A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with me. Well this weekend marks the one Year Anniversary of the Yellow Vest Movement with rallies taking place across the country 113. 00 demonstrators have been detained in the french capital alone so far police have now evacuated the square in paris where the main rally was unraveling earlier one journalist also suffered facial injuries during the protests are seizing on off was that among the crowds. Well the yellow vests protest here at the tally in square in southern paris is still in full swing now the police has lately become more aggressive theyve been using an extensive amount of tear gas they have been using flash bangs as well to disperse the crowds now for instance what im holding right now this is one of the canisters from from the tear gas launched by the police at the protest as its things like these there are hundreds of these carried all over this square now here at the italian square theres a whole separate line of riot policemen who are tasked with one thing they are guarding this Shopping Mall because at a certain point the protesters they try to get in there and you can see the shattered glass on the ground over there there are shattered glass doors so judging by that fact alone it seems that the protests they did manage at some point to get into that Shopping Malls so you whole i whole batch of policemen had to be dispatched just to stand guard and not allow any protesters inside the Shopping Mall now some people have been injured and we saw at least 2 people with blood on their faces probably with busted noses some people have been passing out because of the sheer amount of tear gas in the air and the police now as you can see theyre using Water Cannons to disperse the crowd to disperse this protest now an interesting thing about it is that it was initially it was sanctioned initially it was authorized by the authorities but then the police have said that because of all the violence that because of all the parlance they had to they had to revoke this sanction it makes it really difficult to breathe so you can see all of the people with respirators like these with masse. Like these because well they came prepared theyve been saying that their strength is a in numbers and being the fact that they dont have an organizing body so they can organize a sporadic protest in any part of paris to which the police would have to eventually respond but this has been so far the most massive the most violent protest in paris to date. But whats the general feeling about the ongoing protests in france well according to the latest poll more than half of those surveyed still support the 11th or 63 percent say they dont want the rallies to begin in earnest again he looks back now at 12 months of protests. France once revolutionary now a catalyst for a few years populist movements a country where protest is in the blood and over the last year a nation defenseless against the yellow vests paris landmarks of triumph are left defaced and its iconic streets smashed and looted it even left the most jaded well shocked. My corner it come to power with his own no idea of a french revolution it was one of reform him for i would not to fall on his sword as others before him by not giving in to protest movement but even he was forced into a treat the primed carbon tax hike was abandoned he opened a state purse to boost low income households back or even he said he was there kindred spirit. Its been the yellow versus leans been in favor of higher salaries and the more Effective Parliament than i am a yellow bird. But for many yellow vests those promises were empty a little in a at 1st mccrone didnt give away they were in the promises and then he backtracked there was a tax on the anger continued to spill out onto the streets while some yellow vests were caught up in the violence for the most part to protest his argue their movement had been infiltrated by extremists. Its the radicals who go out for violence its an adrenaline kick for them it makes them feel good i suppose but there are also people who become violent because. They are being attacked by tear gas and police battens so discouraged theyve tried to discredit the movement by showing images of burning trash cans and cars and also to make sure that the rest of the population dont join the movement the police dont understand anything the government owes them money but instead of marching with us they hear the protesters what youre looking at the violence made a big impression on me the police against our guys i have been to every protest in paris and i saw things i should never have seen people were hit in the back for the forces of peace in order they have been left scarred by the by let us there was a police car we had been this huge protesters and the type of fire inside it there the french but its very very close to use their weapons to get out there was a lot of the tee off there was a charge of Police Officer so there are they were exhausted and they were there was a counter attack from the man years the protest and we almost lost one. According to this police union the problems were compounded from the very top. It was a mess. It was a mess. We had but. We had but did our ship there was an order of the referred to. But leadership in persia programs need meanwhile for latisha divel the struggle continues but shes also aware the weekly protests may have lost some of their initial impact so how will the Yellow Vest Movement adapt in the future to change the system she says you need to be inside it that it was when i decided to join the local team because if we can find the problem from the outside we should do trim the inside i also invited the other yellow vest activists with similar views to do the same if they become a counsellor or a deputy they will be inside the system and we built to change it. What ever your view on the Yellow Vests Movement one thing is indisputable theyve had a profound effect on france over the last year now could be a Pivotal Moment to see if they will continue to burn a torch under the Current Administration this weekend we may find out jollity r. T. Paris. 5 people have been killed and Dozens Injured during a protest in bolivia according to local Health Services supporters of ousted president evo morales claims Security Forces opened fire on a demonstration with live rounds. Thousands of mostly Indigenous People took to the streets in the central city of karbala previously 10 people have been killed in clashes across the country since the political crisis erupted after octobers election supporters of evo morales are demanding the resignation of the selfproclaimed interim president jeanine years was forced to step down on monday after weeks of violence triggered by claims that last months election victory was rigged violence looting and vandalism soon followed and some of his supporters now say they fear for their lives. Meanwhile bolivias selfproclaimed leader has been accused of racism over a now deleted tweets he wrote some years ago where on years apparently disrespected and indigenous holy day what a new year certain ists no one replaces god. We want the racist lady who is automatically proclaimed herself president to resign that is why we have said resign. That socalled president is usurping our country we want to respect. The editor of the news website opera monday believes the new government is trying to exclude the countrys Indigenous People from politics. There is no Indigenous Group at the age in her cabinet i think this is clothing decision sees a lot about him in the us and which values and interests shish poors Indigenous People most important. To ever moralities and to his Party Movement to socialism i think the new government to self proclaimed government is trying to put the Indigenous People out of the political game because it is necessary to boot evermore alleys out of the game and the Indigenous People acted by dis new government including by the army. Because Indigenous People of 40 percent of the cab give stability to dis new government they have to put the Indigenous People protest out of the streets they need to control Indigenous People they need to violate their rights in order to give i would create stability to the new government. A former Us Ambassador to ukraine who was a key witness in the trump impeachment inquiry has said she has no evidence the president engaged in criminal activity in ukraine marie you have an overt chance was questioned during the 2nd open impeachment hearing. Do you have any information regarding the president tonight is states accepting any groups now you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all. Now. Under scalable reports there could be some impeachment fatigue as audience numbers fact in comparison to earlier trump scandals. As impeachment inquiry hearings against donald trump continue on capitol hill the new star 1 witness is marine yvonne of it and she is a former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine who was removed from her post 6 months ago now donald trump definitely does not hold her in high esteem thats what he actually tweeted during her testimony every whim or even though of it when she started off in somalia how did that go then fast forward to ukraine with a new ukrainian president spoke on favorite play about her in my 2nd phone call with him it is a u. S. President s absolute right to appoint ambassador has now she testified that she was not part of the biden family scandal regarding natural gas in ukraine and furthermore she was not part of any effort to leak information from ukraine during the 2016 election furthermore she testifies that donald trump is intimidating her and that hes responsible for all the wrongdoing and so is what amir putin well i mean president putin must have been aware that there were concerns in the u. S. About russian meddling in the 2016 elections and what the potential was for russian meddling in the future. You know classic for an Intelligence Officer to try to throw off the scent and you know create an alternative narrative that maybe might get picked up and get some credence yes fitting in the name of the russian president is what you do if you want a catchy headline and the media is keeping up the hype the calm before the impeachment storm washington is bracing for a blockbuster day washington on edge all day for this 2nd day of impeachment hearings it was a storied day on capitol hill with the 1st public impeachment hearing of president tonight history on the hill his House Democrats make their case against president an attempt to remove the president of the United States from office now you would think that that would be front Headline News but is the u. S. Public really interested not too much 13000000 americans watched the 1st round of testimony according to the nielsen ratings now thats one in 20 certainly sounds like a lot but compare that to when former f. B. I. Director James Coleman got up to testify about how he was fired by donald trump 20000000 americans watch that thats roughly the same number as tuned in when Brett Kavanaugh was being confirmed as a Supreme Court justice amid Sexual Assault allegations you would expect americans to be glued to their t. V. Screens now there is an actual impeachment inquiry open after all articles of impeachment could be drawn up the senate could be faced with the choice of whether or not to convene an impeachment trial and the stakes are significantly higher but the American Public seems far less interested i wonder how Many Americans know or even care about the key witnesses you never heard of the master youve been a bitch have you ever heard of george cant. Are you watching the trumpet pietschmann inquiry hearings on t. V. Does it interest you at all. Why do you think fewer americans are trying to watch the speech because its its a fluke easy yeah sure its fake you know i mean like 23 years since hes come into power if you like that one can fire you for the way its going on and i think you have you know this is a big colossal waste of time. Period in which the bread here it was more so like you know sensitive to the public and this one is just everybodys either this or theyre so yes it seems that the donald trump is a bad guy a show has been airing from capitol hill for a few seasons already but americans are now yawning and saying havent we seen this episode before. Are to see new york make a media analyst and if it does say that the drop in interest when it comes in handy for us democrats. The American Public i think the public in general is getting bored with some of the narratives that have been pushed against donald trump have been shown to either be completely false or unfounded in facts but there are some important things that have come out one of those i think is that is the fact that well what for one thing she didnt have any firsthand knowledge of what this is about and she wasnt even in her post for several months and so the fact that she was there was just to showcase her as somebody who could say things that would maybe paint on a trumpet a light i think a lot of this has really been planned i mean after that you know these hearings started out with 45 minutes of the democrats of adam schiff and the democratic attorney being able to question her and again when we hear these questions well what is this is just praising her and talking about her roic life story and her parents after that theyre supposed to be there is theoretically generally a 5 minute recess or a break which turned into 3040 minutes and even if you were as it were turned in at the outset would have just tuned our become bored with that and but what the democrats in the house have done is completely turn it on turn it on its head they think the public is dumb they think the American People are dumb and so they just keep saying these things theyre making up their own elements of legal facts that are absolutely already solidified within the american justice system. To lead to something down on the cloak takes the facebook dominance on social media it will lashes out at the competition. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. Things. We dare to ask. You know world of big. Lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Welcome back facebook chief mugs like a book has taken aim at chinese social media video sharing platform to talk news rapid growth could soon overshadow his brainchild like about persuade the rival as nothing less than a threat to democracy well i guess you have takes a look at what might be behind the animosity. Social media its a market like anything else with its own competition the difference is cocacola doesnt come out and say that pepsi is for nazis and b. M. W. Doesnt come out and say these satan worshippers theyre a little more whats the word grown up facebook however says its competition is a threat to democracy went to the back to get the scoop knuckle here is of. Course. Dont ask me who are beyond this something to do. And i see 3 major threats until recently the internet almost every country outside of china has been defined by american platforms with strong Free Expression values but there is no guarantee that these values we went out a decade ago almost all of the major internet platforms were american today 6 of the top 10 are chinese. And were beginning to see this in social media 2 1st things 1st you know dads wondering how exactly a lip sinking app threatens the more crecy but just think about it a little longer. Another has changed it still doesnt make any sense so why would he say this. Now it does make sense facebook is eating dust in 2016 zuckerberg tried to buy musical daughter l. Y. The predecessor of take stock talks collapsed facebook walked away then the chinese borders and take stock exploded leaving facebook envious of the numbers that were being pulled in so as would any businessman zuckerberg smears it why are Services Like whats up are used by protesters and activists everywhere due to strong encryption privacy protections on tick tock the chinese are growing quickly around the world mentions of these same protests are censored even here in the u. S. Is that the internet that we want. First off mr putin as theres in hong kong a using telegram to coordinate which is a russian app yes they have before you Say Something stupid again but serious accusations could it be could take talk really be censoring lip sinking in hong kong the Chinese Government does not request the ticktock tons of content and would not have jurisdiction regardless and stick stock does not operate there to be clear we do not remove videos based on the presence of hong kong brought this content in try to but try to smear it so now zuckerberg trying to copy it and yes facebook has launched a virtual kloden of take stock. Now that weve established whats what we can ask ourselves if theres any cause left the zuckerberg wont use to get his hands on more money i dont know if he knows i mean do you think he knows what it looks like to everyone outs the c. E. O. Of facebook complaining about censorship on Mr Zuckerberg i will say there are a great Many Americans who i think are deeply concerned that facebook and other Tech Companies are engaged in a pervasive pattern of bias and political censorship in may of 2016 gizmodo reported that facebook and purposely and routinely suppressed conservative stories from trending News Facebook that has purged itself of conservative voices banned the naming of a trump impeachment whistleblower that sold out its community to the highest bidder information that was used by dictators to clamp down on opposite. And he tells us the chinese lip sinking op is a threat to democracy. Despite the delays and false starts britain is plowing ahead preparing for life after brags that the home office has even released an app to help citizens stay in the country but research is a warning that its vulnerable to hackers the tools we used to typically very easily accessible and require very little technical skill to use it means any type of bad luck to could perform this attack without sophisticated Technical Knowledge very personal and Sensitive Information is being handled and millions of people using it so you would expect stringent Protection Measures similar to banking apps the app is meant to replace a lengthy bureaucratic Application Form for u. K. Residency as of now its been downloaded by more than a 1000000 people it allows our pickens to submit passport photos and check the validity of biometric information it also requires they submit more personal data like names phone numbers and addresses where research is found however the hour plax protection from our web attacks which could allow cyber criminals to steal personal information theres also a high risk that hackers could alter data in the app however worrying it sounds to carry out all that a device would already have to be vulnerable privacy activist and Technology Expert bill new told us more. The company in question didnt actually find any vulnerabilities and we do not know whether there are particular vulnerabilities within this application what they did find however was that the correct procedures and safeguards hasnt necessarily been implementing this means that if the phone was already vulnerable in some way the application wouldnt be able to detect this it wouldnt be able to protect users who may be vulnerable theres an element of scare mongering here but potentially the scare mongering isnt such a bad thing because it can point towards the importance of having certain tests and certain breaka within the development of Certain Applications that have really Sensitive Data you dont get much more sensitive than passport numbers and photo id these are the kinds of pieces of information and data this is if it falls into the wrong hands it can be used very effectively in order to fight your identity and steal your identity and i take your thoughts on our stories i do get in touch by following us and thanks to media and join us again at the top of the.
