Together im going to talk to my children about Sexual Orientation id like to have that conversation with them one on one i dont really want to come in the form of a christmas commercial. Either this is our. Day of mourning here in the russian capital my names welcome to world news this hour 1st to france where after a series of horrific injuries against protesters its come to light that french authorities were warned of the dangers of using tear gas grenades against demonstrators as far back as january last year. The company that makes the military grade devices wrote to the French Interior ministry about the safety risks of the grenades being used by riot police. The blast a fact of the devices produced by an explosive substance are likely to maim or mortally injure an individual well those with intense sound effects can cause irreversible hearing damage the resumption of production is impossible without completely reviewing the production process. Well in the leaks letter which was published by the french investigative news Website Media pot the manufacture warms the defects in the grenades were identified but not resolved france is the only country where riot police use this particular weapon according to reports tens of thousands of the grenades are still in stock more than 500. 00 of them have been used since that last it was sent the tear gas grenades also been known to explode if its picked up its also caused injuries among yellow vests protesters 5 of whom have lost hands a woman also died after a gas grill 8 had a demo in ma say last year just be aware that youre about to see someone who suffered a severe facial injury as a result of that weapon being used in a protest in paris last month journalist julian told us about what happened to him. When he you know i felt a powerful way from the grenade to my nose and mouth and then i felt a strong blow to the nose then i heard the grenade explode i reviewed that moment frame by frame there really was an explosion a flash was visible now im starting to get used to seeing the flashes i have already seen the effect of such a grenade i think it was a grenade i follow the scenes such a degree of violence before particularly during the angry firefighters demonstration it really shocked me because i didnt expect it would come to this of course i will try to retain a lawyer now that i have been a kind of victim of this type of weapon i will try to fight against the use of july for grenades which are totally from my point of view weapons of war and against rubber bullet guns i was angry at the police because i understand that they have to defend themselves in situations of revolt but to use such powerful and uncontrollable weapons after all they could hit journalists or passers by. When other french journalist weve been speaking to thinks the governments using the grenade deliberately as a deterrent. But you also mustnt forget the use of the trash small rubber bullets during does the administration some of which have led to several people losing a knife more than 20. For you remember we must see that theres no political will to stop this madness in my opinion it is very cynical but you do it on purpose so you want to dissuade people from the most rating and from showing their anger and during this yellow vests protest that he prevented lee for instance arresting people because they were carrying swimming lessons in order to protect their their eyes from tear gas which is where your true bitching to most ration wife preventing it from being massive meantime mass industrial action in france entered its 3rd week on monday with transport workers causing severe disruption to road and rail systems nationwide since the beginning of this month Public Sector employees have been protesting angrily against the governments pension reform plans sometimes violently. Its a strike that paralyzed much of paris and further beyond and now its into its 3rd week initially it was called by public transport workers over planned changes to the Pension System here in france now this strike has grown in stature and support and the malays hey it is much more than just about pensions as unions are calling for another day of mass demonstrations the rail and metro workers are being joined to one school by teachers by. Firefighters and Health Workers tens of thousands are expected to protest on tuesday but perhaps the stalkers warning some of the problems the problem is facing have come from medical staff 600 hospital doctors have threatened to quit unless the government injects money into the Health System the doctors warn that budget cuts alone with bed closures and Staff Shortages are tipping the Health System over the edge and its close to collapse 1. 00 Health Worker has told us that its putting lives at risk. In particular we as Health Care Professionals want to be able to continue to do our jobs the way we were targeted and the way we want to without any discrimination about interests which has become systemic we dont have the equipment but its not our fault that we are understaffed but thats not our fault either i work in hospital one of our patients died almost a year ago simply because we dont have enough stuff to take care of everyone that was a year ago but nothing has changed since then strikes have been ongoing in the Health Sector since march last month president mike corn pledged more hospital funding im debating this is the 1st stuff but that was rejected by the doctors groups is no what doing enough meanwhile the government is poised to push ahead with its reform agenda particularly with the quality of the pension reform thats despite the continued opposition on the streets as tens of thousands demand an immediate. Well into further blow to the president must go on he has seen the countrys minister for pension reform quit. The high commissioner for pensions was one of my calls most trusted allies he resigned not just. Over the pensions for all but all through to emerged that he had failed to declare more than a dozen posts that hed held in addition to his cabinet job and that corn and his government remain locked in a standoff with the unions and neither side seems willing to budge so that people ski. In paris. But its not over yet either more demonstrations against Pension Reforms are expected later today in paris well keep watch on that for you here on r. T. International. Next americas Family Friendly hallmarks heavey channel has found itself between a rock and a hard place and its after the Company Division which operates the network apologized for pulling a commercial featuring a same sex couple and promise to create more inclusive content. The crown media team has been agonizing over this decision as weve seen the hurt is has unintentionally caused our mission is rooted in helping all people connect summer break traditions and be inspired to capture meaningful moments in their lives we are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused well that apology came after the channel pulled an ad for a Wedding Planning website that featured a gay couple getting married sparking complaints. Do you think so although could have made planning your perfect wedding easier we did. We all to couples plan our registry and invitations and get started for free its only dot com they have a spurred a petition by a conservative Organization Called 1000000 moms and called on whole mark to not show any l g b t friendly content on the channel claiming it went against the values of its target audience however the removal cause a backlash from social media and channel executives change their minds kevin owen spoke to human rights activist Peter Tatchell and media commentator gina luton about the rail. This was just a handful but sought to include women who love each other and that is a fact of life and christmas is all about love and coming together you know i can understand what the fuss is about you know if i saw a card or a verse or anything with a man or woman kissing i think beautiful wonderful i love it they were viewers they were watching it they were thinking hey you know if im going to talk to my children about Sexual Orientation id like to have that conversation with them one on one i dont really want to come in the form of a christmas commercial and that to some people is understandable i think doesnt mean that they were necessarily bigoted or that this was in any way antigay it might just be that they wanted to be the ones to have that conversation with their 5 year old is there any reason why a channel which describes itself as Family Friendly and it shows 1st 2 shows this time of year it once and children Families Together on the t. V. Popcorn and watch is there a reason to describe themselves as that they should take a bit more care not to offend people that may be offended most young kids get it when they see 2 people in love young kids dont think you know man woman boy girl that they think of love and these were about love not about 6 about love and i would have thought in a modern mature democracy we were a bit of a celebrate love in its many forms is the. Its the time of year where we want to be making political statements during you know what is a Holiday Season where we were sitting around the fire with our families you know having having a good time and maybe not thinking so much about l g b t or even abortion or other things that might be more of a political statements almost apologize for pulling the did they need to apologize i think they did yes because its quite offensive to say that you know an image of 2 women in love is somehow not fit and proper for a broadcast channel in this day and age. By putting the ad that was a deep insult and assertive rejection of the many same sex couples who do love each other and love each other just as much as any husband or wife you get pushback that is from a Political Action group be it conservative or liberal what youre really getting is a falsely inflated political pushback from people that arent necessarily your viewers when you hear the pushback initially from the viewer saying you know hey were were moms were watching your network and we dont want this on their my guess is that the majority of that was probably organic. Worlds Largest AerospaceCompany Americas boeing says its going to suspend production of its ill fated 737 max jet from january because regulators say they wont lift a flight ban on the plane anytime soon. We know the bruces of approving the 737 mark his return to service must be extraordinarily thorough and robust to ensure that our regulators customers and the flying public have confidence in this 737.

Theres about 12000. 00 employees at boeing theyre going to be affected by this but theyre not going to furlough or fire any of those folks for right now theyre going to move around within it within the company now with that i mean theres only so long that even a company a size of boeing can be carrying 12000. 00 extra employees that are kind of a ship to have nothing to do right now now shift that over to the smaller d people the smaller suppliers that supply the park suppliers for these aircraft that are not just in the u.
