[000:00:00;00] the ah, what the look like. the french president get slapped in the face while trying to get up close and personal with a crowd of who he thought were well wishers in southern france. germany seeks to stamp out dissent from smaller states by removing vito powers of the foreign minister accuses them of holding the block hostage and to equality. activists serve up $5000.00 dinners to middle class white american women, so they can find out how racist stay

ah, it's the top of the hour in moscow and you know what that means. it's time for our teens or national. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now a manual macros 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 a barrier to greed locals, and this is what happened next. the 2 men who being arrested following that assault on president macro and 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, president mike on exits the hotel school where he's been taking

a visit. he walks 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. 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. now that's an offense, it's taken pretty seriously hearing fonts 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 has been a huge reaction hearing from including coming from the government, the prime minister showing cast sticks, 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 opposition leaders 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. 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 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 or yellow were involved in an unauthorized process earlier in the day. but the reality is what this is shown is that there is still an under current to present when against president michael and his policies. those have been passed the reform as well as those he's attempted to pass to the front. and i bet 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, assaulted with 2 individuals in the south of france, now under arrest, wound full violence against the person holding public authority. you 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 prisons social every weeks, the new york case worker to protest against my trunk more and more people in france are very angry against the french president because they think the reforms. i'll not to just use equity. the chrome 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 period president. because we want a president for all people, not for the reach people. the days of small e country standing up to the big powers could soon be over. germany's foreign minister wants to silence dissenting voices of the lights 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 the 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 can extract police 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. and the reason is stating victor, all bands being too overzealous when it comes to the use of this v t. so hungry use the veto 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 nicks the, another statement from the european union, calling for a, a cease fire 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 to 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 hides, 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 old. 27 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 states 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 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 and know the thing that's worth noting in order to get what mr. moss would like. it would require all $27.00 member states to sign off on getting rid of the v. so if you listen to what victor all been and hungry has to say just to what mr. muff proposed. we can see that happening anytime soon. now political in communications consultant damian wilson believe 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 large notion like germany, like france will just bully 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 that 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 a user 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 law and what that they think they deserve to quality activists in the united states have found a new way of getting rich by telling white women how racist they are. they are organizing special dinners where their hosts coff up large sums of money for the privilege of being lectured ortiz, 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 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 de la weapon. white people would rather die than tell the truth about white supremacy racism and their 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 how race to dinner was started. the format of the dinner goes like this, a group of white women pay $5000.00 for the event, which is hosted at one of their houses. once they're done counting their piles of cash, jackson and 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 and outreach 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 . it's their 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 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 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's, the fencing with their white gill, the crazy 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 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. several republican lawmakers have written a letter to the u. s. attorney general calling for journalists to be protected from n t for a tax. it comes after journalist and author, andy. no, was reportedly attacked by the anarchist group and late may the bite in 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 assaulted while attending a 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 a nearby hotel. and it's not the journalist's 1st run in with the group in 2019 and key for members poured a milk shake over. know,

as he was reporting on clashes between the far left activists and far right extremists of the proud boys. he also says he suffered a brain hemorrhage after what he called a mob beating. and his testimony to congress earlier this year. and you know, said that n t for violence is often overlooked since 2016, i witnessed how violent extreme this from antique and others have made political violence on the street from my home city. but now, local politicians turned a blind eye to the violent because they believed me 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 political commentator lauren chen says she's not expecting the binding ministration to take any steps to protect journalists from n t for people like joe biden, a o c, they're not going to be speaking out against anti but violence because they know

that ultimately doing so would only serve to alienate their base and their voters last year and people 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 6th, when the right wing protestors on the capital, i mean and keep a, 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 overhead right when violence, when it does happen, and she'll get me wrong. it's condemned will. well, i do not support that, but it is at the very least to the critical for people like joe biden. she take a strong stand against things like the january 6 event, while thing absolutely nothing about the ongoing turmoil in orland 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. so in other news, western european countries are reportedly accusing grace of failing to hold onto

the migrants, arriving on its shores. 6 nations led by france and germany, a reportedly written to the european commission. they say that after being granted asylum in 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 for failing to provide adequate conditions for migrants and allegation that athens denies. some national codes consider that greece is not ensuring that these persons i given suitable accommodation and provided with the minimum level of physical subsistence grease 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 floats. keeping illegal migrants out of the european union is partly the

job of front tx, the agency charged with securing the external border. 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 that when we found that this is even more wiring to tie one front tech's has been given added responsibilities. now front tech has responded to those claim saying it's quote, to undergoing a massive transformation that would have challenged any organization, but that it's aware that improvements are needed. notice murray ass is a greek member of the european parliament and he told us that athens has no control or refugees, legally leave the country and try to sell settle elsewhere in the u. the problem is

that there are some just one course excepted 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 gentleman quotes. and this has nothing to do with me. and furthermore, you should take into account that the frown said gentlemen, in the netherlands and those from belgium, they were obliged to so i, by the, by the location system. it's the problem with their 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 front big. so that's it. working great, in the case of the island of sub was there are 2 more from the deadman the course, but the role and so they,

they tried to do their job. and i see there are many people waiting for working for front runner that says should the again, should make if you should do its job better. but the nature of the european union that gave from the it's not the initial british prime minister of canada, has condemned what he's called a cowardly terrorist attack. after a driver and a pickup truck mowed down a muslim family in ontario on 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, a man and

a teenage girl spending 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 and the critical condition and the suspect, a 20 year old man named by police as nathaniel weltman, was arrested in a shopping center shortly after. the incident has been charged with 4 counts of murder and one of attempted murder. the family that was targeted immigrated from pakistan 14 years ago. residents have set up a makeshift memorial for them next to the local mosque. and the suspect has no prior criminal record. and is not known, but to be a member of any hate group earlier anti racism actress, 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 a motivated incident. so,

you know, it's a 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, enslaving people. going to china, where there have been reports of a massive explosion and fire at a polysilicon plans 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. is currently no information on the possible number

of casualties. but the fire could have implications for the global semiconductor industry, which already is in a severe shortage. of course, bring you the latest as this developing story continues to develop. 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 named problem properties, 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 8 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 its colliding. it took almost an entire day for firefighters to contain the blaze with 72 people losing their lives. ortiz shoddy edwards dashti, looks at how the government is moving forward from that tragedy. almost 4 years on from the grandfather's how tragedy the government is still trying to learn from 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, 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 painful when he watches. so now you know, our service charges have, you know, fire off the church. we are facing another bill of so far. they sees 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,

tyler tragedy that came the lives of 72. from 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, $6000000.00 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 have 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'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 conservatives

voted it 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 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 building. unsurprisingly, then closing outrage among those affected. 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 was publicly available. you know, you might get to build in the housing authority and yet,

muncie by the rhetoric can change and you will be liable for the costs that we now pay 61000 pounds a week for thanks for 75 patrols, certainly not in the interest of the british economy in regards to received by it effects the maybe one of the buildings that have the issue. they will think it's okay. i will be there for the new build. if we can prove from all of the people are registered in buildings on new build, 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 bed at night. scared is another tragedy. a simply waiting to happen. to edit all see london for more information on your top news 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
