the ah, the french president get slapped in the face while trying to get up close and personal with a crowd of well wishers in southern france. germany thinks this both descent from smaller, you states by removing the power of the so as the foreign minister accuses them of holding the block hostage. and also ahead on this news our video of an american father and daughter is speaking, yards against critical race theory. has gone viral, receiving 2000000 views on twitter. it comes from it ongoing debate in the us about the role of c, r t and education and in politics. how we treat people is based on who they

are and if they're in tomorrow, ah, 1 in the morning in jerusalem in nairobi and here in moscow, wherever you're counting us from today. welcome to the news our an rti and manual mccrory got a nasty show during a visit to the south of france on tuesday, where he's trying to drum up support for his pre election campaign. he walked up to a barrier to grief locals. and this is what happened next. the few men who being arrested following that assault on the president macaroni the 1st time that you've been physically assaulted since becoming president. that happens in the south of france near the city of violence. and as you saw in that video,

present mike on exits the hotel school where he's been taking your visit. he walks towards a crowd of people who are all behind the battle barrier. then present. michael puts his hand on a man's on the man and grabs back at president mike on before administering that my c slap. the security agency immediately intervened and 2 individuals were taken into custody for willful violence against the person holding public authority. now that's an offense, it's taken pretty seriously here in france, and could see somebody put in jail for up to 3 years as well as paying a fine, a 45000 years. but of course, that would be up for a judge to decide how lenient they may wish to be. and of course, for an individual to be found guilty of the offense. there's been a huge reaction hearing from including coming from the government, the prime minister, showing caustics, saying that this 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. also, we have heard from a political policy from across the political spectrum with authorization lead is pretty much on the same page. a very rare hearing from all saying that this is simply unacceptable. while democratic debate can bitter, it can never tolerate physical violence. i strongly condemn the unacceptable physical aggression targeting 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. well, president, marconi is currently on the top from says it's been cold, he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running. and next is presidential

election. he hasn't officially said he's going to, but the idea that he's making this visit is seen as many as a pre election tool. and you might have caught the end of that video, somebody shouting down with macro ism. and there is a suggestion that the individuals behind this assault on the president or yellow vest involved and unauthorized process earlier in the day. but the reality is, what this is shown is that there is still an under current to present to and again president michael and his policies. those have been passed the reform as well as those he's attempted to pass to the front of the house and managed to do so. always hot water them down slightly and it seems as we get closer and closer to the election, we like to see more of that resentment coming through. but for the moment in from present my phone associate with 2 individuals in the south of france now under

arrest wound for violence against the person holding public authority. we spoke to the founder of the yellow vest, constructive ment who told us the incident shows the growing discontent among frances per communities with president micron trench are in the before reformations. situation is near close next prisons social. every weeks, the new new jackets were to protest against my trumpet. more and more people in france are very angry against the french president because they think the reforms are about to just go to the crew is a prison of the rich people, not for the normal people own. the people club is

a sample of poor and middle class people to, to say, to micro, stuck to be, are going present president because we want a pretty don't, for all people, not for the reach people moving on now the days of small e u. country standing up to the big players could soon be over. germany's foreign minister wants to silence the dissenting voices of the likes of hungry by abolishing vito powers. we cannot let vetoes be used to paralyze european foreign policy and hold us hostage. those you do that of playing with europe, cohesion in the short and long term. that's why we must say openly the veto moscow . even if that means the we ourselves can be outvoted. i remain confident that the subject of a majority decision will take center stage during discussions at the conference on the future of europe. while the german foreign minister must didn't mention any you

meant the states by name when saying that the veto was being misused and should be banned. it's pretty clear who he was talking about. we can extract plates as well from statements we've heard from mr. math in the past, as well as tweets made by senior figures within his foreign ministry. this is directed firmly towards hungry, budapest, and prime minister of hungry victor. or bon. the reason is they think victor, all bands being too overzealous when it comes to the use of this veto hungry used the v. so just last week to stop a joint statement on hong kong. they've done something similar back in april as well. and just recently, budapest, nick's the another statement from the european union, calling for a a ceasefire in hostilities between palestinians and the state of israel. we've also seen poland and hungary team up to delay the signing the ratification of

the, the you budget, just last year. now what the response to this from hungary has been as well. victor oberon, the hungarian prime minister, is far from happy with german foreign minister hiker muss the european left led by the german left as once again the taking hungry in an outragious 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, i'm guaranteed by the european union's founding treaties when it comes to things like tax budgets and foreign policy, the european union has to be marching in lockstep meaning all $27.00 nations. have to agree to any statements or any moves concerning the big things. what this move would do would be to get rid of that. and in the past, what we've seen is these, this be so being used as leverage. basically you've seen one country go,

i'm not signing that until my, if you that is most pressing to me has been signed. what this would do that high co masters talking about is almost certainly it would speed up the decision making processes. but it would get rid of, perhaps some of the say that small nations have in the european union and know the thing that's worth know thing in order to get what mr. mass would like. it would require all $27.00 member states to sign off on getting rid of the v. so if you listen, see what victor, all bonding hungry has to say just to what mr. muff proposed. we can see that happening anytime soon or your correspondent peter oliver. i also spoke with political communications consultant damian wilson. he believes scrapping e you veto powers can only be damaging for the block. smaller states. i think it's a very useful device for the smaller nations, because without it, it's the, the large notion like germany,

like france who just bullied the small nations into doing whatever they want. every nation within that, the $27.00 nations left have their own history, have their own problems, have their own outlooks on, on the wider world. they should be allowed to keep those without being forced into a corner or broad and bullied by, by the large asians. the problem with the use is really desperately wants to be seen as of one united voice that speaks on the world stage. you see that they've been invited to to the g 7 meeting in the u. k this week, but they're not one of the 7. they're, they're a plus one. so they're really on the outside on the fringes of it and annoyed them that they can't get that united voice and, and be given the presence in the end that the, the limelight that they think they deserve to a quality activists in the us find a new way of getting rich by telling white women how races they are. they're

organizing special dinners where the hosts coughed up a large sum of money for the privilege of being lectured ortiz. dimitri polk can tell us more 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 concepts 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 ro 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 racism and the role in 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 another dishing out and promised to call some other white women to the party. essentially, that's ho. 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 race this 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. men to quote shatter white fragility, but tears an outrage at these events are strictly prohibited. it does all sound

a bit masochistic, but pay there is no accounting for taste. white women love dinner parties more than anything. if they're safe space to talk about how much they hate their husbands, how they're 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 ral, have since expanded the premise. i guess they grew tired of just braiding 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 past times of privileged white females. naturally, the internet has had a field day with the story. ah,

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 this 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 recent they are, what kind of experience birch is signaling. and i really, truly believe it's just another way of people's, the fencing with their white gill, the crazy thing i've ever read. and i don't think that that actually does this fit

to 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 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 on while some our caching in on walk this a video of an american father, daughter, joe, speaking against the idea known as critical race theory, has gone viral on social media. and it comes in an ongoing debate in the us about the role of c, r t in education and politics. it doesn't matter if you're black or white or any 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, see this is, this is our choosing. think right here,

critical race theory wants to in now we, my children are not going to happen. so, royalty on our dads are resonating with a lot of people. the videos clocked up 2000000 views on twitter. the theory itself was put forward almost half a century ago and essentially suggest that racism is systematic within society. c r t has been widely criticized with many calling for a bond on its teaching in schools. earlier i spoke to the man behind the video. 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, there are teachers that are tar that are writing, meets people going up the school boards now. yeah, i think people want to stand up because they feel 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 divisive? 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, 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 push back. 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. there's been a massive blast in china. what we know about it will bring it to you after the

break and more besides, stay with our team. ah, join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politics, sport, business, and show business. i'll see you then. me. when i was the wrong one, i'll just don't the rules. yes. to see out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, the parts we choose to look for common ground. unfortunately,

we are witnessing a trend in media. they go from one news fiasco to another. the weapons of mass destruction story, the russia gate hogs, hunters, laptop back in bounty tale. and now the possible coven lab, leak story. now why does anyone in their right mind, even tune in any more? ah, hello again. the prime minister of canada has condemned what he's called a cowardly terrorist attack. after a driver and a pickup truck mo, done a muslim family in ontario on sunday, leaving for did this, killing was no accident. this was a terrorist attack motivated by hatred in the heart of one of our communities. we

not only have to say enough is enough. we must take action. we cannot allow any form of hate to take root, because the consequences can be far too serious. to ellen, a man on the teenage girl spending 3 generations were killed in the attack, which canadian police have described as a targeted headcount. a 9 year old boy is still in hospital in critical condition. the suspect a 20 year old man named by police as nathaniel feldman, was arrested in a shopping center shortly after the incident. he's been charged with 4 kinds of murder in one of attempted murder in the family who were targeted, immigrated from pakistan 14 years ago. residents have set up a mix shift memorial for them next to the local mosque, the suspect has no prior criminal record, and is not known to be a member of any hate group or your. i spoke to a canadian anti racism activists who told me how the attack had effected the local

community. if this happens to one family or anybody else that you know, shares that identity will show that they're at risk of, you know, some kind of a targeted attack, some kind of violence, some kind of motivated incident. so, you know, it's in shock waves throughout the entire community. unfortunately, this country and some of the people in it have to recognize that there is a racist undertone to the foundation of this nation. this is a country built on stolen land. and, you know, there's a, there's a history and a legacy of slavery, enslaving people. and there are systemic issues that need to be really worked through so that people can get along and really reach the ideal that, you know,

janitor shares outside of its borders. and when we say that we're welcoming an inclusive place, you know, this is a contradiction to that. so i would say everybody has to do some work here and get to the root of where this hatred is, is forming from and hopefully, sooner than later to china. where there is reports of a massive explosion and fire of a polysilicon plant in the north west of the country. according to local media reports firefighters from surrounding areas have been sent to the scene to help bring the blades under control is currently very little information on the possible number of casualties. the fire code of implications for the global semiconductor industry, which already is in a severe shortage, will bring you more on this developing story. as soon as it comes to the activists in the u. k. are advising foreign property investors to steer clear of

britain. they weren't developers or selling unsafe real estate, covenant type of clubbing that lead to the greenfield tower tragedy. often they say, such coverings are either worthless or come with a host of hidden costs related to fire safety. we spoke to ben fox, the creator of an online mop of sodium problem properties, the u. k. as is now none of the building and none of the leaseholders, particularly new builds, can be trusted to be purchased. because when i find in the range of building bass ah, unsafe have issues and ultimately because of the 8th of the u. s. one ratings on our valued pounds, you know, they can't be sold again. so we want people particularly from overseas, tend to be very careful with buy in buildings, especially from the major developers still marketing overseas.

the flooding scandal receive worldwide attention when grunfeld tower in london went up in flames. back in 2017. the fire, which started from a fridge, freezer on the 4th floor spread rapidly because of the clouding. it took almost an entire day for firefighters to contain the plays with 72 people losing their lives . r t shabby edwards dusty looks at how the government is moving forward. almost 4 years old from the grunfeld tower tragedy. the government is still trying to learn from mistakes, especially as thousands of homes across the country of phil covered in the very same material. grunfeld was the deadline to apply for funding to remove the closing, but 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 paying

for waking watches. so now you know, our service charges have you know, skyrocket. we are facing another bill of so far. the seas around $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 meet the 1st phase of the public inquiry into the grunfeld tower tragedy that came the lives of 72, found the having was the principal reason 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 flats are still considered dangerous due to the material on them. also making them on sellable. and while the government has agreed to crop 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 had demonstrated, certainly have been to, you know, we are in talks with the bill barracks to build up have we, you know, what these properties in good faith, have to foot the bill. we've been to m p. 's and even the opposition leader tried to, you know, put forward a bill to chased of these whole loss, but of course, the conservative as well to the down. so we're back to square one. the government insists residence 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 putting on costs to lease holders. 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 a bit of research. i couldn't find any project that kind of shows you how many buildings across the u. k. over my or anything like that. and i was quite confirmed that this information wasn't publicly available. you know, you might get a building that hasn't got threats and yet monte, by the rhetoric can change and you will be liable for the costs. besides breaks 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 effects the maybe one or 2 buildings that have the issue. they will think it's ok, i will be faced with a new bill. if we can prove from our ma that people are registered and build into

our 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 4 years, all from the grunfeld tower tragedy and still thousands of people are going to bed at night scared if another tragedy is simply waiting to happen to edit dusty all to london is our love for another but our programs, they are only just beginning find out what's being shown in moments, goodbye, unceasing. oh, the me, i make no, certainly no borders and the blind number please emerge. we don't have authority. we don't, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people

judge crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each of their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel very proud that we need together in me. i actually don't want any bay both, but i'm happy to handle that one. yeah, of course. oh we're, we're not doing anything illegal. so this, there would be a law against it,

but there is no law against taking food from the trash in. the stores are not giving the food away. the reason that there are stores for people to make money. there's no announcement that's made 20 minutes before the store closes. attention customers. the food you're now looking at will very soon in 20 minutes. be on the curb. outside. don't bother buying it. you can get it for free. so the reason the stores are uncomfortable or the management of stores to people who work there might be uncomfortable about seeing people salvaging good food that they throw out is because it might be a threat to their business. ah, who are rescuing the food they.
