4:13 pm
the judges ruled their attack wasn't rape because even though the victim pleaded for her attackers to stop she didn't physically fight back they were sentenced to four and a half years in prison rapists usually get up to fifteen years the talk is that very night the three. no three one of them say that the woman consent there are two they said that the the one do not consent but they were at aggression so. why because it was not threaten the woman was not a threat then the one who was not the numbers she did not receive violence in the so at the end the doctors decided that there was an abuse no the rape. sunday was international day for the elimination of violence against women u.n. secretary general antonio taro's said every woman and every girl has the right to a life free violent a. it's spanish courts received more than one hundred sixty thousand complaints of

hello welcome to the program i'm adrian for the good emanuel mccrone was elected last year on presidential pledges to create more jobs and improve lives but for many french people his economic reforms are a disaster critics accuse him of being a president for the rich while hosting the poll one of his reforms is causing particular outrage fuel tax yellow vest protesters in paris blocked roads for a second successive saturday to tell mccall that they've had enough of his environmentally friendly tax on diesel aimed at causing pollution has to go and so does he catherine stansell reports. a wave of yellow in the french capital the anger fueled by a proposed tax rise. for the second successive
4:23 pm
weekend the so-called yellow vests created roadblocks in organized protest demanding president emmanuel macron scrapped the fuel tax. riot police stopped thousands of demonstrators on the main avenue de sean saudis say from breaking through a cordon protecting the elysee palace the president's official residence. and the protests continued into the night with demonstrators setting barricades and cars on fire. the price of diesel has risen by twenty three percent over the past year to about a dollar seventy one per liter. micron's decision to impose a further increase of six point five cents starting on the first of january is the final straw for many here. the government takes everything from us they steal from us we have to pay for everything we are overtaxed and we hope that the protests
4:24 pm
will change things. the rising cost of fuel is going to trigger a civil war and i like most of the citizens we are already we are fed up with paying so much all the time it's become the new normal but it's just not possible anymore. the president blames rising oil prices worldwide and says the tax is necessary for more investment in green and renewable energy social media has primarily been used to mobilize the yellow vests they say they have no leader or political affiliation police are concerned that far right extremists make infiltrate the demonstrations and provoke violence three thousand officers have been mobilized in paris. nearly three hundred thousand people took part in similar nationwide protests last saturday she people were killed and hundreds of others injured. france already has some of the highest road fuel taxes
4:25 pm
in europe across vowing to face down any protests and press ahead with his policy no matter how unpopular kathy stansell al-jazeera. will across five year economic reform plan includes reducing state spending by sixteen billion euros so that france sticks to the use three percent of g.d.p. deficit limit for governments cutting one hundred twenty thousand government jobs by not replacing civil servants as they retire reducing company tax from thirty three to twenty five percent and changing wealth tax on property introducing the labor law reforms to cut unemployment and reforming pensions by creating a new single system. let's get the thoughts of our guests joining us today from paris is and good a chevy she's the c.e.o. and founder of terrorist that's
4:26 pm
a consultancy firm focused on global risks and strategic intelligence from sun via skype jack rowland a senior research fellow at the global policy institute in london also in paris we've got. chief foreign correspondent at the figaro at the daily newspaper let's start with you these protesters these yellow vests don't have a leader they're not unified under a political ideal or a union who are they what do they want. sure some come from the far left some come from the far right they're people who live most of them in the rule part of france and they need their car to go to work to go to school for the children to go to shop and these people this illusion the disenchanted disappointed if you like by globalization by what we call in
4:27 pm
french movies as you know. because they are in regions where you know where an employment is are i were you know factories have closed and they feel that they're less treated less well treated by president obama call. than the what we call the boob or the the boers who are boy the. people the middle classes of the cities where the real estate is quite expensive in front of the centers of the city and they need a car and it happens that. the. most popular. petrol in from the price of the diesel because of taxes have been raised by twenty two percent for the last twelve month so they are fighting against that it's quite. important for them to pay and
4:28 pm
diesel have been. raise so much because it's now much more tax than normal regular petrol because as you know it's much more polluting that regular petrol so france wants to stick with its obligations with climate change and so on and these people feel that they're not happy with the government to minute. taxes too many rules and it's a kind of revolt if you like against the government but the movement is getting down it was less demonstrations well less big less intense than last week in ok what will come back to that and the future of this movement in just a moment but first and good
4:29 pm
a chilean in paris is president macron a president for the rich is the political process in france cut off from reality. well i think that in what is going on now is the yellow vest people is the fact that they don't understand exactly where he's going first of all because he's not really fully well explained so there is a lack of. they're going to recall a profession that secondly it's because at the beginning of the americans election he decided to. taxation which was. for the rich people let's say so that has been understood as a signal of he will be the president of the rich people so that's saying that has not be really address by the governments because you know there is so many
4:30 pm
measures that have been. set up to compensate. taxations so french people especially middle class because the point is the people who is protesting i mean in the street now those groups are those demonstrators there are mad men most of them there and the middle class that mean those who can that been if it from strong measures assertion miseries and not rich enough to let's. find a way how to avoid some taxations to be to be frank so let's say that this population feel that they are. as at his has been said previously that there are not a listen by the government that are taking the not taken into consideration in the
4:31 pm
grow bore approach government approach and so they have to always pay they have to pay always but they don't know exactly. for what and where the money's guy and there is a feel also a day in the ecological transition is just pretext to. take it takes a monday to fear the. the state's big jets so it's one of the points. in and sun malo the president seems to turn to face down these protests what's wrong with his policies is there any evidence to suggest that in the long term they'll bring some form of benefit to the very people who are protesting right now. yeah that's two point that michael of the making ceases been taking over face that he has taken summary phones are true if entry payoff bring.
4:32 pm
activity to france for example the big issue at the heart of the thing that the french that these the prison of their reach and that. decide he's becoming more unequal is the issue of a british ng do way if tax and tax on and decreasing tax and computer gays down meant to be measures which could be good for it investment in a french economy principle or the trickle down principle but people don't feel each it and now in the mean why they see that there. is going down order time even though figures say that it is going up people feel that is going down with good reason because in france wages of remained very low did median wage average wage in france is around fifteen hundred jupitus and intimate wine
4:33 pm
prices increasing prices of commodities are just very important to people such as the price of fuel which if it did heating and their cost more taxes on pensions and pensions are going up as fast as inflation is plenty of frustration of that which have been latent in france for quite a while and it's these crises as affected people are more the lower middle classes not the very poor because actually when we see the figures we see that the very poor have been if you did from many social measures every day can interject just check is it a mistake it wants is this period of austerity then flipped over the for the lower income and lower middle classes going to be worth it in the long run our president macross policies going to work in the long term. it's very different is very difficult to say. to now there's been measures to try to improve the
4:34 pm
profits of the company it is because it's a social taxes which imperil taxes which should allow people to earn more when it but because of two now the french welfare system is being financed by wages and the idea is to move to financing underwear to system towards taxation true a tax down a c. is g. which is a flat tax on all incomes that up to enough people don't seat even if you just see the cost whether these measures like for example has been before that some people didn't measure the right whichever led to a lot of protest or a way or a way strikes and on their labor issues station business which meant to have a good impact but the program is are so that you could make situation into your area is not improving a year ago things are going when your price of oil was going down the growth was quite high in europe and now we can see the same kind of stagnation in europe us
4:35 pm
directly pretty seas which being at play in most of europe you can determine tortie impact on people and we can see that or of europe and the great dissatisfaction we've seen great the situation in italy we've seen it in britain leading to bragg's it so the problem is a problem which can be fed to the european liver of these. people don't see an improvement in economy maybe tweek up but it depends on so many factors which are sometimes outside of control of government yet we come to those factors in just a moment including the influence of the of the far right not only in france but across europe rhino. apoel for your newspaper on friday showed that seventy seven percent of people in france supported the protesters thought that the protests were the just the most. what are we to make of that on a another poll suggested that his popularity rating slipped to twenty six percent
4:36 pm
what does this mean for the for the president is he going to be a one term president here what does it mean for his party. of course it is very bad for him to have only twenty six percent of for purity but we do not see in france for the time being any leader that would be more popular than he is so he doesn't have the time being a challenger so it's quite an important thing number two he said that he would you know reform from you have to know that you know since the socialists came to power in eighty one. this country as not at all be managed if you like and we're just finding more and more and more and we have a country that spans more people criticize. the abolition by core of wealth tax but it's just a common sense decision because it's very simple all the rich french were leaving
4:37 pm
france to pay taxes as well and you don't because in europe you don't there is no contrary where you got a wealth tax so so it ought to get this french investors and international investors back to front. macko abolished this wealth tax which by the way didn't bring so much money to to to to the government it's just a common sense decision but this is this kind of in front of this you know worship of a quality. revolutionary man and they think that the government can't do everything at once government cannot so. what mcconnell said recently that he will not change is try to g. it will go on you will see i mean in three years and a half there will be prisoners will elections if people feel that referendums
4:38 pm
have really been made and that the country is. ready for new start with him they will they will they will not vote him out their well meant keep him but if of course you have like several changes. they will they will say ok this guy is not not enough for eighty and we will we will not keep him but you have also to consider that. in the last four or five months made several big communication mistakes in various pictures. and i can see like demagogic. selfies with. even with a guy was. getting out from jail and so on so this has
4:39 pm
also. been destroyed is president to image but i think it's not over i mean i think that. can get back some popularity you know. polls do not mean anything you have to wait for elections and could ritually to what extent there is all of this playing into the hands of the far right in france one of the dangers here particularly when it comes to next year's european elections. well. i mean the government has focused the latin the far right trends and the power political parties but i mean. there are not the only forces now in the political. spectrum e in france also the fire right has been accused to be too to be responsible of
4:40 pm
what what what happen in the shows or is it the violence and so on so we have seen it was obvious that we had all so far left. wing involved in the violence so let's say that there is no real. opposition strong opposition to to crazy them back home so i'm not sure that you know one of the slogan in the in the protest was to say that to vote to have a white votes. let's value politically that mean that's it's a way how to say that to remind my court that he has been elected sanctioned to only twenty three percent of. french people because it was the i mean most of the people has voted my call at the beginning just to come to.
4:41 pm
madame mrs le pen which which is the right right political party so let's say that in syria there is a chance to put to cool down the situation now because if the if the government find a way how to. speak at the same as i mean to show that it can take into consideration. what is going on now. because it's obvious that the spread this will not stop people has been pushed to to do that jack mccrum presents himself as a president brought to power the back of a grass roots roots movement a man who could heal the rift between voters and their leaders the man who could rebuild trust and democracy among those disillusioned with french politics. these protesters are much the same they want that part of
4:42 pm
a grassroots movement here they represent a spontaneous movement that goes beyond political differences at the moment are they they have a political threat to michael. it's not pretty to go fret in the region future. figures. can survive you know a president of the republic in france and it did for five years it has a strong majority in parliament he would be in. the next three an office. we'd be able to risk you to situation two m.p.'s crew is to do proof your visions of the people we see we know follow after the reaction to his speech on tuesday on tuesday night he intends to intervene if we speak to present is measures to try to improve the situation of the new and you know classes in france and to. try to show that these plant tools. plan involving energy saving these you know to
4:43 pm
prevent climate change when. we'd be explained more career and has been explained of to now when people are fed up it was just an excuse to raise taxes to make too had to state. budget requirements. so. we'd insist on the need to out of talks with the intimidate regrets to now is being perceived as too much of an technocratic leader with not enough feeling for about something in a grassroots specially in the province's and that's due to the fact that the spot is a new moby new party with lack of bus routes presence on the ground check a rhino i need i need one very quick ounce of for me because we're almost out of time here lacking as it does a unified leadership or a political umbrella how long before this protest movement runs out of steam can people's anger despite the disparate political views sustain it in the long term.
4:44 pm
thing that. still. i think that now it's looking a bit out of steam i mean i don't believe that it will last very long people didn't like to see this images of barricades on the shelves elisi and burning of barricades on the shelves elisei. i think that maybe you have other protests because. people like to protest in front of is a kind of tradition but. i think that if mccall is able on tuesday to show to the people that he has got a strategy a strategy on the climate change that he's raising diesel taxes it's for good reasons. most of the country will i think understand him and is really the legitimate leader of these is he has got no challenger in front
4:45 pm

during election time for politicians they can come here and buy their votes for as little as ten dollars of course if i'm a politician and i give culture and education to people i'm impairing them and if i'm impairing them they may not vote for me so that's why it's in their interest to keep those as they are. it's a vicious circle of inequality aggravated by a severe recession and government austerity that's left thirteen million brazilians unemployed and even if the next government can start the recovery process those living here at the bottom of the social ladder will be the last to benefit. no one will ever know how many heroes died here in the fall of. the chandelier as a whole like this broken this sort of looking bizarrely gargoyles staring down of what humanity had done to itself but the vision that will not be surprising vision but it was surprising that that could happen in baby. war

a lot of our reporting is about real people but about ideas or politicians or what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people if they so case something a. little more complicated operations happen if this is not an act of creation i'm going to move the walking. down like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave. some of us so stai risky to speak out as a surprise that. this job isn't just about what's on a script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now. not all the. tensions in the black sea

4:50 pm
tension was fought in the cash strait the shipping channel connecting the black sea with the sea of azal's ships used to straight to supply the ukrainian industrial city of mariupol on sunday russia used an oil tanker to block three ukrainian tugs entering the strait one of the tugs was rammed by russian naval vessels as shots were fired and the ships impounded several ukrainian saying as what wounded and at least twenty taken prisoner by ukraine's president plans to ask quantum end to take action. martial law is introduced in order to strengthen ukraine's defense capabilities i meet increasing aggression and according to international law cold act of aggression by the russian federation martial law does not mean our refusal to resolve the issue of liberating ukrainian territory by political and diplomatic means we have intentions to keep hearing to all international obligations including the minsk agreement that there is really
4:51 pm
a challenge in moscow bring us up to speed with the latest for us we're hearing that russia has reopened the kurdish straits could this help ease the tensions. you know that that's correct i mean today basically we have the morning after the most significant flare up in tensions between russia and ukraine since the days of two thousand and fourteen perhaps with the annexation of crimea two thousand and fifteen there was lots of fighting in eastern ukraine which russia but a significant part and but since then hasn't been too much in the way of direct head to head violence that changed on sunday with this with this incident or collection of incidents around the straits where we are at today is that ukraine and its parliament is going to be considering. poroshenko those recommendation that martial law be imposed that was something that never happens in the you know the
4:52 pm
darkest days of two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen but it's as you say the curch straits have been reopened by russia so as far as we know commercial shipping is being now allowed to pass underneath the bridge that links the russian mainland with crimea ukrainian forces are on full combat alerts in russia this is being portrayed as a century of political move by ukraine the petro poroshenko who is languishing in the polls has basically set up this as a provocation to boost his poll figures to shake up ukraine and perhaps to bring more sanctions down international sanctions against russia thank you for that role in moscow now in recent months russia has increased its military presence in the sea of azov that bridget brought using a tanker was opened in may it connects crimea and russia in the meantime russia has
4:53 pm
been inspecting all vessels going to or from ukrainian ports this is despite a two thousand and three treaty which guarantees free navigation for vessels from both countries they have intentions. in the region since late twenty thirteen as you heard after the overthrow of ukraine's full russia president viktor yanukovych which weeks of violent protests followed moscow denounced the events as an illegitimate coup and in late february separatists backed by russia sees a crimean peninsula since then sporadic fighting between ukrainian forces and prole russian fighters has killed more than thirteen thousand people while i speak to michael boss q he's a global affairs analyst his eyes cut from sydney british columbia thank you very much for being with us michael russia ukraine tensions over crimea have never really gone away just how serious do you think this latest incident is in the black sea could this start a new crisis a new war it to be with the folly of course it was a airlines has clearly been crossed i think this represents
4:54 pm
a new frontline and it is for a hundred year old conflict but i don't think ukraine is prepared for this escalation even though it's been bubbling for months in the studio because of its navy is in a shambles. president poroshenko. you know surprisingly reacted to this by you know calling for a martial law possibly starting as early as a few hours from now so it's a very odd reaction to what is happening but definitely this is an escalation and the ukrainians are very very strongly calling for the involvement of the west because without further pressure on russia i think it will continue to bring us the latest i think you're seeing reaction as you say from the ukrainian spectra poroshenko calling for martial law which as rory mentioned just a few minutes ago he didn't do at the height of the conflict over crimea in two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen what do you think is motivations ah here the russians see this as political do you think they are internal politics as
4:55 pm
they hear skies ukraine's response and reaction is concerned. well i'm sure western diplomats in kiev are about hold right now trying to figure out why this happened there was no warning of it look cynics will say that goal is in very very deep political trouble as roy pointed out because his popularity ratings are very very low and this is a good test for destruction because you know with martial law the elections can be delayed for next spring also media outlets can be controlled protests can be canceled n.g.o.s won't have the freedom of movement or freedom to do things that they once up so it's a very worrying sign and i should also add that at a time when ukraine is just bouncing off in terms of investment tourism martial law sends a very very bad signal to anyone on the outside to come to invest in ukraine or visit ukraine and what about on the russian side and putin side what do you think has led to this russian move now in the field what's the strategy here from
4:56 pm
protecting what putin date is vintage to putin he tends to act when the west is distracted for example trump is you know just directed by his own doubt following political fortunes in the united states also writes the debate also to protest in france so he usually strikes when things are in disarray and you know i think that unless the west reacts very very quickly and very harshly putin will continue to destabilize will continue to cause this kind of turmoil in a sea of hours of and that is going to put a very very big economic stranglehold on ukraine so briefly you expecting anything from the security council meeting later today more sanctions on russia perhaps. i think we'll see more harsh words and iran but no i mean look at the russia has a veto bear on nothing what happened on that side nato and of the e.u. have come up with strong language so has my own government in canada but we've seen
4:57 pm
that kind of stuff doesn't react to strong language sanctions cutting travel property purchases that sort of thing that's the only thing he understands thank you so much for speaking to us michael michael global affairs analyst joining us there from canada thank you and in other world news the group has claimed responsibility for killing a religious leader and at least ten of his followers in somalia the attack happened early monday morning in the central city of people say gunmen opened fire on the cleric and his followers after a car bomb exploded outside his religious center. mexico has promised to step up security at border crossings after hundreds of asylum seekers try to cross into the united states. mexican police say the group violently and illegally rushed the border on sunday u.s. border agents responded by firing tear gas mexico says it will deport those

involved in the attempted crossing of central americans have made their way through mexico hoping to seek asylum in the united states leon fresco is a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of integration at the u.s. department of justice he blames the trumpet ministration for the chaos of the u.s. southern border. i think this was a terrible. terrible completely self-inflicted and avoidable tragedy the strategy of the trunk of ministration has been to say nobody can cross along the thousand mile mexican border because they will not be allowed to get asylum they have to go through the ports of entry and then they prioritize the for danger you lonely allow eighty people in per day when they know there's five thousand people waiting so that they did give people a life that they could apply in an orderly fashion in mexico they didn't allow people to come in and kind of a i don't need to be a man or along the border the fourth all of this traffic the same to grow and now
4:59 pm
we're seeing the chaos that was true then you go where legitimate great travel of traffic is being affected by wires of the whole policy unless the united states work with mexico to establish legitimate processing center for refugees to make their claim in an orderly prize here or you have much more priority people seeking asylum at the port of entry for more people to process you're going to keep seeing these events occur. still ahead on al-jazeera fighting for land that group of white farmers take the south african government to court devising a new form and after brazil's foreign policy how the right wing government is stitching new and i'd say it's. from the waves themselves. to the contours of the east.
