along with more than seventy percent of french people the owner of this window fitting company is sympathetic to the protesters motives to citizenship their anger is legitimate it would be nice if mr michel could enable employers to give bonuses free of tax to their employees so that everyone is better off at the end of the month but i also understand the government's position seeing beseech it's not easy to deal with the hours to find solutions would you the more this restaurant in central paris stayed open on a saturday but takings were down ninety percent. would be really bad if the situation persisted and got worse however it is nothing compared to the wave of terror attacks from three years ago when tourists asserted paris yesterday there were a few tourists but it will be a lot of considerations no matter what hotels will be the most impacted but restaurants like mine will suffer as well because in fact they won't come. with the power turned off in the city of light in the shops boarded up the cost of the economy is estimated to have been at least one and

a half billion dollars. well the protesters who took the place of christmas shoppers in central paris have succeeded in forcing the government of president emanuel mccrum to agree to their main demand and abandon a hike in fuel taxes we must now urgently work together to find a path to dialogue to provide answers to all of those french people overwhelmed by the level of taxes and even through their work you can manage to get by but this can only be done in peace in dialogue and certainly not with violence scrapping the tax rises blows a five billion dollars hole in the government's budget but the protesters want tax cuts they want better pensions benefits and they want a higher minimum wage demands president is going to find difficult to meet and there's little money to pay for bernard smith al-jazeera powers meanwhile france's foreign minister has told the u.s. president to stay out of french politics after donald trump blamed the violent

protests on the paris crime agreement. i say this to donald trump and the french president said it to we do not take domestic american politics into account leave our nation be. well there have been rival demonstrations here in london in support of and against breck said one of the gatherings called for a people's vote on breaks it a second referendum on the u.k.'s departure from the u.k. parliament is due to decide on tuesday whether or not to approve prime minister to resign maine's a stroll deal earlier progress that demonstrators including far right groups marched to denounce may's deal saying it will leave britain trapped in the e.u. barker was at that rally in central london. this is a cross-section of britain's political right there are some hardline ultra nationalists here we've even seen some one supremacist flags but also nationalists to members of the u.k. independence party ukip played such an instrumental role in pushing for an e.u. referendum in the first place but they are united in their anger and frustration

that the british government is not prepared to deliver the kind of breaks it that these people overwhelmingly voted for many of them breaks it because they believe that the borders have been open for far too long and they believe that mass immigration has put a strain on the national health service and the british economy as well though i'm in london i'm on now living don't you know what if you don't stay in the west country not because i love to say because i call live in my own town they did it for the bloody immigrants and it's got nothing nothing about right it's about the fact that i want to live with my own people that i can now job's the who are taking our fish and all we've got to do is this to read to my bicycle it's committing treason we come from all our and we have many different things and many different things but envious in our opposition to this you can still be unified.

why are you wearing the donald trump. because we live in a country where you know people are so divided he believes in the nation state you know he's even said before he's a nationalist in this and then ashton been a nationalist has been turned into a dirty word for some reason but being a nationalist you know i'm a nationalist. nation's interest before international interests on choose day british m.p.'s will vote in parliament on whether to accept or reject to reason may's breaks it plans to resign may though says that if her plan is not supported in the key vote on tuesday in parliament then we will be in this country in uncharted waters she said on sunday but her plan that was seen as a compromise aimed at uniting this divided country only seems to be dividing people even further. it's more still to come for you on the program al jazeera goes undercover inside the french far right place generation identity revealing its

republican party senator marco rubio says he plans to reintroduce legislation that could ban chinese companies and their products from america so i think both while waiting multiple the chinese companies pose a threat to our national interests our national economic interests and our national security interests and the way case what they're accused of here which he's accused of is violating the iran sanctions so at a minimum we should be doing to them what we did when they violated the sanctions law and which included not having access to american suppliers and i hope that will happen those who are encouraging the administration to do soon as possible. well heidi castor has more now from washington and so heidi just listening to the clip from u.s. senator marco rubio there are i suppose there is a bigger question about whether these developments around while way will jeopardize any hope of easing trading tensions between charan's china in the u.s. . that's right in those statements you just heard from rubio mark an escalation in

rhetoric from the u.s. which is matched by a statement from the chinese foreign ministry that was released earlier in the day and it says that the u.s. side has seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of chinese citizens and the nature of the violation is extremely bad and the fact of the matter is this escalation of words between the two countries couldn't come at a worse time because both nations are trying to do the opposite to deescalate the tension ahead of these trade negotiations and it didn't help the fact that moon was arrested on the same night that u.s. president donald trump sat down for dinner with chinese president seizing p. at the g. twenty summit trump says that he was unaware of the arrest until much later but the whole incident is being seen in china as a national embarrassment making is considered corporate royalty in china she's not

only the corporate financial the chief financial officer of while way but she's also the daughter of that company's founder and the swift reaction to her arrest by chinese business elise with was very scathing there saying that the u.s. and canada are guilty of kidnapping all of this means there's more pressure now internally on presidency to resist concessions to the u.s. in these upcoming trade talks meanwhile it remains to be seen how the u.s. may use this development in those negotiations possibly it could be another bargaining chip but we do know from the trade representative of the u.s. that these negotiations are due to wrap up by march first all right thank you very much with the latest from washington on that story heidi cho castro. we now go to political developments in armenia polls have closed in the country's first parliamentary election since mass demonstrations earlier this year ended decades of

with his mass protest movements. velvet revolution. the republican party that was so popular and was ousted earlier this year although yes they've held in parliament they look as if they could be absolutely decimated in today's election. and so they will need to be. challenge. but it's not clear yet that there are several parties including the republicans that many seats. with an overall majority will be able to bring through those reforms but on the downside of course. christine. certainly will have a new shape in another one party government but at least he'll be able to go ahead

with those changes or at least he will try to deliver on those promises that he made things like dealing with the economy bringing in vestments and he's also going to have to tackle head on some really the issues like the nagorno-karabakh conflict with. get those. that would really change the dynamic. algis there is an investigative unit has infiltrated generation identity a far right group in france the undercover investigation reveals the group's violence and its links to the mainstream political party led by marine le pen david harrison reports. the. an undercover reporter from al-jazeera is investigative unit captures an argument on the streets of france was

just had local elections here and the ruling party did very badly china it seems may well have been a factor i've been talking to joseph who taiwan's foreign minister who has the job of selling taiwan's message overseas at a time when china is doing all it can to isolate taiwan internationally he admits it's a frustrating job i can not think of any other country that has a more difficult foreign policy then taiwan china has been trying very hard to isolate taiwan internationally joseph taiwan's foreign minister talks to al-jazeera . joseph we welcome to talk to our two zero the last time i met you you were secretary general of the democratic progressive party you had just secured the presidency the legislature your party

had done very well in those elections we've just had local elections and things haven't gone so well what what went wrong ruling party we need to care about all kinds of policies. and the difficult thing is that if we want to be seeing us or responsible government responsible political party you know we need to carry our policies in a moderate way and taiwan has been seeing a moderate country and taiwan is a responsible country but of course that is going to be seen by our own supporters that the reform the pace of reform is too small and therefore they may not be a supporter as passionate as before but what was the issue the made voters turn away from you do you think was it china was it the economy was it same sex marriage in every major election here in taiwan china is always a factor but it might not be the determining factor in the prison show that of

course china or the policy has been at the bait it might be seeing more important then in other directions and this is of the election even though we're trying to factor is playing a little part of it but it's not an overwhelming factor in this particular election and china's trying to interfere and we saw that china is gearing up is this information campaign or airing its support for particular candidates and that might be the small part the china factor is playing and this will actually what evidence is there of china meddling in the election campaign the volume on the internet seem to be heavily influenced by the chinese operation. the ip addresses in china they know things like that for example the ip address in china or somewhere set up by china and they try to infiltrate with their messages

there's a common knowledge over here in taiwan the fifty cents army in china they are roaming the taiwan internet world for example some of our candidates have their facebook. with the chinese languages in their facebook account and this is being seen us china trying to influence how was the election and of course china is also trying to getting connected with some of the local politicians or local organizations some of them trying to get benefit from china things like that has been seeing us china trying to interfere in our election do you think that china's leaders will feel that their strategy of strangling taiwan economically diplomatically is working and that now they're going to double down on their efforts to try to bring about reunification in five to ten years even sooner . that is something that many people here in taiwan have been discussing about

in taiwan selection committee seeing. chinese success of their interference then it's going to be very difficult to stop china from trying again and again or double down on the interference in oil action and this is only a little coy election and we have seen china trying to interfere in the election process but when we have the nation oil action in two thousand and twenty china might want to gear up its interference campaign against taiwan but i slice a little bit you know china might play a little part in our election the most important part is the people's decision and us i see it you know people are intelligent enough to the site you know what is right and what is wrong one thing is clear from these elections is that democracy in taiwan is is alive and kicking this china of course always likes to make

mischief at times like this and it says that the result shows that actually most people don't agree with your ministrations sort of pro independence tones and how they got a point. they might but they also got it wrong in two thousand and sixteen when the president was elected she was elected on the premise. here to a city school and therefore this government is going to be very hard to describe support independence if you look at the situation here in taiwan the p.r.c. does not have any jurisdiction over taiwan and taiwan is running by itself you know we have a president we have a part of them and we have free media and therefore taiwan in essence is independent and any government whether it's came to government or the d.p.p. government is going to run place this. and it's not pro independence or pro

unification is just taiwan taiwan by itself one thing i i don't understand you said the president except the status quo so if she does the then why is china reacting the way it is because china always says we want taiwan to accept there is but one china and taiwan is a part of it but you are saying the president accepts that no the president accepts the status quo and call it oh if you look at taiwan itself we have not being administered. by china for any single day china never has any jurisdiction over taiwan for any single day so the fact of the reality in taiwan or the status quo in between taiwan and china it's that two sides are separated and for china to claim that we are part of them and they want to unify us against the will of the town its people and that is against the status quo and of

course that it's not going to be supported by our people and that is not the point of the government they might support it now other than the election show that perhaps people felt that the stance of your government to china was was wrong but perhaps it's time to say we do except we are part of china i mean if you said that . china would loosen the economic news tomorrow and things could go back the way they were if you do a public opinion survey again today and i'm sure people are going to tell you the opposite i think the people are going to say that no we are not part of china and we are not going to pursue indication with china even though some of the local candidates in this election might have the tendency of pursuing better relations with china but seeing them you know pursuing a policy of unifying with china is going to be wrong and after all this is a local election and dog the course of relations has not been debated in this election in their. for relations or china factor is not the key factor in this

election and therefore we should not interpret the election as if taiwan people choose to unify with china or to choose to push through another route was china you are in charge of spreading taiwan's message to the world but how hard is that when taiwan's not part of the united nations you're not part of the world health assembly interpol how difficult is it for you the main the frustrations must be enormous you're absolutely right i can not think of any other country that has a more difficult foreign policy then taiwan china has been trying very hard to isolate taiwan internationally to prevent taiwan from having official relations with other countries or to prevent taiwan from participating in international organizations and china is also trying to change how once they're sick nation when

taiwan is being described by international businesses they try to change taiwan from taiwan into taiwan come on china or taiwan province of china and therefore in the ministry of foreign affairs over here we need to develop substantive relations with the like might it countries and we also have to safeguard those countries that are still having relations with that with taiwan. and in the last two years five countries that have relations with you have defected to china that must hurt it is difficult for us and what we try to do is to make sure that the senior government officials in senior government officials in power at diplomatic elyse are highly connected and i think most important trait of taiwan is taiwan is that democracy already and we have very proud of that and many of the like my countries continue to priest i want as a beacon and because taiwan is already

a democracy and therefore it we are able to develop closer and closer ties with like minded countries but when former friends like el salvador because of fast so say sort of we're going to recognize beijing there must be this sort of sense of betrayal because these countries up until then point have been your friends you're your allies that's right when that happened when they decided that they want to establish diplomatic ties with the people's republic of china and sever ties with taiwan of course people here feel betrayed and that that kind of sentiment can be very strong here but you know since they decide to choose china you know that's their choice and the important thing for taiwan is that we want to make sure that those diplomatic allies remain loyal to taiwan are getting the right thing from taiwan for example education campus city building job training or agricultural

development things like this will continue to help these countries and i think many of the countries realize that they are not able to get those kinds of support from the people's republic of china but they are getting state the support from taiwan and those items that i just mentioned what was it a surprise when el salvador defected or did you know in advance it was going to happen. we did take some signs that all the by negotiating with china and therefore you know we try very hard to see whether there's anything else we can work on so you offer the money what would you do to become like a bidding war do you don't know if this doesn't work that way my deputy traveled to el salvador speaking to see me officials over there and i myself also trouble to salvador speaking to their very senior officials including the president himself and to ask him whether there's any issue in the

relationship that we should work on more in what they say is that every aspect of the relationship is going there well and therefore they try to hide from us their negotiations with china and the leadership of not only trying to hide from taiwan they also try to hide it from the united states or other countries in their secret negotiations with china is it money that wins them over china to simply says how much do you need if you read the news of these couple days you can realize that it's money. and it's china offering a huge amount of money from the public record these couple days china over it fifteen billion u.s. dollars to el salvador and of course that is not the game that i want to seen what time was this saddam friendship is to be able to help the people it seems the china strategy is to pick off one by one those remaining countries that have diplomatic

relations with taiwan yes. which raises the question what happens if they succeed in doing that and there are no countries left. but what happens there as a minister of foreign affairs you know i wouldn't try to envision that kind of result but i think china also has other objectives over taiwan. you know cutting off all the diplomatic elyse off taiwan if you listen to the top speed top leaders of china they continue to say that they want to win hearts and minds of the talent's people but when they engage in the very negative way of isolating taiwan or talking of time once the international space that is the opposite of what they say they want to achieve winning hearts and minds of the taiwanese people and you can see point of the chinese negative campaign against

taiwan is going on but this in between taiwan and china is getting further and further apart and i'm sure that it's not what china wants to see but part of your job is is to sell taiwan to to promote taiwan. how do you describe taiwan how do you promote taiwan when you when you when you go around the world and visit various international organizations what's the key point you stress the first point of course taiwan is that the want is a mature democracy and one can be seeing us a model of democracy in this part of the world and the second aspect is time wise. status in economic development taiwan is already being seeing us a model for economy developing us well even though the growing rib roast rate in the last few years might not be great but taiwan is undergoing trench formation from the old. mini factoring based economy now to innovation based economy

if you look at the. trade relations between taiwan in europe. which is very far away the figure is growing and if you look at the investment of taiwan companies in the very far away country see in europe oil in india or in japan or in the united states or in mexico the number is also growing and therefore it's important to do business with i want to swell the situation in the taiwan straits seems fraught at times china has been carrying out military exercises as taiwan has china's been sailing warships very close to to your waters the united states has been sending warships into those waters is there a worry that the brinkmanship gets out of control and you're you risk conflict. of course started something that that this is you makers here are watching very carefully but i think we need to watch on our own back we need to watch our own security you know if china is coming too close to our water or it coming too close

to our airspace we need to have the sufficient defense capabilities to defend ourselves and from whatever we can see is that chinese expansionism that is causing all this trouble in there for any kind of effort in the international community trying to reduce this threat of war or trying to stop china's expansionism should be welcomed as a trump presidency been good for taiwan yes very much so president trump received a phone call from presidents high to congratulate him and vice president pence has also being a very strong supporter of taiwan he has a track record when he was in the congress and the. secretary of state. has also a long track record of supporting taiwan so all together we have seen the very friendly gesture coming from the trunk ministration to what i want and that gesture

includes the chance to buy more arms from from washington but you still can't get f. thirty five still stuff militarily that the united states. i won't sell you that must be a bit frustrating because if they were a true friend they'd give you what you wanted they give us what we want and we are in the series of discussions with the united states but of course you know i cannot get into the details of the discussion but if you look at the in june twenty seventh. they already made available to taiwan the huge package of arms and that is what we want and that is what we need and i think in time once defense much more than just one particular leiden in taiwan in the united states have been discussing very intensely how taiwan can. beef up its own defense and the we are trying

in every aspect rather than focusing on one item when president zine had that phone conversation with president donald trump and the oft would seem to suggest that perhaps he wasn't necessarily bound by the one china policy anymore your spirits must have arisen here in taiwan because for the first time it began to seem possible that perhaps the united states was going to walk away from something that's been the cornerstone of the u.s. relations for forty years we are more realistic and pragmatic than thinking along the lines of we understand that the united states has a relationship with china to a minister and of course maintaining good relations with china is always one of the policy priority of the united states and we are fine with that policy because that policy has room for us to work with the united states in a few days' time president trump and president xi jinping are going to meet at the

g. twenty s. taiwan is part of the current feud between washington and beijing what do you want to come out of that meeting what does taiwan money well if you look at the high level meetings in between the united and china. policy or taiwan subject of being raised by the chinese leaders almost every or cation. but the response from the u.s. decision makers is almost always the same but he would he say this is abide by its one china policy and if taiwan becomes a topic in their discussion i'm sure president trump or senior officials in the united states is going to come up with a similar statement at the moment china is led by possibly the most powerful leaders since chairman mao do you think he wants to be the chinese president the brings taiwan back into the fold because given the level of intimidation the wargames that have been going on in the taiwan straits that seems to be what we're

heading towards. possible but i think that's a possible. throughout the world you don't want the chairman thinking about if i were to put myself in his shoes you know i would have difficult times in understanding why taiwan should be a priority in his policy look at the regional situation inside china. this week here's a problem that he needs to deal with there's a problem in the team that he says that there was and you know the catholics are being seen by him as the one who is capable of doing the organisation and therefore he needs to use a lot of force in the suppressing the freedom of religion in china and other than that the more important factor is a slowing economy slowing economy means social instability into

an authoritarian country that might be the most difficult to maintain the legitimacy of that government and therefore disciplined before president xi to warry about and his relations with japan it's not good relations with korea might not be good you know there's a tension in south china sea there's a whole relations for him to manage with the relation with the united states and the. or he has so many problems to deal with and if if he wants to you know overcome the taiwanese issue that might put less. important issue on his plate imbibe for him what keeps you awake at night. the most difficult thing side told you. my position is china trying to interfere in our relations with the rest of the world. that will keep your weight sometimes that's right. our relations with that diplomatic ilyse that is something that we need to

continue to trade sure and we continue to watch out for to prevent china from having the. opportunity of grabbing them away from taiwan and we also worry about china us actions against how once participation in the international organizations you know we continue to try to push through our. or membership in the some major international organizations and china is making it very difficult for us but my job is to tell the international community that the rights of the twenty three million people here in taiwan deserve to be recognized by the international community if a small country can be represented in. one is ation the hills right of the town and see people should be recognized by the international community as well you know if a small countries can be represented in even international civil aviation

organization the rights of the taiwanese people should be recognized as well if a cross country crime is very important to every country i want should not be left out to the interpol and therefore this is something that we continue to advocate and that war motivate myself to advocate to the international community and you'll keep up your efforts to try to rejoin the united nations i will continue to advocate that you know the united nations is. organized or formed based on the concept that every country should be reburied senate in the united nations and will continue to. try to. push through the goal all for being part of the united nations but before we can be a member of the united nations you know there are practical ways for taiwan to be able to make contribution for example impractical and as asians like what i see us

at c.c.c. or w.h.o. it's even difficult for us to make a contribution but what is important for us is to seek opportunity for taiwan to be able to make contributions to the u.n. system and just so our views around the world understand if you're saying taiwan is a country yes of course. we have a president that is democratically elected and i just don't see that. nung. state or non country that has the president and we also have a parliament that is also a democratically elected and we have our own currency system and we have the military and we also have a ministry of foreign affairs that issue visas and passport and that is being recognized by the international community and taiwan is a country just like all other countries in the world and what name should it be at the united nations. we are not getting into that right now taiwan's title is the
