and elected to social media companies. she said videos promoting lethal crossings were unacceptable. earlier we discussed the
12:28 pm
issue with immigration barrister, robert parking, and former home office minister norman baker. well, you have to be, you have your friends, i'm in the u. k. there might be something that's been on the right, the things on site provided me that there might be but he's not going to prevent people not going to be on the line on tennis to think you take a look at the question is which specific countries responsible rootman in relation to this to take off the proceedings. the encounter council shoes can continue to bear with me the ground making sense of the country or should that be britain. reasonably great vision is to be indifferent to be complacent on the matter. i'm principal tell appears to want to blame social media
12:29 pm
operators for the people to tunnel of course are completely wrong. the national employee anyway. and the simply, the government is the idea that people should claim them in the 1st country they get to which is safe and creative to say. but of course, we didn't know that the european union much weaker position natur cheap. what we want so much anti done to pre patel. some of the headlines in brief. now pakistani authorities are still clearing the wreckage of a trained collision on monday, which killed at least $63.00 heavy machinery was brought in to remove the mangled carriages with military engineers. assisting the accident happened when one passenger train derailed only to be hit later by a 2nd train. the canadian protest just toppled and beheaded a statue of egerton riots. and one of the architects of the country is
12:30 pm
controversial. residential school system. at the start, you directed on the university campus to bears his name. the process was an honor of $215.00 children whose remains were found to the site of a former residential school for indigenous canadians. several cars were destroyed right here. have a look after a large sink call opened up in a parking lot outside a medical center in jerusalem. the hospital had said no one was injured. it's thought that excavation work of tunnels at a nearby motorway may have in some way contributed to this collapse or that's it for me here on our team to national wrapping up this our program for you on this tuesday. my colleague, you know, neil is here at the desk and half an hour's time with more of your worldwide news headlines. ah
