the ah, the, the, the french president gets slapped in the face while trying to get up close and personal with a crowd of who he thought were well wishers and southern france. germany seeks to stamp out dissent from smaller you state by removing veto powers, has the foreign minister accuses them of holding the block hosted and to equality. activists serve up $5000.00 dinners to middle class white american women, so they can find out how races they are. ah,

it's the top of the hour here in moscow and you know what that means. it's time for our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome. now a manual macro and had a nasty shock during his visit to the south of france on tuesday, where he's been trying to drum up support for his pre election campaign. he walked up to a barrier to grieve locals, and this is what happened next. the 2 men who being arrested following that assault on president macro. and in 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, walk 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. then grabs back

a president miko before administering that, might be slap. the security agency immediately intervened in 2 individuals were taken into custody for wilful violence against the person holding public authority offenses. take him 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 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 us, including coming from the government, the prime minister, 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've heard from a political policy from across the political spectrum with all physician lead is pretty much on the same page. 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, my call is currently on the to the from says it's been cold, he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running in 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 macklin ism, and there is a suggestion that the individuals behind this assault on the president ought yellow vest revolt and unauthorized protests earlier in the day. but the reality is, what this is shown is that there is still an undercurrent 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, or how to move 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 a branch of the yellow vests, and he told us the incident shows the growing discontent with president mack wrong among francis,

poor communities. trench are in the before refurbishments . situation is near close next prisons social every weeks, the new york jackets were to protest against my trunk policies. more and more people in france are very angry against the french president because they think the reforms are about to just use equity. the crew is a prison of to reach people, not for normal people own. the 2 people club is a sample of poor and middle class people to to say, to mouthful stuff, to be our gun present president. because we want a president for all people, not for the reach people. the days of smaller

e u countries standing up to the big powers could soon be over. germany is foreign minister wants to silence 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 who do that of playing with europe's cohesion in the short and long term. that's why we must say openly 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 hagen 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. mass 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 v. so hungry used the v t. 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 next to 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 new budget just last year. now, what's 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 outrageous 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 lock step, 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 the space be so being used as leverage. basically you see 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 hiker 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. another thing that's worth,

no thing in order to get what mr. mass would like, it would require all 27 member states to sign off on getting rid of the v. so if you listen, see what victor all been and hungry has to say just to head to what mr. muff proposed. we can see that happening anytime soon. political in communications consultant damian wilson believes scrapping you veto powers can only be damaging for the blocks. smaller states, i think it's a very useful device for the smaller nations because without it, it's the, the large notions like germany, like france will just bully the small nation due to 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 that should be allowed to keep those without being forced into a corner or bribed 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 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 law and what that they think they deserve to a quality activists in the us have found a new way of getting rich by telling white women how racist the are. they are organizing special dinners, where their hosts coff up large sums of money for the privilege of being lectured ortiz, dimitri park 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 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 ro are, well, here's a few quotes. we all know about white women's to use. 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 raised 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 and ro 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's no accounting for taste. why women love dinner parties more than anything. it's their 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 turned to 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 carried the lesson and white fragility even further and make a change at the 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's 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 and 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 birches signaling and i really truly believe it's just another way of people, the fencing with their white gill, the crazy thing i've ever read. and i don't think that that actually does that 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, that they're playing only 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. coming up on the program, european border and coast guard agency, front tech is fine to self under fire from several countries for failing to deal

with illegal immigration at story. and more after the short break. ah ah, with me ah ah, i use

the summer solutions. that's where i would look at the problem. they look at the solution and today we've got the one on the marshall auerbach is the market analyst and loving institute researcher and tragic follower of the toronto police. but maybe this is they are they want to stanley cup the welcome back to the program. now, western european countries are reportedly accusing greece of failing to hold on to the migrants arriving on its shores. 6 nations, led by france and germany, have reportedly written to the european commission about that. they say that after being granted asylum in greece, thousands have been heading north and filing secondary claims in richer countries.

germany, for example, has apparently received $17000.00 such application since last summer. the joint letter said the problem is partly down to greece failing to provide adequate conditions for migrants and allegation that athens denies. some national chords consider that greece is not assuring that these persons i give him suitable accommodation and provided with a minimum level of physical subsistence. grace is fully compliant with his obligations regarding border control, registration of a regular rivals, reception, asylum process and integration programs. and it's not responsible for any regular secondary flows, keeping illegal migrants out of the european union as partly the job of front tech's, the agency charged with securing the external borders. but according to the european court of auditors, it's failing to do its job. i'm all t's, former government minister, the chief auditor of that report said the problems only getting worse

from texas, presently not discharging that due to the fact of when we found that this is even more wiring to tie one front tech's has been given added responsibilities. now frontier has responded to those claims, saying its quote undergoing a massive transformation that would have challenged any organization it but is aware that improvements are needed. notice mariah is a greek member of the european parliament. he told us that athens has no control over refugees who illegally leave the country and try to settle elsewhere in the you. the problem is that there are some gentlemen coach, excepted that to those people that have been granted asylum from greece. they have the right to apply the 2nd 2nd time for what i saw in germany. but this is a decision by the gentleman quotes, and this has nothing to do with grace. and furthermore,

you should take into account that the gentleman in the netherlands and those from belgium. they were obliged to go out by the, by the location system. it's the problem with france and germany to find those people and send them back to if they can violate the 2nd rules and they stay more than 3 months. we don't money. well pay. there are people from, from big so that's it weren't in greece. in the case of the island of sub was, there are 2 boats from the deadman course, puts it on and they are that it so they, they tried to do their job. but and i see that many people waiting for working for frontage rather says should the again, should make if you should do its job better. but the installation of the union, the geisha from the it's not the initial bridge kind of this prime minister has

condemned what he's called a cowardly terrorist attack. after a driver in a pickup truck mowed down a muslim family in ontario on sunday, leaving for dead 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 women and a man and a teenage girl standing 3 generations were killed in the attack, which canadian police have described as a targeted hate crime. a 9 year old boy is still in the hospital in critical condition, the suspect to a 20 year old man named by police as nathaniel weltman, was arrested in the shopping center shortly after that incident. he's been charged

with 4 counts of murder and one of attempted murder of the family who were targeted, immigrated from pakistan for 14 years ago. residents have set up a make shift memorial for them. next, the local mosque suspect has no prior criminal record and is not known to be a member of any hate group. earlier, anti racism activist div boss felt told us how the attack had effected the local community. it, if this happens to one family or anybody else that you know, shares that identity will show that there are risk of, you know, some kind of a targeted attack, some kind of violence, some kind of heat motivated incident. so, you know, it's in shock waves throughout the entire community. i would say this is a week after, or we can a bit after we got the news of 215 indigenous children buried

beneath a school right in british columbia. 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 and slaving people that we go to china, where there's been reports of a massive explosion and fire, not a polysilicon plant in the northwest of the country. according to local media reports firefighters from surrounding areas have been sent to the scene to help bring the blaze under control, or is currently no information on the possible number of casualties. but the fire could have implications for the global semi conductor industry, which already is in severe shortage. we'll bring in more on that developing story as we get it. activists in the u. k. are advising

foreign property investors to steer clear of britain. they warn developers are selling unsafe real estate, covered in the type of cladding that lead to the grunfeld 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 map of so called problem properties, the u. k. as of now, none of the bill then none of the leasehold, particularly new builds, can be trusted to be purchased. because why find in the range of buildings that are 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'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 started from a fridge, freezer on the 4th floor, spread rapidly because of the cladding. it took almost an entire day for firefighters to contain the blaze. with 72 people losing their lives are tease shoddy. edwards dusty looks at how the government is moving forward almost 4 years on from the grandfather's how a tragedy the government is still trying to learn from it. 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 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 paying for waking watches. so now you know, our service charges have, you know, skyrocket the chip. 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 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 had demonstrated, certainly have been to, you know, we are still in talks with the bill barret to build up have we, you know, what these properties in? good faith, have to foot the bill. we have been to m p. 's and even the opposition leader was trying to, you know, put forward a bill to chased of these whole loss. but of course the conservatives voted it down. so we're back to square one. the government insists residents are 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 opportunities. 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 building. unsurprisingly, then closing outrage among those effected i did a bit of research. i couldn't find any project the kind of shows you. ready 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 to build in the haven't got it. and yet, muncie by the rhetoric can change and you will be liable for the costs besides rates in money that we now pay $61000.00 pounds a week for fund 475 patrols, certainly not in the interest of the british economy in regards to received by it effects the maybe one or 2 buildings that have the issue,

they will think it's okay. i will be safe with a new bill. if we can prove from our math that people are registered in building for 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 for 4 years only from the grunfeld tower tragedy. and still thousands of people are going to night scared if another tragedy is simply waiting to happen to all see london, more details in your top new stories. you can always check out our website, r t dot com or follow us on your favorite social media platform. i'll be back with more news just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. the ah, the ah,

ah, unfortunately, we are witnessing a trend in media and they go from one news fiasco to another. the weapons of mass destruction story though russia gave hoax. hunters, laptop back in bounty tale and now the possible colbert lab leak story. now why does anyone in their right mind, even tune in anymore? one of the worst in a mess. shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close

a little live in real life. vega, where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed wet b, l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stem machine. most of the american public barely remembers that it happened just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people the vice could have been saved if they would take an action. absolutely keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care.
