most prominent locals of all phone and uncover some of the c a i guess builds onto the streets is over 1000000 protesters against controversial pension reforms, cost for police across france. that says the president defense is controversial. bill washington pledge support for creating a cost of a national army, a march 24 years since april 4th is bomb belgrade. also the power no evidence that the chinese government has access to that data they have never asked us will not provide it. take talks, seo testifies in u. s. congress, the chinese government has no access to uses private data as washington claims the

up is a threat to national security. with coming to you live from our studios in the russian capital, you're watching the international. i'm peter scott. here with all the latest this friday afternoon, thanks for joining us. out of control, that's how french people have described violent clashes with police. it's of a ropes it across the country. with some news outlets, likening the demonstrations towards own of a $1000000.00 protesters to to the streets against a controversial pension reform bill that would raise the retirement age to $64.00 from 60 to heavily armored police have been using tear gas water, cannon, stone grenades, and buttons to disperse protesters. ah

ah ah, the president macaroni has brushed aside concerns about police tactics, calling the protestors, voices illegitimate. that's all pressing on with plans to raise the pension age. but he apparently takes a different dance when it comes to protests in other countries. the crowd, whatever form it takes, has no legitimacy in the face of the people who express themselves through their elected representatives in parliament. revolution cannot be achieved on its own. it can be only conducted by the people in europe in the you must continue to support the hundreds of thousands of bell russians who peacefully protest for their rights, their freedom and their sovereignty. i salute the courage of the hundreds of

thousands of venezuelans marching for their freedom. in a very clear way, france condemns the repressions carried out today by the iranian regime. and we stand by these women. they are a sovereign people fighting for their freedom. listening to la call trying to defend his decision to push through this particular law without a vote. you think that the french actually had a chance to express themselves through democratic charles. now remember the several yellow vest protesters had lost eyes as a result of french police action. we're talking here about france, whose recent leaders have been quick to back protests elsewhere. remember that former french president nicholas acquisition praise the arab spring protesters a decade ago. and back to the resulting regime change of leaders like a low hall bag bo, of cook, dubois and lamar. gadhafi of libya and lights are cosy. michael has also cheered on protestors in other countries. so in the absence of the vote on the reform

itself, protesters have continued to take to the street to express their upset and how the whole thing has been handled. so parents right now is basically a giant health scape of trash from the sanitation workers joining this strike, which makes for convenience tenure for protesters. so there are trash fires pretty much everywhere. tourists are getting a complimentary dose of tear gas to go with their fresh bye. yes. and also a free french revolution experienced tour of the french capital. so the increase of france's retirement age from stick to to 64 years has been rammed through the french national assembly, not by democratic vote by, by french president emmanuel michaels prime minister elizabeth bon, looking clause 49.3, the french constitution. now that clause permits the government to push through new laws and very limited circumstances without any vote. and also cutting short any debate or discussion on the issue. so apparently popular protests are only

legitimate if they aren't challenging the policies and action of mac home, and is western bodies. macros, positioning himself as the defender of democracy. but all he's really defending is the increasingly on democratic establishment we're moving on now. washington has promised the self proclaimed republic of kosovo. it's full support in creating an army that will work closely with nate. so well that's according to the us. i'm busted it to the nation. a so be prepared to march 24 years since natal. it forces bombed belgrade. the u. s. fully supports kosovo, secure to forces, comprehensive transition into a multi ethnic professional nato interoperable tutorial defense force, proud of her continuous and excellent cooperation of following the bombing of serbia. the urine gave permission for a nate to lead international peacekeeping force to be formed in pristina, with the goal of providing stability to the war torn region. the mission consisted

of both nate, so unknown nato members, which organized several joint exercises with local security forces trust with non military functions. however, in 2018, christina announced his funds to change and transform the cost of security forces into a fully fledged army. and as despite objections from local serbian residence on moscow doesn't recognize castillo's independence and has criticized the western bombing campaign. in 1999 on the eve of the anniversary of nato's attack, russia's foreign minister spokeswoman cast doubt on the humanist reputation of us and his allies. under the cynical guise of humanitarian intervention for $78.00 days, nato aircraft and navy struck the peaceful cities of this country. more than 2000 missiles were fired. $14000.00 bombs and other munitions were dropped, including those containing depleted uranium. the same one that britain considers its standard for use the reputation of the collective west as some kind of peacemaker humanist, some kind of righteous man,

was forever buried in yugoslavia. they were saying they were concerned about the human rights issues affecting for millions in the regional problems of serbia and part of what was once former yugoslavia was battling. and i'm seeing also by the so called conciliation, army or kaylee, and us present bombs to be done. my fellow americans today are armed forces joined our nato allies and air strikes against serbian forces, responsible for the brutality and cultural. it's expensive. the proverbial shore to thought is war last 2 or 3 weeks, but it will on for 70 days over operation allied force. that's what they call it. it. the word planes carried out 900 in more air strikes during every day of 72 bombing conveyed, which officially claimed that we sent

a 158 civilian life. probably the more but sort of sources in the actual death was as if, twice the month into the police and uranium. and it's in, it says air strikes on a 5 year just by this i was showing that children born after it can suffer severe consequences of this, especially in the cancer related in the, in this is very little or so has been done to all of those responsible to be accountable for this position. so this is what we're talking about. several types of cancer leukemia, throat cancer, thyroid gland, cancer, brain tumors, bone cancer, and several other types of cancer which are caused by depleted uranium. the world health organization based in leone has proved this claim. they found the cause and effect relationship between cancer and uranium. when i see i am not suing nato

because of the financial gain, i'm suing them because i want to prove to the world that a crime against serbian people has been committed. the crime was committed by criminals in the nato alliance. i hope i will live long enough to see the success of this lawsuit. i am waiting to see the confirmation that the depleted uranium is responsible for what's happened to us. am all i will not keep on. we will never trust them again, and we will never forgive them for the children, the civilian casualties and the uranium no less. and i say they conducted the biggest ethnic cleansing of the serbian population and corporation cost of a home while it kept silent about it. and i'm here because it hurts me. my father is a wu veteran and i'm and violet, his sacrifice, everything for the state. according to duchamp brockovich, a serbian journalist, the bombing of yugoslavia represented a precedence for nato. the patch to the a so called the counselor independence recognition, the national organizations is closed. so this is the,

this is the alternative path. how do legitimize position of kosovo in international relations for us and nato, for the u. s, which was the global hagaman at the debt, the time that you m frame on it became too narrow. do that. oh, organizationally and the politically that the u. s. did not want to seek a brewer from russia, china, or european countries for the dimensions all around the world. in this context, context that the canoe was larry and it presented a president that could then be used anywhere else in the case of the ukrainian prizes. it will have added that the leave, the to escalation, since it will not force the russian a leadership to negotiate. on the contrary, it will leave the possibility for us. but as the process on the one that is broken, transfer of mocking the anniversary of nato's bombing of yugoslavia. you can head

over to our websites, r t dot com, to watch on documentary on the events of those years. sitting lights on the lives of people who came face to face with wall. today, our armed forces joined our nato allies and airstrikes against serbian forces. ah, the glove with them, a port button visit. okay, this will get this going from bad to worse grades night. skyline, again, little by flames. nato insisted it strikes against you, the sloppier would go off. mm. me as soon as we call sunny

me. yes. was you sure. your bush is the most because the director of the in. ringback ringback me in the news the chinese government has no access to the private data of tick tock users. so that's the position of the company's ceo, as he was forced to defend the platform before us congress. that's where officials

grilled him over face the popular could be a way for china to spy on us citizens. and this despite no tangible evidence presented to backup that claim. the chinese government has that data. what. how can you promise that that that will move into into the united states of america can be protected here. a congressman. i have no evidence that the chinese government has access to that data. they have never asked us. we have not provided. well, you know, i've asked that i find that actually preposterous. i have been, i have no evidence of this happening. and in order to assure everybody here and although uses our commitment is to move data in into the united states to be stored on american soil by an american company overseen by american personnel. so we have the ceo of tick tock testifying before a u. s. congressional committee and explaining the great length,

the tick tock goes to in order to protect the data of its users. however, these answers are not satisfying for many in the u. s. congress. in addition to that, there are concerns about problematic videos on tick tock depicting violence, suicide, drug use, and other harmful issues that a similar app which operates on the chinese mainland sensors. at this point in the testimony, we heard a rather harsh questioning of us officials where they pressed the ceo of the tick tock corporation about why a similar censorship measure was not being used for content directed at the united states. as was done with contact directed at the chinese mainland, now tick tock has faced a wave of allegations that it is somehow a mechanism for spreading chinese influence or spying on americans for the chinese government in 2020, at hired a u. s. citizen. as it's ceo and the company has set up privacy protection centers

transparency centers in both the united states and in europe in order to ensure the privacy and protection of its users in order to make clear their data not being used for some nefarious purpose. however, these answers have not been satisfactory to the u. s. government. us officials continue to hurl allegations against chick talk as we saw in today's congressional hearings. it's also worth noting that a 150000000 people use tick tock around the world, and that number continues to rise despite the heated allegations leveled from voices in the united states. however, a poll did indicate that 40 percent of americans would favor a ban on tick tock. now there have been a number of us states that have passed a law for bidding tick tock from being used on government devices. we saw the scenes today in congress. the heated exchanges that went on so the controversy continues surrounding this social media app, legal and media, unlist line all well,

he believes it's all social media platforms are going volts you data breaches, including those based in the us. but tech talks just been singled out phone because it's chinese and this c e o acquitted himself splendidly better than anything i and i as a lawyer, i'm watching the way he answered the questions very, very well. may i ask you a question? i wish he would have said, madam congress, a person may i see your phone for a 2nd? do you mind if i see it? oh, you've got facebook, instagram, twitter, and you may have this in that. do you know where this data go collectively? do you know where the servers are? do you know? no, you don't. there is, i don't want to say something, but you're to, a scrum is going on, right? so there's a, there's this idea where tick tock is the embodiment of all leave. why is tick tock

in this was? i think the gravamen of this whole story. why is it substantially and significantly more dangerous in any other application? why is it? and there are 2 issues, content and the actual data capture. 2 completely different issues, concomitant issues, important issues, but separate and i think it was blurred. i think ultimately the tick tock, c e o one on washington will ignore china's warning. the supplying weapons to taiwan is a red line that's according to the u. s. secretary of states on state blinked weather the p r c is said to you or to anybody that works the state department, any of our diplomats that there was some sort of red line involved with us stepping up our formal turf. now? no one to the cynthia ever tried to say anything like that of that's not something that we would obviously take into account. well, the comments come amid a cooling in relations between washington and beijing. according to the one china

policy, washington should only recognise and deal with beijing and abstain from formal corporation, which i won for washington keeps crossing china's red lines by supporting sy, ones independence. but the u. s. has repeatedly warned about it's red lines. it is seemingly failed, so acknowledged those of china if there are any thoughts and an efforts by the chinese and others to provide lethal support to the russians and their brutal attack against ukraine, that that is unacceptable. again, that would be a red line. what i want to do with him when we talk is lay out what the, what kind of what each of our red lines are understand what he believes to be in the critical national interest of china. what i know to be the critical, interesting united states and determine whether or not they conflict with one another. we cannot have a situation where a chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people. we have been very clear to the outside regime but also to other players

on the ground that a red line for us is we start saying a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around for being utilized. we spoke to alpha generalists on activist thomas fozzy, who says that is the u. s. the seeking to maintain his head gemini in the world. it just shows how delusional the u. s. has become the u. s. seems to think that it still lives in the well of the ninety's as world war 2. the u. s. has pretty much been running the world as you would a mafia style racket, you know, resorting to exactly the same techniques that matthew results to control. a city extortion, bullying, blackmail violence. what it hasn't realized is that that world has changed. now. what used to be fed very powerful kingpin that controlled the entire city has now turned into an old,

slightly seen our man that doesn't control much of the city. i am much of the world any more. in fact, controls only a few small neighborhoods in that city, namely, you know what the so called collective west. that's because now you have countries that have stood up that are standing up against the u. s. power. i will knows that the so called rules based order was always a u. s. or west based order that's clear to everyone now. and so, you know, it is idea that us still things that it can make the rules that can make everyone else abide by those rules as it has done for a very long time. just shows that the u. s. leadership at least is completely out of touch with reality. united states has again criticized human rights in india. so i think challenges to freedom of expression a so pray, think the democratic values, the bind washington anew delhi together are, sees india correspondence winters sharma has more details. biden administration's

india's track of g honestly seems a bit confusing. on one hand, the u. s. slams india for human rights violation in the country. and the other had, had said that had values it strategic partnership. we've the india appointment of the top you as to feel matt in new delhi, the man and a garcia t he stand your has been marked by a series of scandal, and he has been appointed at the u. s. envoy in new delhi. now this appointment took place after a gap off to we're, as that's been the longest gap ever, that india did not have a u. s. ambassador, but if was this man, and before we, before he got appointed done, he basically said that he wants to, in to fair in india's matter. never mind that his own tenure has been marked by a series of scandals. but i intend to engage directly with civil society. there are groups that are actively fighting for the human rights of people on the ground in

india, or that will get direct engagement from me. for me, these will not be after thoughts. i master's degrees and human rights international law. i've fought for human rights on 4 different continents. do we have your commitment that you will be a voice in regards to any discrimination against minority groups such as the muslim population within india? i would not only just bring it up, but it would not be something at the end as an obligation. it would be a core piece of what all the engaging my indian counterparts have confirmed with the boy he india doesn't need. does anybody interfering in a personal matter? and secondly, i'm from a man who was on years has been marked by a series of scandals. he was the mayor of los angeles. there were number of daughters organized against him outside his residence as well. now, honestly, by them speak of the u. s. ambassador to india is a bit of a question mark and the appointment diplomatic appointments usually don't, won't make headlines. this one did just because the choice off biden's

administration in the news, russia's deputy foreign minister has confirmed that fox news host took a colson had made an official request for an interview with vladimir putin, a, something that calls and claims the u. s. intelligence discovered by spying on him, yamaha with details. i can confirm that this journalist made such a request some time ago. our system is designed so that this kind of request is automatically reported to the presidential administration, where it's considered in terms of the messages. i wouldn't be surprised if the national security agency or the federal bureau of investigation is collecting data from your smartphone right now. well, tucker carlson claims and then if they touched his phone messages in order to sabotage his attempt to interview boots and in july 2021 though says he contacted russia's deputy foreign minister, but later received a call from a source who knew confidential information about the proposed interview,

where are you gonna do interview putin? why wouldn't had it set up? i was working on it and they had broken to my text messages, the adding of an essay, broken deer signal because they admitted it really with the u. s. national security agency dismissed, took austin's claim, saying he was never been an intelligent targets of the agency. however, one person accused of being a criminal intermediary by the an essay grey's own journalist on your part. i'm pill, when she says otherwise, the legal for the and as they to spy on the communications of us citizens. and pretty much as a result of the sweeping, domestic spying powers that were ushered in as a result of president george w bush's war on terror. those national security regulations were slowly walked back to the point that us authorities could claim it was okay to spy on the communications of a us citizen as long it was part of their overall effort to monitor the

communications of foreign government officials. and so in this case, it's possible that the essay was monitoring the communications of russian deputy foreign minister raw gov. but the fact that an as an essay whistleblower came forward and told tucker that the u. s. government was actually planning on leaking his tax essentially unmasking his identity as a u. s. citizen, a journalist who was in contact with rob cobb in order to embarrass him and, and do this for political reasons. shows the length to which these powers are getting abused us authorities are using these buying powers. they weren't actually interested in leaking this information because they believe that i or tucker, had in some way violated the law and had an inappropriate relationship with the russian government. they were seat simply seeking to embarrass tucker carlson to

discredit him by implying that he was communicating with a russian or kremlin agent, me a u. s. citizen who has no formal relationship with the russian government or financially or otherwise. my and alan that i work for the gray zone is completely independent. we don't get money from states or even state funded organizations. and so they were using me in order to imply through innuendo that tucker was somehow speaking with russian agents in a way that was inappropriate. and then by extension, they were trying to de, legitimize any views that he takes regarding russia or the current war. and ukraine and finally, former pakistani prime minister in ron con has claimed that washington's foreign policy is dividing countries. they made the claims while speaking with option buttons the on going on the ground. and of course, the full episode on saturday was his a quick teaser. in the meantime, i was it to view she gin being visiting moscow and

a boat for pigeon. and she, heralding almost a new world order, which seems to be very different at 1st sight to that, that we've seen since 1945. i see, you know, great changes taking place. i mean, oh, goes to join and russia is one because it seems as if the u. s. this policy is just pushing godrays into last a home just brought together iran and saudi arabia. i think that's one of the best developments. as far as buckeye son is concerned, because iran is a neighbor and saudi arabia is one of our closest friends for years. so them together, easiest tensions for us. we feel that it's a great step forward. but what i do not want these blas developing countries

like us, you choose either one side or the other. because india has, i must have my india or policy their ideal non alignment when they were born warren countries, when rocks in the us, in a standard in the making itself a country which is non aligned and, and then boy intent relationship with everyone. and that's what i won't bug you on to be lots of rough for this hour. for more on any of those stories that you've just seen. do head over all websites, all t dot com. money's be to scott on the back again in just over 30 minutes. time with another on down at today's top stories. thanks for watching. in the west, it's called a marriage of convenience, but for russia and china, their relationship is strategic and an alternative to the west so called the rules

based order with the west refuses to recognize the russians in the chinese practice . and it's called multi polarity. i am, my name is frank from a reserves and philadelphia got in the room in the age of 13 or 14. we were violent towards those people because we believe there were this race were here 1st, and this is our country being part of that movement. i got your sense of power. when i felt powerless, we got attention when i felt invisible, accepted when i felt level life after hey, is an organization that was founded by 4 o skinhead, neo nazi white supremacists in the u. s. in canada. and they found each other and they knew that they wanted to help other guys get out. was 2 parts to getting out of a violent extreme was the 1st part of disengagement which is where you leave the social

group. and then the next part is d. radicalization work belief systems audiology are removed. it was very impactful. when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story did nothing to challenge it. ah huh. the world now stands and a record 8000000000 people that it a 1000000000 people requiring a food, natural resources, and energy. however, the population boom is not coming from the most affluent countries. rather, it is, those regions already struggling for adequate provisions that driving the growth on this edition $360.00 view, we're going to look at what this could mean for the geopolitical landscape in the future. let's get started. ah.
