as pressure builds on him to bring an end to weeks of violent antigovernment protests the finance minister says the demonstrations have been catastrophic for the economy with an estimated loss of one and a half billion dollars and it's miss reports now from paris. they're the only businesses that have seen profits go up because of the yellow vest protests 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 merkel could enable employers to give bonuses free of tax to their employees so that everyone is better off again of the month but i also understand the government's position saying besiege it's not easy to deal with to find solutions would you go there was 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 in search of paris yesterday there were 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 work and is open 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 for the protesters who took the place of christmas shoppers in central paris have succeeded in forcing the government of president emmanuel macron 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 in can manage to get by but this can only be done in peace in dialogue and certainly not with violence and 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. france's foreign minister has told the u.s. president to stay out of french politics after donald trump blamed violent protests on the paris crimes 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. jacquie law is a senior research fellow at the global policy institute specializing in french economic and social policies he joins me live via skype from san milo thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us so we have now seen a fourth weekend of demonstrations turn violent just looking ahead do you see these protests continuing with the same level of intensity as the has been in recent weeks no i don't see pretty sure that the intensity will go

down and it will or do you plan on tomorrow's speech by a man or a michael majority see that as begin to turn the beat against a movement and engage the gaze of a society the broadest what do we need to hear from emanuel macron what does he need to say to satisfy this protest movement and all those that are in line with that. it is to make it a speech of his dive or at least of his mandate tomorrow is make or break yes to show that he's heard people's complaint it was judged to be too good to from to be bored to arrogant and that's the reason why the movement spread he could have quoted a few weeks ago if you are now on stern and consideration of the huge tax hikes in a do that. enough that was done last week too late in the meanwhile demands group

and the but who did to day debt with. the purchasing power of the difficulty people have to make ends meet a deploring in the region the loss of public transport and public services etc and eventually do or protest focused on the person that is of immigrant mccoll who seemed to be the president of the new france of the start of nation france of the winners and seem to have forgotten do you or were de or france or people who find it hard to make ends meet every day so. it was seen as a person the president of the rich would be the winners would you not listen enough to the space and now debase in front of the people at the bottom of france society of reminded him that it exists and they want him to show that he's understood them and they want him to show empathy on the other hand the rest of british n want him

to see authority on that score it wanted yesterday's demonstration controlled to satisfactory to the french people but to morrow to announce some very concrete measures which we have a strong impact on the purchasing power of the people and to show that he's ready to daro that and i can i just ask you on that on that point being you say that people want him to show more empathy he has abandoned a rise in fuel taxes that doesn't appear to be enough. how how much how much more can is the government in a financial economic position to make further concessions that is the problem because of the government has it i said on the deficit not exceeding free percent it was difficult because of the could in the slowdown indoor euro zone last year

the. margins of maneuver are very narrow but at the same time now we have such a pretty good situation that you will forget about fiscal orthodoxy i think we have to make sure that the measures he announces even if they're very costly to the budget we did least arista have an issue a dialogue between him and yes to sure the cid and the fi sure that really is the actions we have a concrete impact whatever it cost it's done already cost a lot to dig couldn't me now ease basically starting in the second part of his mandate you can't carry on as he carried on now he defers the eighteen months of his presidency he was more on the you know core the is movement is lift leg right or right leg he was more his right leg and i think that from now on yes to propose something strong would sure that there sawyer as a lift and i think he's going to announce something very strong such as

a new deal or a new social contract probably sing to establish dialogues it was a source yes a top down the president a vertical president during his company and you want he was advocating bastid possibility of democrat instead i don't know and then we'll have to see we will have to see what emerges from emanuel backgrounds big speech tomorrow if indeed there are some of the concrete concrete measures you describe for us that there are now banking very much yeah joining us there from some other thank you richard. well here in london they've been rifle demonstrations in support of and against breck's it one of the gatherings called for a people's vote on brakes at a second referendum on the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. the u.k. parliament is due to decide on tuesday whether or not to approve prime minister to resign may's e.u. withdrawal tale early of progress demonstrators including far right groups marched to denounce may's deal saying it will leave britain trapped in the e.u.

needs 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 by 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 is well known in london and now living don't you know what if they 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 they're taking our job to the 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 opinions on many different things but envious in our opposition to this you can still be unified. while you're 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. and then ashton being 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 interest on choose day british m.p.'s will vote in parliament on whether to accept or reject to resume ace breaks it plans to resume a though says that if her plan is not supported in the key vote on tuesday in

tuesday night into parts of england scotland as well over here towards another part of africa though we are looking at some winds in the clouds really affecting parts of libya as well as coastal parts of egypt would you think that we're going to be seeing mostly cloudy conditions for benghazi maybe a rain shower or two but we don't think that's going to be too heavy at all maybe twenty degrees for you in the forecast over here towards cairo twenty two degrees there and then as we go towards tuesday well more winds are going to be coming off the mediterranean so we'll be watching that very carefully now here cross the eastern med that we're going to be seeing war rain showers in the forecast that is going to bring some are cooler temperatures as well but for cairo rain could be in your forecast by the time we get to tuesday night with a temperature of twenty two. in countries like mine people have been killed to be really united states have privatized the ultimate public function look this was

welcome back a quick look at the top stories this hour now fiance of murdered saudi journalist jamal khashoggi has spoken exclusively to al jazeera calling for those responsible to be brought to justice in her first interview since u.s. senators were briefed by the cia chief gina haskell a teacher ginger has also said locating her fiance's body was a basic human right. french president is set to meet with union employees organizations on monday to try and bring an end to weeks of violent anti-government protests or than seven hundred people were arrested throughout the country after large scale demonstrations on saturday. and early returns from ami a snap parliamentary elections show acting prime minister nicole ahead with a commanding lead had been seeking a stronger monday after coming to power during widespread protests earlier this

year. well in our other main stories china are some in the u.s. ambassador to beijing to protest against the detention of an executive from chinese tech giant huawei main one joe was arrested in canada last week at her quest of the us which accuses her of breaking sanctions against iran the canadian courts are deciding on whether to extradite have meanwhile u.s. 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 in the way case what they're accused of here what she'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

shavar town c joins us live from washington now and she have any reaction there to the u.s. ambassador being summoned in beijing. we have reached out to the state of public we await their response so in the meantime what we've have over the course of sunday is a rather interesting tussle between sentences and members of congress like marco rubio who are real hardliners china who say that this should all just be the beginning of a concerted political and economic crackdown on chinese technology companies members of the trumpet ministration who are trying to calm things down as particularly before the asian markets open so we have the administration's long been under pressure from marco rubio but also from the hawkish democrats as well because they say chinese technology companies are a threat to national security not just because of iranian sanctions but for variety of other reasons including what they allege is the planting of back to dual bugs into telecommunications equipment which is then used to spy on people in america

and we should point out that the u.s. knows of what it speaks we know from edward snowden that the u.s. pioneered that sort of technique you know they would sort of cisco equipment be waiting for export and the n.s.a. would intercept it and stick a few bugs in and send it on its way so they know what they're talking about so what rubio and others are saying is look we've got a crack down now the administration is in a bind because it knows if it starts cracking down like that that it's going to put the trade talks in a great deal of jeopardy and so we had the u.s. trade representative on the sunday talk shows trying to say look what's happening with huawei is a totally separate matter it's a criminal justice matter it will have no impact on the talks he said. and in fact very importantly he said it's not his position that there should be any kind of ban on chinese telecommunications products so we are seeing that sort of balancing act between the hardliners especially the republican party but also democrats and the administration as well as we have the shadow of the trade talks in the background

or on the foreground actually all the overground i guess you'd say well exactly because. the timing of it at least raises serious questions in terms of the trade dispute between the u.s. and china and whether it's likely to get west before it gets better. right and there is this suspicion or is what is this part of some amazing plan you know is this arrest part of is it going to become a bargaining chip for example marco rubio mentioned that either that was a tech technology company that was sanctioned by the u.s. for. breaking iranian sanctions but in the end through the president she called donald trump don't drop interceded and save that company from bankruptcy so people wonder well maybe maybe something like that is going on here and it's part of the trade negotiations again the administration says that's not happening in fact larry kudlow said they didn't even know this arrest was going to take place when donald

trump was having dinner with president xi that that's not not the case but even when litel is there on the sunday shows was trying to soothe people and the markets he then said something which is kind of worrying for some as well when he said there's going to be a halt march first out that is the deadline for talks to end for there to be a deal and that is concerning to some because in the past they don't trump and larry kudlow the economic advisor have said well perhaps there is some wiggle room this could be extended so as usual with the top administration we're getting mixed messages. thank you very much you have a tendency in washington now organizations that provide support services to refugees and migrants in italy say there's been an increase in racist attacks that's being blamed on the rise of right wing politicians and nationalist massachusetts and now many of those arriving in italy say they don't feel safe so nick ports from rome.

a rallying call on heard voices for those gathered here it is an anxious time caught in a no man's land they face hostility in a country where nationalism and populism have surged in the past year. activists like andrea who work with refugees and migrants say they have seen the effects face to face and they describe how italy's government has treated those seeking refuge dominated as it is by the rhetoric of the far right deputy prime minister but they are. it's somebody can feel free to do it because they say look we're the chief of the police and so it's like you take my goods. that. really scares me a lot. there's little in the way of options but those caught in the asylum system may come fleeing war or hardship but one thing is certain they do not feel welcome

. that i didn't mean we have to go and sleep in a station or on the street there are no other choices nowhere else to go so that's how it is. there have been warnings of a climate of hatred accelerating in italy since the far right went into power the ruling politicians have deny that there is any such crisis but the promotion of fancy by the policies has for the right number of italians justified that in the name of law and order. are going to be look what the current mood has power with the rise of the extreme right because a pound has been attempting to normalize fascism since the one nine hundred ninety s. squatting in the state owned building in central rome the group is part of a wave of white european so-called identity tarion movements they offer classes to disadvantaged youngsters especially men who they say have been left behind in today's italy and the lesson today italy's ancient history a standard subject for

a group looking to the past but its focus is very much fixed on the present and future political scenes. we are convinced that ca's of pounds role is to guide the government and they know this because if they don't live up to their promises voters may end up voting for us. because the pound may claim to unify all italians but its tactics have exploited divisions within a country that has seen a recent mass influx of refugees and migrants combined with a stagnant economy this extremist movement has found fertile ground to take root and in certain cases thrive so new diagonal al-jazeera roam. this is joint nobel peace prize winners have held a news conference in oslo ahead of monday's award ceremony congolese dr dennis mccuaig a new z.d. activist no idea murat would join in awarded the prize in october but perry cv honored for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as

a weapon of war. of charts. not a single i saw fighter has been brought to court we haven't seen this perhaps it will be a different group that commits these crimes if there is no justice we will continue to see this injustice in the world if this is not dealt with now. well you can watch that exclusive live interview that are going to come up with the nobel laureates right here on al-jazeera both dennis mcgregor. we'll speak about their fight for justice on the nobel interview program at sixteen hundred g.m.t. tomorrow on monday. now the towns and beaches of northern mexico near the u.s. border normally attract thousands of terrorists every year but that's changed as a result of the border crisis sparked by the arrival of the so-called asylum seeker a caravan from central america many business owners are saying that without the terrorists a struggling to make ends meet on the abdel-hamid reports now from tijuana. i.

should be full of tourists on a saturday morning this small fishing village on the pacific coast attracts tourists from across the border in the united states here fish crabs and clubs are as fresh as they get. but salvador doesn't know if he would be able to sell his freshly caught crabs and spider crabs which are usually in high demand and usually have more people than this right now. with. salvador and his partner had to cut their daily catch by fifty percent. i think because northern frontier rules after thousands of asylum seekers try to storm the crossing about two weeks ago they were met with tear gas and the border was shut down for several hours angering many of the shop owners in the area who

also felt that the protesters the whole problem started here the reports of entry just closed for a few hours and since has been business as usual now there is traffic but the queues are much shorter but more importantly tourists are staying away. but since those protests martin has been losing countries of dollars and he now spends most of his day watching cars drive by. didn't cause problems except for that one day but it got a lot of attention you know tourism is that all these cars you see are locals who shop. war or study in the us normally at this time i wouldn't have time to speak to you i would be busy selling. in nearby rosarito there's the same worry empty streets and restaurants furious told that some say there's no point waiting in vain for customers. to see that we vote against the current political environment in the

us is also part of the problem she's a publicist whose business is targeted at the american market. and sort of the moment he guns it is both as mexicans we worry about the caravan because it's here and for those of us who cross often into the us donald trump has been talking about immigration since he got into power and he wants to build his wall so this is giving him an excuse to fulfill his crazy idea and build his wall of migrants are giving him all the reasons to do it. another curve and might start moving from central america did new year mexicans understand why people want to seek a better life in the united states but there's also concern that it's mexico which is paying the highest price of this border crisis but at the hemi al-jazeera did what i. still have for you on the program concerns that a volcano they call the mountain of god is on the verge of a rapture and look at what pace means for the messiah community living in its shadow. and we live in the dread of all the reaction from

a compliment to doris final say most. recent u.n. report has given renewed urgency to the fight against climate change and from his threats like sea level rise at this year's climate talks in poland can the international community seize the opportunity to take concerted action say with al-jazeera the latest from the front lines of the climate crisis from the conference itself and investigation into the real powers that control the world health organization their obligation to their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public health can they be trusted with building a healthier future if.
