a man with a vision for europe french president manuel mccollum convinced european cities the continent is in danger in his latest pro european initiative the french president has addressed europeans directly in major newspapers across all twenty eight a few members states the raft of proposals is directed against nationalism and calls for a european or thore to protect democracy a statement by german chancellor angela merkel spokes person said berlin supports the quote lively discussion about the orientation of the e.u. of the german parties were notably more critical but welcomed micron's principle campaign. is tight i don't you go into every sentence or project but the core idea is that we need to change europe to maintain the peace project that's essential and we see that just like mccrone and with just three months to go until a new citizens head to the polls the proposals have been widely well received including in germany but just tossing to. this is really about the preservation of europe and as i see it our democratic structures are also in danger of populist parties over this

thousands organizers had hoped for stronger turnout a show of force to answer president manuel mccollum's call for dialogue. it's good that there's a dialogue it's a first step by the government to go and watch our partner go there but has done all these useless micro just like to listen to him so. most protesters don't care much about microphones town hall debates which the president's held for the past two months more concerned about the police response to the demonstrations also a topic at the u.n. this week we encourage the government to continue dialogue and urge full investigation of all report cases of assess if use of force it is the images like these that have cost french police in a bad light. the police have been criticized for the use of rubber bullets banned in many countries government estimates put the number of injured protesters at above two thousand. but the police haven't escaped unhurt. some of our colleagues have almost been lynched more than fifteen hundred police have been injured in the last four months. the tension was palpable in paris today but there were no maj

and just shows bed access from mccollum road down staircases being constructed by the caltran project, through the great whites and the future stormwater improvements being constructed by tcdc to the site. and closer-up view of the plan. and proximity again to the torpedo buildings, potential to be a great asset to the activation of the torpedo building, when we're in a position to do so. i mentioned there will be a phased completion in commissioning of the facilities. the first phase is under construction right now. the second phase may be two to three years away, depending upon the proposed remedy that caltran adopts for the cleanup circle process. but again caltran is looking to tida to operate and maintain the facility and bata has agreed to reimbursing us for the costs. initially during phase one, we're preparing an interim o&m plan that's a year tenderloin year agreement. and we would adapt that as we go forward and then moving to a longer-term agreement once we have some experience with the site. and the final improvements are in place. so as i said, the next month or two, we e

years we have i go to governor doyle at the time i go to the attorney general i don't even bother to mccollum but this is the contract for billboard that owning the already ran it and i had to resort to full page ads in newspapers and the boards to get her justifiable but the city settled out of court with bell's family mychal bell's father his use of the settlement money to put up billboards around the state calling for a change in the way these investigations are handled backing a bill that would require officer involved deaths to be reviewed by an independent authority. to do. what profession is fine and asking himself you cannot have colleagues and asking colleagues and think you're going to get an objective report you're not and there's no profession on earth who can do it so why would we expect that of law enforcement when the stakes are so high. the law had just passed and john trey hamilton case happened a week later and i don't think the city was ready for the new laws require that it be an all. site agency other than the marquis police department to investigate the evidence to inter

expected to get over a third of ballots in italy the french national rally is projected to be present mccollum's ruling party in poland the law and justice party is on course to get as much as forty two percent of the vote when the poll comes as a shock german report claims that authorities have failed to respond to tip offs of war criminals have arrived in the country posing as refugees from twenty four to last year it said that just one hundred twenty nine of five thousand suspected cases were in s. the case it. let's go live now to geo political analyst consultant dr reiner ruffo's for his take good to see you again if we start with the polls predicting large right wing gains in e.u. parliamentary elections runner how significant is it if it happens. well i think we can expect a significant impact i reckon but i would say we have to also analyze why. these parties are supposed to gain more votes in the. before the elections in the past two years we have seen a process where european institutions show that they actually failed for example in terms of protecting the borders of the schengen area

it to a withdrawal of article fifty the ball is in britain's court and france's president manuel mccollum warns that e.u. countries contemplating similar moves. should take note little exceed that means you need a record that is in my opinion not a matter of technical negotiation but above all a political lesson will do for pretty to reject europe without having a plan in place leads to a dead end. mendelian us at least she doesn't have this problem for the icelandic prime minister the e.u. still remains a win win situation. because what the public face will is in brussels she says the e.u. leaders are now looking to london to decide finally on the way forward that leaders head to reason may in here for an hour and a half that's a long time and asked her over and over again what is your plan b. if you parliament reject the deal again what will you do and she didn't have a single answer which is again then everybody found pretty annoying and so now in london there seems to be a certain amount of movement and everybody here will be quite happy to see that because now there seems to have bee

took part in the marches across the country including four thousand in paris on friday president mccollum again a peel the for call me to avoid some of the violence seen in previous weeks police used water cannons against to the protesters and made some arrests but once again as a grassroots rally over fuel prices has long since have broadened into wider anger at the president's handling of the because. of the capacity they should at least meet one of our demands to show they are listening to us that we are not doing this for nothing that fuel prices are rising and they were supposed to be frozen employer prices are increasing in the supermarkets to ensure ten percent on products it's the opposite of what we want. well that's what we want them to give the purchasing power back to the people at the lower fat on essential crowd is the grandest the citizens initiative referendum those are the two essential demands as long as they don't give us that we will not stop. time such as this that people in difficult in this people who have a hot time surviving on past salaries i think off constant a

of the from the manhattan district attorney you know there is no reason for donald trump to get mccollum and afford out of jail he is going to benefit is is should have flipped when he had the chance or should have told the truth to the special counsel when he had the chance these charges might have been levied against him had he been seen to be somebody who had remorse and was cooperating with authorities so i don't think that triple pardon him but the new york matter has to go to trial it does but right now from the from the initial reading that i've done on it it looks like a very open and shut case in terms of the way he misrepresented a value of his assets in order to get these mortgages for these apartments that he was purchasing trends says he's going to rough go if tim does. what will be the reaction of the congressional republicans and his base. well his base in the congressional republicans will look at that pardon as part of trump saying oh it's all a witch hunt it's all fake it's all phony but the reality is i think he'll pay a price.

being basically connected to the wife beautifully did she have to i mean i hate to put it in such mccollum terms but does he have to die before real political change because i don't think it's going to be because flicka we have a system of competing cliental this networks and beautifully come managed to kind of maneuver or marginalize. over some of these other networks and i think now we have the other networks struggling to come back so i think this is what some of the protesters very well understand that if they want system change. because leaving or being forced to leave is not going to to change the system at all you have a very young population that one would think that that would be a good omen for the future of the country is well you have economic you have of course the problem of unemployment that you have everywhere but you see you see a very mature and very interesting young population that has the collective experience or memory of the civil war they didn't experience themself but it is in the collective memory so this is also one of the reasons they have been so constructive i

speech has left members of the jewish community fearing for their safety french president manuel mccollum has made a very public show of condemning the crimes which include vandalism of cemeteries online harassment and physical attacks but the public outcry has done little to address the underlying problem as catherine martin reports many jews living in france increasingly feel under threat. good neighbor move a good look at your door those of us are going to do without it if i were you benefited us a car is not a handle that's not so after a lunch alone is preparing for shabat it's friday and tonight he's meeting other members of his jewish congregation together they are going to read the sabbath prayer as the thirty four year old is an active member of the jewish community here in paris being jewish is important to him but so is being french that's why the increase in violence disturbs him so much to both bodies and cities with their insults vandalism and sometimes even cases of murder for us that means staying aware and alert and always keeping an eye out we wouldn't have to do that if

realized that the year possibly repair for the people that not just for the governments and i think mr mccollum slightltly living am. in sort of the twentieth century version of europe. then it shows your opening statement suggests that you don't think president macro will achieve his goal of mobilizing citizens. across europe you seem to think that his vision is counterproductive -- it at least in the view of many eastern europeans why is that. he's president of phones and his first task is to mobilize these all citizens to support the support on marcia he's he's political party in may in the european parliament elections. so far the hope he has not been tested successfully mobilising actually -- his old motor's potential voters and i think the projection forty of his party at your productions said the twenty two any pc. which will put him not even among the top three political parties in europe so my question would. what is actually political relevance of it who could be his allies and how strong the decision will be? in terms of representation in the very divided and fragmented european parl

think they knew there was something coming but he didn't discuss the details of this plan because mccollum learned that if you want to change something in europe you have to move and you cannot wait for everybody it. is no surprise no real surprise in the things he's proposing and some reactions already from the finnish prime minister and the budget and prime ministers in tweeds they say they brought the support what marco is asking for right has let's come to you now you're tracking this story here in berlin has there been any reaction from the politicians here. yes there has a government spokesman speaking for angela merkel's government has said that the government welcomes robust discussion about the role of the european union ahead of these european elections at the end of may they've also been reactions from various other political parties welcoming this discussion welcoming the proposal set mccraw has put forward the only negative reaction not surprisingly has come from the far right wing party in germany the alternative for germany which has said that if any of these ideas of micro

pretty decent gains and while he hasn't got the support of key allies within the european union mccollum's dream of a new european or in a sense may well remain just a dream peter all of the people in well be back in a couple of minutes after this break. seem wrong. but i'll. just tell all. any ol yet to shape out these days because etiquette and engagement equals betrayal. when something is find themselves worlds apart. just in the common ground. whether you're for or against the venezuelan government for or against socialism it is obvious the mainstream media are committing a lot of journalistic malpractise once again mainstream media echo the policy preferences of those in power if it comes to still another military intervention will the media be held responsible. and. welcome back to the program protests erupted overnight in the venice walen capsule caracas west supporters of the country's opposition leader clashed with police. thank you. if the unrest started after people gathered in a western district of the city as you can see here they were throwing stones at the police people were

realized that europe us we were there for the people not just for the governments and i think mr mccollumslightly living in sort of the twentieth century version of europe. your opening statement suggests that you don't think the president will achieve his goal of mobilizing citizens across europe you seem to think that his vision is counterproductive it at least in the view of many eastern europeans why is that he's president of friends of his first task is to mobilize his own citizens to support the to support a marshall plan he's he's put a party in may in the european parliament elections so far the hope he has not been does that successful in mobilising actually. he's old walters potential voters and i think the projection for him is part of european elections stanza twenty two pct which will put him even among the top three political parties in europe so my question would be with all these great visions and auditorium pop ups what is actually political relevance over who could be his allies and how strong this vision will be in terms of representation in a very divided and fragmente

be the basis on which states tension would be granted really heard heads of state like president mccollum say you know i'm not just going to extend article fifty without a good reason so i think it's a it's over confident of the british parliament to presume that they vote for an extension and therefore it goes you know the extension has passed. i think the past several months we've talked about every quest for an extension being being passed we've treated it as a given but i would rather longer a given right because the european union is going to say to the u.k. if you want more time tell us why and what you're going to do with it this is why we're going to have to see parliament try to start coming there being some cross party agreement on what they want and that will start tomorrow there will be more amendments tabled it will be sitting there watching what m.p.'s will like them or they won't like box to reason may as i say it's still going to come back with again next. and it may be she she still defeated yesterday five hundred forty nine votes it could be that she gets more support sh

we supported the hr mccollum bill on lobby day on capitol hill. in general, quoting the einstein called action, "the world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people that don't do anything about it." to me that is a called action. it means being active and not just bandaging the ones but taking direct action to prevent injustices and human rights abuses from happening in the first place. they should not be awarded but punished and the best nonviolent punishment option in the case of palestine is boycotting and sanctions. it worked to peacefully at the and -- end the part tied in africa and they can use it to end the apartheid in palestine but we need to have her free speech to achieve that on the grassroots local level. that is all i have. thank you. >> [ applause ]. >>> james metts, retired acting engineer and inspired by a community discussion of the sandy tolan book, the lemon tree, he and his wife are joined with another couple that cofounded peace in israel palestine. in 2016 the rp ip join

i'm proud to lead this legislation with congresswoman betty mccollum. mr. speaker, the community services block grant traces its roots back more than 50 years ago to the economic opportunity act of 1964. this act established local community action agencies to help people identify why people were in poverty and how to address it using public and private resources and partnerships. virtually every country in america has a community action that -- every county in america has a community action agency. they act as a safety net for low-income individuals and families. more importantly they help to create opportunities to raise people out of poverty. from poverty to independence. the community services block grant is the only federal program with the explicit goal of reducing poverty regardless of its cause. unfortunately, this program has not been re-authorized in more than 20 years which is unacceptable. it's time to re-authorize the community services block grant and urge all my colleagues to co-sponsor and support this bill. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield ba
