Youre watching International Im whereas on the local thank you for joining us now in paris hundreds gathered on saturday for the latest protest against the governments pension reform plans in some parts the french capital clashes erupted between police and demonstrators. It was a strike by public transport workers has brought chaos to the french capital for almost 2 months now and thats despite the governments promise to compromise agreeing to drop some of the most controversial aspects of its reforms the French Parliament is due to debate the pension bill makes money. President in man well mccall is under huge pressure over the culture version of reform on friday night he was booed as he left paris this time with people chanting mccall resigned and some demonstrators against microns pension Reform School calls police into the hole to deliver the angry message. Was was such. A protest as a full load of microphones made to kate as it tried to speed away the president was reportedly with his wife bridgette in a red no color school today by Police Motorbikes journalist and political activist who noticed mccraw in the theater and film tim saying the event evening might be eventful after that he was arrested for being part of a group formed with the purpose of committing acts of violence and his arrest has sparked outrage. Meanwhile more than 100 protesters in the french capital blocked the entrance to the Iconic Museum people have joined unions call the union calls to demand the complete withdrawal of microns proposals but there are mixed public feelings about the protests going to come on that front i could you im happy that theyre defending culture i left at 7 in the morning from dish on where im from to see the Antarctic Division chicks a patient but its not a big deal because if they do not strike their want really be a lot for as we know it so i dont mind the strike im actually happy i supported them. If someone would lend me a hand im ready to break through the picket line because this situation is unacceptable i dont care about their pension issues. They are uniting and supporting each other reinforcing each other so thats why im here really is also called we are against it they should not be here. But this should be directed at the government who wants to force its pension reform project through were not the ones that are standing in the way were not blocking the public Cultural Service on the contrary were fighting for a strong public Cultural Service where you look at the support of the population of the strikers were very surprised to see the government maintaining its position is of extremism that is unacceptable for democrats like me who voted for manual micro in the 2nd round of the president ial election against. A russian programmer arrested on washingtons request once or thirtys are resorting to torture in an effort to break him alexander vinick is being held in greece on u. S. Cyber crime and Money Laundering charges now written a plea for help. Theyre trying to use torture and psychological pressure to break me they do not allow me to breathe fresh air the last time they let me out for a walk for a few minutes was on new years eve im a man without rights illegally imprisoned in greece for 30 months without charges they want to destroy me for my knowledge they want my head on a block just because of what i know and my technological abilities the case of alexander vinick is a case of blatant violations of human rights its an International Disgrace this man is been imprisoned for 13 months without a charge in greece hes not being prosecuted in greece without a sanction without a penalty without a trial alexander is not a criminal alexander is someone who has extremely high skills technological skills in blocked Chain Technology he has not targeted for any kind of criminal behavior because its very clear that what he has done is not criminal however what he has done is very very annoying to those who wish to control the economic. Exchanges of the people what is worse is that during the last days the conditions of detention of alexander didnt make amount to cruel and inhuman treatment which is a form of torture as we all know alexander is being denied the right to go outside his. Hospital room hes been hospitalized during the last 12 months more than 12 months actually and today his mother who came to visit him from russia was the night of the right to see her son. Well vinick was arrested in 2017 the u. S. Accuses him of laundering billions of dollars through do you took. Currency exchange and hes also wanted by france which claims when it carried out cyber fraud from his prison cell russia wants to question him as well now athens has already approved his extradition to all 3 countries however russias acting foreign minister has criticised procedures warning that greece has completely failed to examine the evidence presented by moscow and another lawyer for vinnick him a famous sort of told us why he should be extradited to russia. Greece has not only decided to extradite alexanders simultaneously to 3 countries but has also specified the order by which alexander should go to these countries the point is that the extradition of alexander to the United States cannot be fair as he has never been there and hasnt committed the crimes that the usa attributes to him work with new technologies cannot be a crime is specially if at the time of the activity the legislation regulating these actions simply did not exist. Concerning france they used only american evidence and investigators have never concealed it but today we know that france is not going to conduct any prosecution against him on its territory so the decision about the extradition of alexander vinick to france and then to the United States is purely technical the socalled greek trick is this to send him to france where hes going to be rejected and then sent him to the usa. The best ending for both alexander vinick and for every other party to this case will be of course his extradition to russia because russia is the place of the alleged crimes and because russia has all the information it is capable of creating joint inquiry commissions for conducting an investigation in any field. 7070 years ago today the red army broke the nazi siege of leningrad with the blockade ending a year later the vast majority of victims in the city died not from bombing but from hunger and hypothermia well any grad may have changed its name to St Petersburg the horrific memories still run deep.

Already you know after i buried my father i signed up as a nurse in the military Field Hospital once in january i came home from the hospital and my mother was lying on the back half life she said to me zoya i think im a bad to pass away i bought me patti said the market i sing theyre made out of the human dont leave the girls alone dont marry too young and dont cut issue. After an hour she died for you. At the.

It was the hunger it was unimaginable at the factory they gave us just 200 grams of bread it was made from strange ingredients some a drop in the cabbage others burnt sugar i dont know how i survived and i think god saved my life more.
