and that we've seen it in our grated with george bush sr with tom corbett of and so on so forth that did seem like the end of history as one of our previous guest on our jihad used to say the end of history well they're not meant to be in the history of all and if anything a quarter of century later is the liberal west that is facing a major crisis it's not declining but it is facing it's imploding from within and by the way we see these images that that you show on our network and i've just been in paris london and new york and i can tell you all three places are quite depressed in so many ways the yellow uprising in paris briggs that paralysis in great britain and certainly the obsession with russia and collusion and so on so for the united states on the other hand you know the moodies the cheese the putins of the world are on the rise they feel very confident at home they are pursuing their narrow state interests something similar to what donald trump is doing the difference is then at the time and through throughout many years the united states

used to be a catalyst right used to be the one that will bring if you want to talk about environmental talk about poverty talk about any longer the case not the start interesting comment here from one of our viewers on facebook jamie who says the u.s. has no legal and lawful international right to act as the big boss of the world anymore absolutely especially i mean it never had an illegal right to write a but but it gained a certain credibility and it did for some seventy years build an international order since the second world war whereby the united states is a major player and after the end of the cold war it became the sole player now i mean to be fair china india other countries the european union have a role to play this is a multipolar world design no longer a uni polar world run by the united states. president obama understood this and he was going to would grow in a certain way from you know war zones or so forth a little more softer prospects for the united states the present from takes

a completely different style the worse of this whole america first make him look more and more like america alone he tried to pull and i think he succeeded by the way just to be fair to the american president he succeeded in of course having a lot of bilateral share the likes of japan and the likes of more the of india you know they're all schmoozing they're all trying even i mean it was surprising to read today that the prime minister of japan congratulated the american president on his congressional elections and when they actually lost last sorry he's still able to pull. do you think they can achieve anything and when it's eyes will they come up with a communique or are we going to see the same debacle as we saw at the g. seven summit earlier this year well unfortunately we could say that at best and this is quite you know quite an amazing you know measure that at best they will come up with a statement so it's already quite a win that a statement will come out you know you would expect a certain rhythm but a very light variable is very light probably empty of substance

a simply doesn't have the drive and the teeth behind it to implement it so they might have some language about about trade some language about refugees some language about environment and so on so forth but does it have the kind of a elective we will do to put it through to the implemented i doubt it thank you so much ma and as always very good to get your insight on bashar a senior political analyst at my wonder shah on twitter if you want to follow him and don't forget we've got a special page up on al-jazeera dot com on the g twenty which we are constantly updating you'll find all the latest developments on there what leaders have agreed on the final communique if and when it comes up it's all there all the news out of when osiris on al-jazeera dot com. and we are getting quite a few comments on this story as you can imagine from our viewers raman here on facebook who says the g. twenty summit won't produce any results china is our again and won't respond to u.s. demand to revamp trade another comment from elizabeth also on facebook who asks actually

who benefits from this trade war between china and the u.s. i suspect there is someone who does thank you very much for your comments you can keep them coming on this and other stories that we're covering on the great today's a hash tag aging news quit on social media let's move on now to other world news and we head to france where mark or resign is a rallying cry of hundreds of protesters in paris angry about rising fuel prices. the demonstrators wearing yellow vests on the. new the iconic avenue in the heart of paris close to the presidential palace dozens of people have been injured including eleven members of the security forces emanuel mccord the french president is being accused of treating the concerns of the processors about the high cost of living with disdain the french president says taxes to fight pollution are necessary but those out on the streets say they are now struggling to make ends

gas but they're still very much of the rebel units still very much in control of this area we don't quite know what the tactics of the police going to be but they're vacuum seeing those thousands of demonstrators on the seans elisei with that peacefully and they've been moving in now and joining the protesters who hands out up to thank you very much. and so we don't know mass exactly you are correct yes yes oh yes all of the jewelry here well my showing all shades of opinions are being included but at the moment i will you know eventually. actually proving a real i'm going for the president in line wrong it was a great. hikes in the rice all diesel i'm fuel which was falling very much a person on the shoulders of the poor and those in the countryside and that is what

we've been hearing loud and clear here but the rules sources say it's an opinion in the us and the biggest cheer has come from the crowds here when they say my phone resides back resigned it's not enough as you say more than seventy five percent of the french public yet is supporting this this the sandia no need thirty percent or less i support our president emmanuel microlight is a vast nasm that he's got to try and cross he must be politically aware of the dangers but he is still saying as far as he's concerned these reforms will. continue but. the. yellow vests rebellion and so will continue gaining traction for the new year but across the whole of thralls as well i think we look pretty set now not only for a long day to day but for

a lot more of that as you say david and i hope you can hear me because i know it's very loud behind us started off as a protest against rising fuel prices but it's become much bigger than that and what is interesting he can't hear me unfortunately so we leave it there with david chaytor for now and hopefully we'll get to talk to him again throughout the evening here on al-jazeera as we continue to watch these live pictures out of paris and the so-called yellow vest demonstrations continuing for the third weekend in a row protests outside it off as anger against rising fuel prices have gone into something much bigger real pressure on the french president in mannion mccomb as the taito is reporting there so will my call to this pressure from the streets and changes controversial policies a very interesting debate on this on inside story laura kyle speaks with three french experts a very interesting discussion check it out on al-jazeera dot com. now if you're watching us on facebook live coming up a mall by libraries taking books to children in some parts of jakarta's poorest

headlines on al-jazeera and the stories they're looking at on our website al jazeera dot com the top trending story at number one iran unveiling a muted. the maid was shared but number two a report by the world city journal which says that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman communicated with one of his advisors during. killing in the stump and

at number three former us president george h. w. bush dead at ninety four. and more not story by god. lives are flying at half mast at the white house to mourn the death of george h.w. bush tributes are pouring in from around the world for the forty first u.s. president who died at the age of ninety four he was president during the first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one and led america at the end of the cold war and the turbulent period of the collapse of the soviet union a former soviet leader mikhail gorbachev called the late president quote a genuine partner bush came to office in one nine hundred eighty nine that's when the berlin wall fell it was a major symbol of cold war divisions and of the hard line between east and west it was around the time when gorbachev was pushing for major reforms at home and pursued warmer relations with the west in one nine hundred ninety one bush and gorbachev signed a treaty pledging to reduce crimes of nuclear weapons by the end of that year the

soviet union collapsed and split into several independent states many praise bush and his predecessor ronald reagan for their handling of the demise of the u.s.s.r. while leaders have been sending in their tributes for president barack obama posted this tribute on twitter saying america has lost a patriot and humble servant in george herbert walker bush other world leaders send their condolences to the bush family u.k. prime minister theresa may said his statement ship wisdom and friendship will be much missed but many people are sharing this a letter that bush wrote to bill clinton after clinton defeated him in the one nine hundred ninety two election he told his one time rival you will be our president when you read this note your success now is a country success rooting hard for you good luck. well let's speak now to robert hunter who was the u.s. ambassador to nato and is a senior fellow at the center for transatlantic relations at john hopkins

university he is live from washington thank you very much ambassador hunter for being with us on how to be relate the two things as we've said most associated with george bush a senior only term in office on the iraq war and at the end of the cold war tell us how he managed these two very important foreign policy issues and why each of them is so key to his legacy or we have to remember or understand that george h.w. bush was the last of the really great american presidents in foreign affairs he had trained for eight years as vice president he came in and a very important moment in history the most more important probably of lasting effect was is helping leading to manage the end of the cold war the soft landing for the soviet union as it broke up and the unification of germany in fact what george h.w.

bush set in train enabled the unification of europe and hopeful moment which unfortunately has not been followed through some of fantasy almost he had saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait and george bush put together a forty one nation coalition which expelled the. he iraqi dictator from kuwait right just coming back to the cold war and his role there a big part of the end of the cold war risk was of course as you said the fall of the berlin wall and there were a unique occasion of germany he twisted the omb of some major european powers didn't he to achieve the reunification of germany tell us a bit more about that. well in in the western part of it he worked very closely with chancellor helmut kohl of germany who understood therefore his country both looking backwards the legacy of overcoming the legacy of world war two but looking forward to having

a unified country he had to work closely with the american president and had a wonderful partner there now the british prime minister and the french president or more reluctant they still had memories and they didn't want to see a strong unified germany if they could help it and george bush said this is a moment in history and fact he uttered a very important statement even before the berlin wall opened in minds germany in july of one thousand nine hundred nine he said let us try to build a europe whole and free and at peace i was the first time in centuries that there was a real chance of doing that in peacetime and he pulled it off right and frankly without george bush we might have much sadder world today what about the rock war unlike his son he was able to get together a broad coalition to fight in that first gulf war how do you think he was able to do that. first of all it was an act of overt

aggression by saddam hussein against kuwait and there was a risk that he would go farther into saudi arabia into qatar and that he other countries of of the persian gulf bush put together a coalition of forty one different countries and this case he worked very closely with margaret thatcher who is the prime minister of great britain but he had a lot of support from everybody else and that led to this extraordinary effort to expel the iraqis but then he also understood to stop when he had to stop he did not go as far as his son later did all the way into and to baghdad which unfortunately on that occasion created the mess we all see today and he was he knew when to fight but he also knew when to stop fighting and pass it on to one last question before we let you go do you think it's fair to say that among americans that at least bush's reputation has risen consistently in the twenty eight years since he left

office and why do you think that is. well i think because he did such very good job certainly in foreign affairs and also quite frankly in that area he has nobody to match him he has he knew what he was doing when he came into office his four successors really didn't know anything about foreign affairs and unfortunately too often we learned a lesson from that thank you so much for speaking to us and robert hunter former u.s. ambassador to nato joining us here from washington d.c. we appreciate your time and read more about george h.w. bush's legacy on al-jazeera dot com watch political hanes obituary report on the forty first american president at al-jazeera dot com and in news just a in u.s. president donald trump has canceled his news conference at the g. twenty summit which was supposed to happen later today out of respect he says for

the bush family after the death of former president george h.w. bush so no news conference from the u.s. president at the g. twenty later today as we were expecting at one thousand eight hundred g.m.t. he says out of respect for the death of george h. w. bush let's move on to other world news and rate beaten tortured doctors without borders says these been a dramatic increase in sexual violence against women and girls in south sudan a northern region of south sudan where specifically m.s.f. says one hundred twenty five women survived a violent sexual attacks between november nineteenth and november twenty ninth that's a huge spike considering there were one hundred four such crimes reported in the first ten months of this year m.s.f. says some of the victims were as young as ten years old women were not only violently raped but also whipped beaten or clubbed with six and why force and robbed doctors without borders says there is an urgent need to protect and provide

humanitarian relief to children women and men in what it called a ravage region well. let's speak to mitchell sangamon now who is a medical coordinator with doctors without borders in south sudan he's via skype from juba thank you for joining us what more can you tell us about these attacks against these women why is there been such a dramatic increase in the number of raids in this northern region of south sudan. thank you. the events unfolding right now invented telling a group or the conti of it's very disturbing this very horrific like what you mentioned that over the last fast you weeks our image that came in better tong has been very busy providing a much needed medical attention and psychosocial care for the woman and girls alike what has the report that was that when nineteen to twenty nine of november the

number was one twenty five but in the last two days we have seen another thirty two survivors that have. that we have received in our clinic in brentwood town so numbers just on president at what's fueling this what many of them like you mentioned they were not there that many of you mentioned that many of them were that they were also beaten and robbed and they were like all the vulnerable position that they process where taken and in many cases in many cases the story is just very horrible in many cases that you have children witnessing the rape of their mother and of their family members and many cases have been reported. having a multiple perpetrators and many have have been raped multiple times poor tracing or you just coming out it's very disturbing i know it's very disturbing is there any immediate upon who the perpetrators of these sexual attacks are.

we understand from what has been described that it's a large group of aggressive assailants are brutalizing and assaulting women and girls what we know is that this is still in our arm mass majority is in civilian clothing and all if you were wearing camouflage clothing or wearing uniforms and most of those attacks that happen outside of the bend to the town so there has been that in many cases it has been reported that the attack happened when the woman. were going back to their forward to the village of part of the town of the receiving their humanitarian aid lightfoot gratian. so i think that some criminal elements are trying to take advantage of this movement of the woman right as sexual violence against women is sadly common a common occurrence see in conflict zones were seen in south sudan in the democratic republic of congo how widespread is it bill in south sudan's conflict

and do women come forward to report these attacks. like your mention like it is a challenge for the medical organization like us where we're trying to provide the much needed. medical and surgical should care like you like to use sexual violence cases like is very interesting it's very important that or one of the survivors have a provision for medical care within seventy two hours to prevent for the development of. diseases like the eyes including a child be and also to prevent unwanted pregnancies so. for us for the organization we have set up of various programs in different parts of the country to be able to cater to such care but never in our history here are very insulted and we have received we have seen such an unprecedented number in

a short period of less than ten days thank you so much for speaking to us michel sangma m.s.f. medical coordinator in south sudan thank you for joining us there from juba and you know if you want to find out more about the situation in south sudan and what's behind this conflict i want to point to this excellent film done by a talk to. don broken bodies shot of dreams victims of abuse and rape during the civil war tell their stories of broken dreams and stolen future it's women's voices who tell us the stories of what happened to them it's a very good documentary watch it on our website at al-jazeera dot com. now i want to central europe's best universities is being forced to shut down in hungary the central european university in b. to pass needed to be certified by the government to continue operating but that deadline has now passed critics say the government's refusal to renew license of the university owned by the american billionaire george soros is part of its

efforts to silence dissent john hall has a report. central europe was not colonized by for close to thirty years the central european university in budapest has dispensed world class degrees to students from more than one hundred countries but its days in hungary are numbered. the hungaroring government started and all i was campaigning against liberal intellectuals in fact intellectuals far of any stripe. and has been limiting economic freedom in state owned and state run universities for a long time c.e.u. is a private institution of the government's refusal to renew its legal certification means courses are moving to vienna but first by way of a protest campus outside parliament. it's not quite the hungary an uprising all over again but they want people to know that their government is threatening to close a university on european soil for the first time since world war two once this

becomes for miscible here it becomes permissible anywhere anywhere in europe anywhere in the west that it will be a catastrophe for hungary and i just don't see what sort of a government would destroy that so why is it so tristrem to them suppose they don't want independent thought they don't want. the use of hungary to be able to assess critically their propaganda so here is a grand european democracy and academic freedom side by side of course in political science would teach that they are mutually dependent on one another but here in hungary they're in mutual decline. the battle to save c.e.u. looks likely to be lost the latest defeat for hungary's beleaguered liberal forces opposed to prime minister viktor orban and his populist nationalist policies or ban has targeted not just free thought and speech but also immigration and foreign n.g.o.s his most recent election campaign was fronted by posters of hungary and born billionaire george soros with claims that soros plans to flood europe with

illegal migrants and refugees. the sea was founded and is funded by george soros and one of its alumni is government spokesman zoltan kovacs why i now choose to go after this institution that source found and nobody's going after one particular institution as i mentioned to the higher educational or is a political to all universities and institutions operating under but this university is going to find it difficult to function in the future is it not probably for the reason that it was privileged in an undue way that privilege is not going for any other university or higher education institution in this country . if not the last nail in the coffin certainly one of many and jonah joins us now live from the path john any chance of a last minute reprieve. no sign of that no folly

the students manufacture their makeshift camp disciplinary day in the end their weeklong vigil outside parliament the deadline for recertification is today the first of december it is coming god was no sign of the government changing its mind so the board of governors we're told on monday will declare that you see university has been forced to close and move its operations inside hundred reminder that this is basically a us university operating in hungary being shut down by and b u and nato member with apparent impunity it's interesting to note that during the week in those tents behind me there were guest lectures going on to the public one of them was a feminist dearest called joan malloch brown and she said this if they're allowed to take away education as the source of social and political change she said that will all be done in by the all voluntary and i think that capsule is a capsule it's the wider concern here that this undermining of academic freedom is

just the latest sort of way point along the road towards realising prime minister viktor orban to vision of an illiberal democracy his own phrase they're essentially one in which a system in which he and his governing party are beyond challenge beyond accountability it's the sort of system that in political science in those tents there and more widely perhaps it would be better described as all foreign terrorism you know one point party state. and i thank you for that reporting there live from the best at john hall is where you can find him on twitter and you can follow sarah's coverage of the story on our hungry spotlight has also in death or not a says opinion pieces and plenty of video content dot com. now the world is marking the thirtieth anniversary of international aids day hiv aids has claimed the lives of around thirty five million people since the early eighty's sars back with more on that how is this being mocked online well it's actually trending worldwide right

while wired right now is the hash tag when people talk about aids africa always comes to mind and perhaps that's because over sixty six percent of people with aids live in sub-saharan africa but it's spreading at a significantly faster rate in other parts of the world in fact six of the ten most populous countries including china brazil and russia have experienced around ten to forty five percent increase in hiv infections and that's just since twenty ten now russia right now is the country that has the largest hiv epidemic in eastern europe and central asia with new infections rising up to fifteen percent each year the united nations estimates at least two hundred fifty people are infected every day and the number of aids related deaths are also increasing that's despite a decrease in the rest of the world as most of those infected don't receive medical treatment the head of russia federal explains why that is unless you does that not enough resources are provided to fight the infection moreover those

resources are not spent in the best way possible let's say that we're not using in the first place prevention methods that proved their worth in other countries now in homosexuals and drug users are particularly affected especially not thirty one percent of drug users and thought to be living with hiv because of injecting six point five percent of prisoners in russia are estimated to be living with hiv see and the head of russians federal aid center also says ten percent of gay men in russia are having have rather hiv it's also more widespread where people have multiple sexual partners. russia has committed to the un aid fast track strategy it's the aim of that is to end aids as a public health threat by twenty thirty parts experts say one reason why there's no progress is because of the ban by states on sex education programs the un says the stigma and discrimination still deters people from being tested for hiv so on thursday a british m.p.

became the first in parliament to announce he is a child of the positive in a move ahead of world aids day next year i'll be marking an anniversary of my own ten years since i became a child because. it's been a month journey from the fear of acceptance and today hopefully as the kissy knowing that my treatment keeps me healthy and protect any part of the time they have. now as always i'd like to hear of thoughts wherever you are so connected us with anyone in the team with. grit sara thank you very much live not a multi view war here on the news great taking a look at the different pictures the news agencies are feeding us and paris everywhere from mortars to a.f.p. these are live pictures of central paris and running street battles for the third weekend in a row the so-called yellow vest demonstrators out in full force on the streets of the french capital protests that began over rising fuel prices but have now morphed

into deeper discontent against the mark or government protesters today as we heard earlier from david chaytor calling on the french president to resign we'll have all the latest out of paris of course all the latest developments and news lines as in when information comes so let's take a look at the other stories now making headlines around the world this hour in just over an hour andras mannion lopez obrador will be sworn in as mexico's new president he searched through election victory with promises to clean up mexico's notorious corruption and devastating cartel crime popular in the known as his win also comes with high expectations from a country expecting big changes john homan look takes a look at the challenges ahead. because new president won by a landslide will be eager to swearing in under his money will look. nobody's initials as stupid arises mexico leftists say due to some danger to democracy for others. a trusting him to come good on his

election promises cut down corruption the quality and crime. cut to pick the country's most populous municipality has its fair share of the movement in the local market we found people desperate for a new stop. them let's see if there's change at the security because crime has shot up with awesome. people a lot of golf be great. you know with a customer thought is a textbook i'm a low voter male young and university educated but his obrador was always said he puts the poor first but his appeal why did this election in those are you going to look at with just i believe what people are looking for is peace security employment and petrol prices that don't go up that's what i want to. pose persistent problems among others the finally give mamelodi opportunity he's looking for in his third attempt at the presidency this is what he's taking on why he

supports is this so desperate to change more than forty percent of the population is poor the murder rate is the worst on record and the current ruling administration has left a trail of corruption scandals. like that imo says he can change all that because despite being a career politician says he challenges the system. is precisely what worries many here in point of no fritz conservatism leatherwork and now being the only state that didn't vote for the new president that. every change is uncertain especially for a party that practically just march this year and is full of those who deserted the party. some worried that a populist who says who govern by example who got the power to himself rob them reliable makes caus ready weekends to chew shoots he's already used

a referendum to cancel a thirteen billion dollar airport it was organized by his own party the only about one percent of the electorate voted. it doesn't look good that he's doing that when he's not even president yet how many millions got lost in that. spooked business sector are asking the same questions but even the skeptics we talked to joined with lopez obrador as fans in hoping despite the doubts that the new man comes good john homan. makes crew city. in the united states a former police officer has been charged with murder for killing her unarmed black neighbor in september both am jean was shot dead in his own home in dallas texas amber geiger who is white says she walked into a wrong apartment thinking it was her own and shot thinking he was an intruder she was initially booked for manslaughter prompting criticism that the charge was too lenient a grand jury has upgraded it to murder aftershocks are being felt in alaska following

thank you it's here to talk sports to african football has been making the headlines women's tournament is doing well but the men sentiment is in a bit of a mess it's in a bit of a mess fall yeah that's that's been kind of the search is on for a new venue for next year's africa cup of nations again that's also defending champions cameroon was stripped of hosting the tournament the continent's football federation caps said cameroon had met deadlines on construction and that it was also concerned about violence in the southwest and northwest of the country need two of the plant venue's a new bidding process is underway and they promised a decision soon with morocco seen by many as fragrance to host the tournament in june and july but this is by no way the first first time the africa cup of nations

has been moved from host to hosts in fact african football journalist juliet by were points out in this tweet that has happened five times in the last nineteen years so while the men's africa govern nations has fallen apart the women's tournament is reaching its climax nigeria will take will try to defend their title against south africa in the final in ghana shortly their eight time champions while south africa have never won it and bunyan a banana as they're known have been rallying fans on social media. case of how might you know that you and i would just like you for the support that you've given us so far tomorrow as we have been encourages you to something like an opinion that if you beat me to me up on the court it was ok. so south africa will also make a debut appearance at the women's world cup in france next year having reached today's final for media mila is in cape town to take

a look at how that success is helping grow the game back home. the president of the south african football association says the successes of iranian are but we honor our culmination of hard work why everyone associated to the game six of the players in that national side belong to this club at the university of the western cape. while their teammates are celebrating the new and i've been you are now making history and they qualified for the world cup they say there's not enough support for women's soccer in south africa one of them is a nineteen year old made it. to an under twenty's training camp for the national side i am very happy because to qualify for the first time means that we are developing as leaders for the sort of cricket and hopefully they were present. in the world cup it's all hip turn your face he hopes to be selected to play for one year on a banana and the team heads to the world cup in france in twenty nineteen she's all

three goals for the national side in the pacific up woman should blow his own been taken seriously and now because we're doing so well in the national capital now everyone is giving us attention and all that but then it all comes to a head that really is really us than we are in. this the most important thing because we're not looking at the boys to see but the boys girls we're actually standing up for ourselves to see we're doing this so what now it's about that this team participates in the varsity couple where the prize money for the winning men's team is almost twenty five thousand dollars if these women participate the most they could win is six hundred and fifty dollars players like these say they hope that victory for one year not bunyan or at the african cup of nations will generate what they say is long overdue interest and support. the other big sporting event

happening this saturday is the heavyweight boxing fight between these two men deonte wilder and tyson fury now wilder known to fans as the bronze bubba is the reigning w.b.c. heavyweight champion it is undefeated in all of his forty fights he said this video on twitter with the poetic caption lest you forget. every opponent i've met but if you think that tyson theories intimidated by that then think again here he is cashier riving for friday's weigh in standing up out of his cars sunroof remember the fury recently returned from a thirty month layoff during which he had a well documented battle with depression and drug addiction these before and after pictures have been doing the rounds on social media the one on the left is twelve months ago and that woman the right there as you can see is from friday's weigh in quite the transformation i think well following the way in the final faceoff between the pair has to be abandoned for fears of or a piece of a brawl at the news conference we'll see what happens later when they finally go

hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're with al-jazeera also coming up the g. twenty summit is drawing to a close all eyes on chinese president xi jinping is scheduled meeting with donald trump. spreading aids awareness in cape town south africa where a million people have been tested for hiv in the last year. and a world leaders paid tribute to former u.s. president george bush sr who has died at the age of ninety four. french police have fired tear gas in paris at protesters demonstrating against fuel prices found took part in a third weekend of so-called yellow vests demonstrations which began over a hike in fuel taxes many turned up wearing mosques ski goggles before clashing

with police throwing rocks paint and construction barricades more than one hundred people have been arrested on a gago reports. oh. thousands of the so-called yellow shirts marched in paris for the third successive saturday most of them peaceful. others tore down barricades ready for a confrontation with right police. a movement spread on social media which has spilled on to the streets with no apparent leader no clear demand but with a lot of support from french people nationwide. motorists started blockading roads in early november against the rising price of fuel and next month's proposed tax rise on diesel president emanuel mcconnell says the tax is necessary to promote more environmentally friendly fuel and cut pollution with support from across the political divide the protests have broadened to include anger at the higher living

costs as well as a physician to other club policies. but. the people of europe the people of france are being drained little by little the tuxes and all sorts so we've had enough it has to stop not too long ago we witness the arab spring i think now we're seeing the european winter. thousands of police work again deployed along with putting up barriers firing tear gas and water cannon it's unlikely to douse the anger president mcconnell sort of compromised by promising nationwide talks on turning france in twelve low carbon economy more affordable as underlined by the prime minister. yet. we're open to dialogue and all of those who want to work with the government with the unions with the political structures and tools to finding solutions and as a president. can trade union leaders are calling for the scrapping of the fuel

tax rise a demand which some proma call members of parliament coming around to try and dampen their. rage on the streets sunny i ever al-jazeera. will david chase is in paris where he's been following the day's events david what's happening where you want now. well the riot police are circling their wagons around the rebel held position which is here underneath the off to the three of them except they're not a wagons they're water cannon and the water cannot have been spraying the the demonstrators the rebels. every few minutes or so the rate is now falling on the cascades of tear gas still coming through but there's no sign that the yellow vests. rebels will actually give up to screw around difficult the

police because they know they'll be a lot of reaction from the these crowds if they try and push the demonstrators away from this symbol of french nationhood also they car in the water cannon directly i was here because we're standing right next to the eternal flame and that would be something that i think the president emmanuel marco would not wish to see extinguished by riot police water cannons so it's a bit of a standoff we don't know how long it will continue in this way but i can tell you that the main message coming out of this crowd and it's made up of a huge variety of different political shades of opinions but the main message is grown resigned. that i think is the message that is getting through. yes we can see there is still a great deal going on behind you that day that demonstrates as angry as you say about rising taxes. what is there anything the government can do to satisfy

them. well they did try they did invite. a more person network of protesters to come and talk to the prime minister. only yesterday. and then he refused to carry over the discussion because he wanted to film it live and live stream it so that was the end of the open door policy there so exactly how do the prime minister and the president try to react to this this huge demonstration such a mounted why social media it's not something that any government it's had to tackle before and there's so to be no controls here this is going like china a way they control the internet they're free to do anything and they're working right across the country staging pressure and now it might be a fact that there is

a small decrease in numbers but the in fact has been through massive so what does the government do well this president marc wrong he said in argentina that he said that the reforms will go ahead with visa reforms especially the hikes in the diesel fuel is appalling on the poorest shoulders in frogs the rural communities rely on transport to get around and also the whole household these are the ones who are suffering the real impact of the various rises and that that is something that they accept and these protests as long as this goes on these protests will continue if president clinton does not do a u. turn well thank you very much david chase a keeping an eye on the situation there for us where protests in paris have turned

violent he's responding now with tear gas water cannon and stun grenades thank you very much david. the u.s. president donald trump has canceled a planned press conference ahead of leaving the g twenty summit in argentina writing on twitter he praised his great success in dealings with various countries but said he would not be revealing any more until wednesday out of respect to former president george bush sr who died on saturday well i want house correspondent is at the white house briefing room and joins us now any more information from the trumpet ministration on on this. it's been very much a surprise this room is filled with journalists we had expected that the president would be speaking at another hotel at a podium very similar to the one behind me where we would have the opportunity to

ask him questions about the g. twenty this is very abrupt but very typical of this trumpet ministration plans changing almost on a whim often being notified in real time on twitter just as the real world is finding out without getting any advance notice from the white house as you point out donald trump announcing that his press conference at the end of the g. twenty prior to his departure was canceled because of the death of george h.w. bush or george bush sr as we often refer to him in the united states out of respect but certainly this is a bit curious because many would wonder why he would feel uncomfortable holding a press conference about the news of the day we can only speculate that because donald trump rarely speaks on message and often goes off script if you will that perhaps his advisors calculating that this could be when a nation is in mourning over a beloved president that this could be particularly per carious for donald trump so

what we know right now at this hour is that this press conference is canceled but there's always the opportunity that he could address the travel pool that we may get some sort of comments in a manner other than the formal press conference still very much a surprise because this news coming just thirty minutes before the journalists in this room were preparing to board buses to begin the security sweep for that gathering right so he's counseled a news conference that's come as a surprise but. present time has been having some meetings and of course everyone was closely watching the meeting that he supposed to have with the chinese president which would have been the first meeting between the two men since the escalation in trade tensions. right and that meeting is still emitted it is very much highly anticipated given the fact that this is a meeting between the world's two biggest economies but in advance of that we know that there are bilateral meetings with german chancellor angela merkel as well as

with the turkish leader air to one and then we were anticipating this press conference now we know that will not be happening instead we know that there will be some serious discussions perhaps with the leader of turkey given the fact that this is ministration when it comes to the killing of show she has been asking for more intelligence from the turkish leader it has not been forthcoming also there is a very different conclusion with respect to that intelligence about whether or not the saudi crown prince ordered that killing the united states giving the crown prince very much a free pass even potentially rule not ruling out that there may be some sort of pull aside here at the g. twenty summit that not happening yet but of course china on the radar given the fact that donald trump has threatened in january to escalate to twenty five percent of those tariffs on more than two hundred billion in chinese goods into the united states it is an escalating tension the united states demanding concessions on what they call china's predatory trade practices so this is something that has to be

overcome it's not clear whether or not this afternoon meeting with president xi will be donald trump will be able to accomplish it all right thank you very much can really help getting one is ours well also we have to raise a at the summit send in his iras for us and we were just hearing committee that speaking about meeting between china and the u.s. we know that trade has been a crucial issue at this summit particularly in the wake of protectionist measures that have been taken we understand the has been some consensus on reform of the world trade organization what are you hearing about that. well most definitely and first let me explain you this is the conclusion of your roles as well representative of different countries of the members of the g. twenty met during a full year or two trying to agree on sort of terms of certain issues well this point there's still a lot for debate.
