the the, the, the french president gets slapped in the face while trying to get up close and personal with a crowd of who we thought were, well, what years in southern france, germany seek to stamp out to send from smaller states by removing veto powers as the foreign minister accuses them of holding the block costs and to equality activists serve up to $5000.00 dinners, the middle class, white american women. so they can find out how races they are. i

the top of the hour here in moscow and you know what that means. it's time for r t international. i'm donald quarter, walk in the program. manual macro and has 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 the barrier to grieve locals, and this is what happened next. the 2 men who being arrested following that assault on president macro. and it's 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 that's the store in that video present. mike on exits the hotel school where he's been taking a visit. he walked towards a crowd of people who are all behind the metal barrier. the president michael puts

his hand on a man's on the man and grabs back president michael and before administering that might be slap. the security agency immediately intervened in 2 individuals were taken into custody for willful violence against the person holding public authority. now that's offensive. take him pretty seriously hearing phones 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 problems 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 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. 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 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 just 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 ought yellow, very soon revolted in unauthorized process earlier in the day. but the reality is, what this is shown is that there is still an undercover into presentment. again, president michael and his policies. those have been passed. the reforms as well as those he's attempted to pass to the front and i the housing is 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 front, 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 that the incident shows the growing discontent with president micron

among frances, poor communities. trench are in the before refurbishments. situation is near close. next, present, social. every weeks the new york kids will come to protest against my trumpet. more and more people in france are very angry against the french president because they think the reforms i'll not to just go to. the crow is a prison of to reach people, not for normal people own. the cool people club is a sample of poor on middle class people to to say to mouthful stuff, to be our going purpose president. because we want a president for all people,

not for the reach people. the days of small e u countries standing up to the big powers could soon be over germany. 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 you do that of playing with europe cohesion in the short and long term. that's why we must say openly veto moscow. even if that means that 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 conic strap later 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 v. so hungry use 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 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 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 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 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 been and hungry has to say just to what mr. muff proposed. we can see that happening anytime soon. political and communication consultants, damian wilson believes scrapping the veto powers can only be damaging before the blocks. smaller states. i think it's a very useful device for the small emotions, because without it, it's the large notion 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 broad, and bullied by, by the larger nations. 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, making in the u. k this week, but they're not one of the 7. they're, they're a plus one, so they 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 that they think they deserve to equality activists in the united states have found a new way of getting rich by telling rich white women how races they are there organizing special dinners where their hosts call up large sums of money for the privilege of being lectured. r t is dimitri power. 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 how

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, or, well, here's a few quotes. we all know about what 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. 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 route 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 hey, there's 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 their kids are super annoying, how crazy busy. they are the latest school auction. they're raising money for. you turn 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 row 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 facility 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 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 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 guilt, the crazy thing i've ever read. and i don't think that that actually does the trick 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 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. coming up on the program, european border and co guard agency fraud tax finds itself under fire from several

e u countries for failing to deal with illegal immigration. that story and more after the short break ah, ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me. when i was wrong. why don't i just don't the room. yes to shape out the same because the after an engagement equals the trail.

when so many find themselves, well the part we choose to look for common ground in the summer solution. that's right. we don't look at the problem to look at the solution. and today we've got the one and only marshall our block is the market analyst that levy institute researcher and tragic follower of the toronto police. but maybe this is they are they want to stanley cup ah, welcome back to the program. now several republican lawmakers have written a letter to the us attorney general, calling for journalists to be protected from n t for attacks. and comes after journalist an author, andy, no, was reportedly attacked by the anarchist group in late. may. the biden

administration's thesis, acceptance of left wing political violence in portland, and the company attack, some journalists, is unacceptable and dangerous. your acceptance of left wing political violence in portland will only incentivize for the violence and attacks and no says he was chased and attacked while attending rally, marking the anniversary of the 1st george floyd protest in portland, he shared these photos of his injuries, which he received before finding refuge in nearby hotel. and it's not the 1st journalists, it's not the journalist's 1st running with the group in 2019 and chief members, port milk shake over. know, as he was reporting on flashes between the far left activists and the far right extremist crowd. boy, he also says he suffered a brain hemorrhage after what he called a mob beating his testimony to congress earlier this year. and you know, said that and t for violence is often overlooked since 2016. i

witness how violent extreme as from anti and others have made political violence on the street from my home city. but all local politicians turned a blind eye to the violent because we believe the extremism was justified response to the surprise of action. when donald trump local fellow journalists did the same in downplaying anti violence, extreme isn't how to get more insights. we go live now to political commentator, lauren chen. lauren, thanks a lot for joining us. so much for having me. my 1st question is, do you think journalists really need protection from n t f or, or do you think the republicans are just blowing it out of proportion for political reasons? well, i think and its photos speak for themselves and as terrible as the most recent beating he received was to forget that he had a long history of having to deal with not only violence from anti, but also death threats, docks of his family and harassment which goes on, and although i absolutely agree that sure,

unless you need detection for me and even go further to say that everybody needs protection for mentions that you have a sentence turned portland and places like cattle into war zones at their whims. and it seems like local police and law enforcement are not doing enough about it as terrible as it is seeing those photos of andy. i also feel sorry for all the businesses who have had their, their business is destroyed or even looted because of these violence dogs. what would you say there is any racial aspects that plays into these attacks specifically on? no, i mean, even if they're indirect, we're talking about a vietnamese american journalists to left the usa at one point saying he doesn't feel safe there anymore. well, what is concerning is that not only has and made himself an attack, but there actually been cases of other asian men being attacked because n t for, believe them to be, andy knows. so it seems that n t f at the very least, has a little bit of a racial bias problem. if they think all asian men will look the same. but i think

there is also something to be said about the fact that perhaps they are targeting and you know, because as a minority, not only is he of asian descent, but he's also part of the l g, b to community. usually these are groups that and he's on the left half of them are not have a monopoly on. and i think the fact that not only is, and one of the most outspoken people, exposing and people for their violence and their extreme ideology. but he does break the mold and chip away at the narrative that they might be trying to push that. oh, if you are l, g b, t, if you are part of this group or that group, you need to be on our side. because otherwise, the, the right, the conservatives are trying to get you. why do you think the republicans call for protection of journalists is going to be received in washington? do you think there's any going to going to be any concrete action? unfortunately. no, i don't think there's going to be any concrete action and coming from the bided administration. remember, last year we saw an entire summer where black lives matter,

protesters and tisa re tavin on many major american cities. and it's looking like that trend is going to be continuing into 2021. but instead it seems like the bite and administration and the democrats in general are more keen to fear longer about white supremacists, even though the, the amount of damage and the number of life loss in comparison is much, much lower. people like joe biden, a o c, they're not going to be speaking out against an even violence because they know that ultimately doing so would only serve to alienate their faith and their voters, which is too bad because i'm thinking about the, the poor business owner in portland, or seattle, or in so many of these of these major cities that tend to be left leaning. and i can't imagine that the past year has increased sheeted themselves to the democratic party. well know, claims that the media and the local authorities are turning a blind eye to the left wing extremism. do you, would you say that's a fair assessment? absolutely. i believe that's a fair assessment. i mean,

if we even look at what happened last year and keeper was targeting and attacking government, building federal building is including a court house as well. i mean, if you just compare what happened after january 6 when the right wing protestors storm the capital. i mean, and t for b l m, they get away with so much more. and it's actually become somewhat of a joke at this point. how willing the left is to overplay an over hyper, right when violence, when it does happen and don't get me wrong. it's condemned will as well. i do not support that, but it's at the very least, hypocritical for people like joe biden, to take a strong stand against things like the january 6 event while saying absolutely nothing about the ongoing turmoil in portland and seattle. you know, these people's lives and businesses are less valuable or any less worth protecting, just because they aren't elected representatives like the president and members of congress, political commentator, lauren chen, thanks a lot again for joining us on the program. thank you. the western european

countries are reportedly accusing greece failing to hold onto the migrants, arriving on its shores. 6 nations, led by france and germany have reportedly written to the european commission. and they say that after being granted asylum and greece thousands have been heading north and filing secondary claims in richer countries. germany, for example, as apparently received 17000 such applications 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 ensuring that these persons are given suitable accommodation and provided with the minimum level of physical subsistence. greece is fully compliant with the obligations regarding border control, registration of a regular rivals, reception, asylum process and integration programs. and it's not responsible for any regular

secondary floats. keeping illegal migrants out of the european union as partly the job of front tax. the agency charged with securing the external border, but according to the european court of auditors, it's failing to do its job, a multi form or government minister. the chief auditor of that report said the problem is getting worse from texas. presently, not discharging that due to the fact that when we found that this is even more wiring to tie one front tech's has been given added responsibilities. now front text has responded to those claims, saying it's quote, undergoing a massive transformation that could have challenged any organization, but is aware that improvements are needed. notice, mary, as a greek member of the european parliament told us, athens has no control over refugees who legally leave the country and try to settle

elsewhere in the u. the problem is that there are some gentlemen course that the septic, that 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 german court. this has nothing to do with race. and furthermore, you should take into account that the said gentleman, you know, the netherlands and those from belgium. they were obliged to so i, 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 make it the 2nd rules and they stay more than 3 months we've done. when you say there are people from, from big. so that's working green in the case of the island of someone. so there are 2 more from the deadman course and they are that it so they,

they try to do their job. and i see that many people waiting for working for front runner that says should the, again, it should make, it should do its job better. but the nature of the union that gave from the nation bridge the prime minister of canada, has condemned what he's called a cowardly terrorist attack. after driver and a pickup truck mowed down a muslim family in ontario and sunday, leaving 4 people 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, no man and a teenage girl, spanning 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 a critical condition and the suspect, the 20 year old man, named by police as nathaniel feldman, was arrested in the shopping center shortly after the incident. he's been charged with 4 counts of murder and one of attempted murder. the family that was targeted immigrated from pakistan 14 years ago, and residents have set up a make 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 earlier, anti racism activists, dave boss feld told us 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 there are 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. i would say this is a week after or week and 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, enslaving people. if you'd like more details on your top new stories, you can always check out our website, r t dot com or follow us on twitter. i'll be back with more news and just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. the

look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect his phone. existence was one of the worst ever. mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas,

where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine. most of the american public barely remembers that it happened just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demick heard the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to, 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 gonna been saved if they were to 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 about people's lives being lost. the.
