22 and you are the largest international congress on make. it said he development the french president gets slapped right in the face while trying to get up close and personal with a crowd of supposing supporters in the south of france, germany as calling on the european union to abolish individual member states, veto power and foreign policy ultimately, meaning dissenting voices of small countries consume, be silent. the us vice president visit latin america to spread the word that migrant are not well thought the months of the biden and ministration denying. there is any crisis at the border. the folks in this region are thinking about making that dangerous track. you're not com ah,

3 pm here at moscow at a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international. we have your latest wednesday. we'll headline manual macro and got a rather nasty shock during a visit to the south of france, where he was trying to drum up support for his pre election campaign. he walked up to a barrier to greet guests, and this is what happened. 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 my phone before administering that all

my feet 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 an offense, it's taken 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. 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 own, 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 undercurrent to present to and 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 bet housings managed to do so or how to move them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing problem including coming from the government, the prime minister showing cas 6 saying that this was an attack on democracy because she was an attorney loose pass your said. so does it. democracy is debate, dialogue is confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreement, but it can in no way be violent, verbal, aggression, and even less physical aggression. we are all concerned. it is the foundations vote democracy through the head of state. it is democracy that is targeted. you're also, we've 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 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, 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 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, the holding public authority. or the slap episode has proposed an avalanche of

jokes and means on line with twitter in particular, seeing numerous political caricature as mocking macro. and we spoke to colon is alexis pooler, who said it's micron who's actually been slapping the french people in the face. which quite believe this is where a manual microns power lies. in other words, it's the ultra personal lines and ultra centralized power of the president. obviously there are still people who are ready to break through rows of riot police to get to the president violence. it's on acceptable and we see how representative is a political community unanimously condemned to slap in the face, but then a sense among macro himself represents violence because it's he who authorized the use of normally for weapons by law enforcement agencies. that is why many protests were injured last the eyesight during the yellow vest demonstrations. there is a huge gap between ammonia microns outlandish promises and what is doing, which is nothing more than a constant communications and marketing campaign. furthermore, he once again intends to return to considering pension reforms. he always has some

unpleasant remark in his arsenal. it is he who constantly slaps the french people during his public speeches, and now he gets a slap in the face himself, which of course deserves condemnation. since he is an authority figure, the slot made it through microns personal security guards. this is a lesson for all of us. the days of small e u countries standing up to the big powers could soon be over. a germany is foreign minister wants to silence dissenting voices of the likes of hungary, for example, by abolishing vito powers we cannot let vetoes be used to paralyze european foreign policy and hold us hostage. those you do that a playing with europe, cohesion in the short and long term. that's why we must say openly the veto moscow . even if that means that we ourselves can be out voted, while the german foreign minister hagen must didn't mention any human to 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. that this is di, corrected firmly towards hungry, budapest, and prime minister of hungry victor or bond. the reason is they think victor all bonds being too overzealous when it comes to the use of this v. so hungry use their veto just last week to stop a joint to use 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 gary in 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 wait and seriousness whatsoever. we will exercise our rights 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, meeting old $27.00 nations. have to agree to any statements already. 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 b. 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 and know the that's worth know thing in order to get what mr . man would like. it would require all $27.00 member states to sign off on getting rid of the v. so and if you listen, see what victor all been and hungry has to say just to her to what mr. muff proposed. we can see that happening anytime soon. political and communications consultant damian wilson believes scrapping e you veto powers can only be bad 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 the left have there are in 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 bribed and bullied by, by the lodge. relations, 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. us a vice president kamala harris has concluded her 1st trip to latin america. she visited guatemala and mexico, though not to the surprise of some the us mexico border. of course, this is currently in the grip of a migrant crisis. something iris has been tasked with tackling and asked if she has any plans of going. she became somewhat evasive. you have any plans to visit the

board at some point it's we are going to the border if you haven't been to the border and i haven't been to europe. harris's visit was met with protests, both in mexico and guatemala. the us border with mexico or 878000 immigrant, stopped in april the highest monthly total into decades. during her tour, the vice president made it clear that would be migrants are not welcome, but promised however, to some way improve their lives. on motor gas d, f looked at why not everyone is free to come to the land of the free. white house doesn't like to use the word crisis when referring to what's happening at the us mexico border. i mean, it is the literally definition of a crisis. that's what the dictionary calls it, just not the white house they prefer situation, but hey, they have a blad and that plan consists of telling the problem to go away. i want to be clear

to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous track to the united states. mexico border do not come do not come. the united states will continue to enforce laws and secure our border. if you come to our border, you will be turned back or they would, if democrats hadn't got funding to those doing the whole turning back thing button has sent his vice president cameron harris to to latin america to convince people to stay there to stop trying to end the states, and what better way to start a p r blitz than by handing out cookies in her own likeness? no, kitty carmella ordered and personally handed out cookies of camera, la loca

the that i suppose is where the fund ended upon landing. and what a mala, cabinet was greeted with progresses. and banners reading, cabinet go home and trump one awkward, but so it had the out cookies made in your own image. essentially, cabinet has a very simple message, will give you millions of dollars to stop the immigrants guatemalan president countered with a different, cheaper, and perhaps more sensible alternative. we asked the united states government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving the message change to we're going to re unite families. we're going to reunite children the very next day. the coyote is, were here organizing groups of children to take them to the united states. yes,

we often forget the biden and tamela spent the entire reelection talking about how much they like. immigrants will give millions of illegal immigrants citizenship. they said, we'll get with the border security and was, will jazz up the detention centers. i'm approving an executive order to began the hard work of restoring our refugee admissions program helped meet the unprecedented global need. it's going to take time to rebuild what has been so badly damaged. can you blame ordinary desperate folk for trusting joe biden, the capital harris, who essentially invited them to enjoy, lacks border security, the promise of a better life? because that is what the migraines heard. that is the reason why a 100000 migrants a trying to jump the fence into the u. s. every month. that's more than in any

month of trumps presidency. the irony, kamala harris, who, whose parents were immigrants from both jamaica in india for her to go to guatemala, super oppress country weaponized identity politics telling guatemalans over and over the day should not migrate in the u. s. is going to collaborate in building hope at home when it's exactly the opposite. any u. s. official or diplomat who arrives in central america should arrive 1st leading with apologies, in leading with talks of reparations for the enormous damage. the u. s. foreign policy. in neo colonialism have done this, is it crisis? so a situation, the white house prefers to call it. that was entirely avoidable. biden. and the democrats used my good, the g political tool to attack trump to win the election,

but somehow lose city refugees gotten to their heads the go biden. and alan t harris actually give a damn about them. but the more so the come here on the program on, on to see. so during the whole pandemic, one country in particular is continue to spend on imaginable sums of money on nuclear weapons. can you guess which country without the oh i o. i join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me when i was wrong. when i was just don't the room

yesterday out the thing because after an engagement equals the trail, when so many find themselves well, the part we choose to look for common ground. 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 hogs hunters laptop, basket bounty pale, and now the possible colbert lab leak story. now, why does anyone in their right mind even tune in any more ah, good to have with us today for the program. and you report reveals that the us

accounted for over half of all global spending on nuclear weapons in 2020. it was published by an international organization pushing for disarmament, washington and splashed out $37000000000.00 on nuclear weapons last year. that's more than the combined expenditure of the 8 other nuclear powers. it also represents just 5 percent of americans total military spending. on average, the u. s. is spending almost $71000.00 a minute on nuclear weapons. the crone of ours pandemic has done nothing to reduce the global appetite for nuclear weapons. last year, the world's 9 nuclear power spend $1400000000.00 more on them than compared with 2019 co founder of the stop the war coalition. chris 9 and told us why to him. the height comes as no surprise is a reordering of the world's system right now. when moving from a system, a situation in which the u. s. was massively dominant. what was called a unipolar world, where us, the u. s. is the unchallenged, please minute,

the world to one in which its power is being challenged, both bytes, but mainly by china. but also by all the emerging economies in, in important regions like russia, like and so on. so this is kind of reordering of the world system and any moment of a reordering is a very dangerous moment. it's a moment when particular local conflicts can suddenly take on an international significance. i think in those circumstances, you know, it's not surprising to me that we were seeing a kind of a re armaments or an accelerating argument of the nuclear powers. tensions are simmering on the israeli palestinian a border. on tuesday, there was a confrontation between the soldiers on locals in the west bank. town of beta rocks was slung and thrown in anger at israeli settlements. it was the 3rd consecutive

day of classes with id f forces, which responded with tear gas over the years. numerous palestinians have been detained and similar confrontations without charge or trial. among them a 17 year old boy suffering from a rare auto immune disease is the story picked up now by his policy. as an 350 palestinian prison is currently held in his reading administrative detention . this means that they have not stood trials nor faced charges. many of them are children. among nacley is a 17 year old palestinian boy was a wasted in november 2020 by the way, the forces and charged with throwing stones that he was released off the $22.00 days. he was been real wasted and taken from his house in the early hours of january this year and had been held in administrative, the pension edison about john. he remained free for the 40 days, then he was arrested again while he was at home. he was arrested while he was

sleeping at 2 or 3 am the stone throwing charges there a big lie made up by those who are trying to free my child. if a mob has committed a crime, we have a right to know what it is, only his father would talk to. his mother is too distraught. amal is critically ill and suffered from a re chronic immune neuro muscular unit. his treatment requires ongoing medical intervention and uninterrupted doses of medication. his family is concerned, he's getting neither amola, he had a luncheon that was removed, but then he experienced complications. he needs to continuously take medication and sometimes he gets injections in hospital. he also constantly has appointments with specialists, but then the prison, they refused to let them attend and said they will provide him with their own medication. sometimes they give him his medicines on time and sometimes they don't use them. so we'll blame these really occupies for any complications at the mall. might experience because he needs specialist a medical care. we are also trying with a lawyer to get

a medical committee involved him in white advocating for palestinian children are urging for his release. they say administrative detention is abusive, especially when it comes to children who are mostly a wasted patrolling stone. the little problem is with the way by which is as use and administrative detention against the ballasting and in general. and children and particulars is resort heavily on at the district of detention despite the fact that it would be used just and that a limited and expert, exceptional business admin sort of detention actually is based on secret information. there is no clear evidence of submitted to the court. it's general is ation of being a threat to the security of the state of the air and the area just last month, a mouth administrative detention what extent? by the way, the military court for another 4 months is well argued that give them time to

gather evidence without him out other palestinian children being held. being able to carry out a text in the interim. we have no choice but to restore law and order of determined use of force. there are nationalists elements here while breaking the law in fact, disturbing the framework of the state of israel. so in the face of such a threat, it is possible to use administrative detentions under the administrative detention order. it's all can imprison kind of thing in 6 months at a time, which can be extended indefinitely. but at the mouth, health situation worse than that could be a defense and television or the finish the program. now, with a quick, a global new snapshots have a look at this right now, a punch up in the bolivian congress. a templates were flaring during a debate on whether the previous interim government was inside legal of one side thinks it seized power. and a cou,

a large fire has broken out in portland and boss alone or less than 100 meters from residential buildings. a strong winds are causing it to spread rapidly with around 10 hectic currently affected a plains on helicopters are being used to deploy water in the hardest hit areas for thought. putting into a busy wednesday for your worldwide headlines here on the national. we are back at the top of the hour. hope you can join me ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it 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 i would take on various jobs

with artificial intelligence, real summoning the demon a robot must protect his own existence. was one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little live in real life vegas, where many say elected officials are controlled by casino knows the dangerous shooting. revealed what the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the spin machine to the american public barely remember that happened, that just shows you the power of money and 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 to, here's caroline goodman,

offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group, to the shiny facade, conceal of deep indifference to the people by going to say that 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 about people's lives being lost. the one of the persian gulf, the wealthiest country is, has spend billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. the wow, look at this. i mean, the stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now,

when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just a foundation and a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego the. for the 1st time in world history, the stadium will be billed from shipping containers. and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the turn. ah ah cruise

in unfortunately, we are witnessing a trend in media. they go from one news fiasco to another. the weapons of mass destruction story though russia gave 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 the this is boom bus, the one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm friendship or in washington coming up. just weeks after cyber tech jammed the largest fuel pipeline on the east

coast of the united states, colonial theo has faced congress straight ahead. we'll go over the testimony and the recent wave of rent where tax. this comes as the bided administration has ramped up its scrutiny of crypto currency for its role in these types of cyber attacks will discuss that as well. and then as we see it's putting so called mean stocks in their crop here. later on, we're going to break down the impact on market volatility. we have in fact, show today to dive right in and we leave the program with the fall out from a cyber attack on one of america's largest fuel pipelines last month, which created gas shortage is throughout the eastern united states and raised questions about vulnerability of crucial energy infrastructure throughout the nation. colonial pipeline. theo, joseph blunt, appeared before the senate homeland security committee tuesday to discuss the hack . just one month ago we were, the victims of a ranch were attacked by cyber criminal group, and that attack encrypted arch i t systems. although the investigation is still

ongoing, and we believe the attacker exported the legacy vpn profile that was not intended to be in use. i made the decision to pay and i made the decision to keep the information about the payment is confidential as possible. it was the hardest decision i made in my 39 years in the energy industry. and i know how critical our pipeline is to the country. we are further hardening our cyber defenses. we have rebuilt and restored or critical i t systems and are continuing to enhance our safeguards. but we are not where i want us to be. and the rest where attackers had gained access to colonial computer networks in april using a compromised password. blunt confirmed, it was not protected through multi factor authentication. now, meanwhile, officials from the department of justice and outs monday, they were able to recover a majority of the $4400000.00 encrypted currency ransom paid to the dark side. hackers. today we announced the seizure.
