everman with the war crimes being committed against the palestinian people there is that amp angel. war crimes. mass executions a diminishing of forms confiscation of land he announced have been to think of two thousand settlement housing units and this call comes on the day encourage men to resign from and today the prime minister for stray decided also a city ward and then you know his and his reservoir of crimes against the palestinians and against his mother and i said i may have to make it a home less with their six sons and president he said and we've all done that and our government fully responsible because you know i'm a shining ones asked what's madness and he defeated by the briefing to sam experiences and experiments with death in pools and expecting a different result and mr netanyahu believes that by diminishing the homs killing palestinians he would get peace and security he is pushing but as the ns and israelis fear that and even into the cycle of violence and counter-violence and

that's the truth he's responsible for the blood that's being shed upon a stance well for the latest on this story and everything else related to the israeli palestinian conflict you can head to our website there you'll find as you can see on the front page news opinion pieces programs as well as documentaries and also one of the top stories on our website today and most trending is this one australia recognizing west jerusalem as israel's capital so the prime minister scott morrison says that australia will not though move its embassy from tel aviv for now but will open a trade in defense office in jerusalem muslim majority countries like indonesia malaysia have threatened to cancel a free trade deal in protests the us recognized all of jerusalem as israel's capital last year a move declared by the un to be no voids. now let's go back to our top story the protests in france and on monday president of anyone macaw announced tax

cuts and income increases for the working poor and elderly people saying he's hurt their anger or people on the minimum wage will earn about one hundred fifteen dollars more a month starting in january while taxes on overtime pay will be scrapped also retirees earning less than twenty two hundred dollars a month will no longer have to pay a recent increase in social security taxes some protesters have welcome mccall's concessions is a good first step but critics are denouncing what they see is half measures which are too little too late so let's speak to laura in paris she's a municipal councillor of the french city ruin and a former president of the european young socialist thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera with michael making some concessions for having has he managed to take the heat out of the protests. i mean i haven't seen many reports of the protests today but what is clear is that with the holiday coming up

it's probably going to go a little bit down but we don't know what's going to happen in january anyway and he hasn't brought any solution to part of the protesters also that are high school students for instance and i think that that was one of the major mistakes of he's political stance you know not understanding that the youth also want social justice and want recognition for the their studies. so we'll see we'll see if you know what happens after today but what is for sure is that there is a huge frustration with michael's announcements this week because clearly he didn't understand the main message of the core well the two main messages at the core of the protests which was social justice that the wealthy also contribute to public services decent wages the green transition and democracy you know how can citizens be heard in the political decision making process is what has clearly said of the chase by the patel i don't think changed these big names has the message by the protesters themselves changed over the past five weeks because they had initially started over fuel tax increases and then they've snowballed into other issues such

as living standards for example so do they have a coherent message that they are putting forward right now. i think you know if what triggered it was the increase on tax on fuel tax but you know ultimately the reason why this was the last drop for these people is that they have been. over for a year for over a year the measures that have that this government has been taking have been clearly unfair reducing taxes on the richest and making those on the when the poorest on the on the on the modest wages higher i mean how is this is this fair you know people are not stupid and the see that this is an unfair policy and i think that was this was the last drop but clearly yes behind it there's more and there's a big movement with her direction as with lots of it tara jenny but clearly what you when you look sociologically this movement looks like france so obviously it's

a virus but the core claim again is social justice and democracy social and leadership when it comes to that matter as it were in answer these two claims there's no actual real leadership yet as we know off when it comes true to the protesters so does this lose their credibility somewhat with the government and with those who are not supporting them. i think it's not really fair to the movement to say that it reduces their credibility because ultimately they put forward some claims including the reinstatement of the wealth tax for instance including actual raises on wages and not raise on social benefits for precarious wages which is what michael. put forward so they did put very clear claims and the government is now using the fact that there is no clear representatives of the movement to to say that they answered the claims it's not true and i think that it's actually interesting to see

a movement based on also the claim for renewal of democratic institutions to refuse to be trapped into representative democracy or into some of the problems that can emerge with it with people kind of taking. taking the power to themselves and which is also what what they feel is happening with the french current representative democracy so i think it's interesting that they try to overcome this and it's probably going to take a bit of time but it's a young woman as well all right so we thank you very much laura's the money for joining us on the newsgroup on al-jazeera got to get your thoughts now delegates say they're within touching distance of a global warming deal after two weeks of talks between representatives of two hundred nations in poland an agreement will cover the fine print that was left unfinished after the twenty fifteen paris climate agreement this includes how countries will report their greenhouse gas emissions and the efforts they're taking to reduce them the clark joining us from that summit in poland so the final draft this is untaxed nick been delayed. repeatedly in fact so what are the stumbling

blocks and where we know. daryn yes well i was hoping to bring you news of some developments because a while ago there was a flurry of excitement all the press in the media appeared outside that plenary where all the final negotiations will take place and the head of the e.u. delegation to work on usa and the head of the spanish delegation the high ambition coalition is called. went in there and it looked as if something was about to happen but then there was an announcement that it's been delayed again and so now they're saying that they're going to reconvene at six pm so we shall see at that point let's discover what the issues are we can speak to w w f's fernanda. tell me what's yours what's going on here and why it's just previously difficult because these these are friends always are tricky but this time there's a lot of to and fro ing yaz it's streaky but it's not seen in former

conferences they usually negotiate till the last minute whatever can be negotiated ok and brazil in particular. creating a stumbling block talking about article six in this issue of carbon credits what's that all about. well article six refers to international voluntary cooperation which is basically the what we also call flexible mechanisms that you could use market mechanisms or emissions reductions in other countries to count towards your obligations or going beyond your obligations so it's a very carbon trading it's carbon trading and it's complicated and it's very technical and what does brazil not like about it. i think that the issue is that brazil has a slightly different view on the clean develop mechanism which is a mechanism that was created by kyoto that that was basically other countries

would invest in projects in developing countries and those credits would account for emissions reductions and there are different views on how those credits would be transferred to the next to the next phase of the region most countries thinks they shouldn't and brazil still thinks they should so there's a difference there so that's one problem what else is holding things up i think that's pretty much it and i think there are there are discussions around that stern words which are also very common in this conferences the rule book the paris rule book which is one of the primary reasons why this converses take place this year seems to be pretty much set in place is it fair to say yeah i think we we have seen more than we expected of course it's not perfect but i don't think everybody expected to come out with a perfect rulebook but article six is an important piece of the rulebook so it may be that that there is

a loophole regarding this part of the rulebook but it's not certain yet so when you say lupul you mean that part of the agreement may be just kicked down the road for discussion maybe next year and then they will agree everything you know that's a possibility they are negotiating and that's why the plenary keeps getting delayed but you know negotiations. only goes so far of course and what about the more vulnerable nations how would they be assessing the situation i think that for them this is a very special crop this is very key and they have been very vocal on how nations should raise and bishan should give due consideration to the i.p.c.c. findings and how important it is for them and this commitment to his and this is by tentatively because it's their survival that's at stake i wouldn't say they're happy now and they would one point people were talking about maybe there's going to be a take it or leave it scenario here do you think it could go that far no i think we have moved i think we have moved from next week and if the facts doesn't roll back

we may have a decent outcome with things that that of course we will only be solved next year or a fanatic great to get your perspective on this present it very much will see you as the as a knight role and no doubt so that's it for now will bring you more at six pm let's hope at that point we actually have some developments all right we'll speak to them to clark thank you well you don't need to be a cop twenty four to make a difference years rhianna hans with five things you can do right now to save our planet's climate change it's real it affects us so and climate scientists say if we don't act they will be irreversible damage to our planet what then decades the solution cut greenhouse gas emissions. enchanting to claim green energy but don't wait for politicians to make the switch base plenty we can all do to reduce our carbon footprint number one become more energy efficient insulate our homes use

images save the light bulbs in appliances and if we're not using the lights switch them off basis still make the switch to renewable energy number two is a bit more of a challenge but the costs of going green are going down as more of us use it number three is another big ask for many of us as a major cubbon dioxide polluters so consider using the car a little less diff we need a new one going to literally and no matter what we drive maintain it deflated ties to now comes into gas guzzlers number four it's the three r.'s reuse what you have recycle what you don't need and the big focus right now reduce especially single use plastics like these they choke our oceans clogged the landfill and then made from fossil fuels finally consider going flexitarian scientists say even a literalist mate listeria a few eggs and embracing

a more plant based diet will help save our planet from the deforestation water pollution and greenhouse gases that record numbers of livestock produce each one of us can make a difference and inspire a ripple of change to hold our politicians and the fossil fuels industry to account and protect our planet while these still time. just to let you know of some news coming into us here at al-jazeera this is according to the reuters news agency citing interfax that the ukrainian council has elected a leader for a new independent national church in the ukrainian council has agreed on an independent church that's according to the president there and this has been going on for some time where ukrainian orthodox priests have wanted to establish a new national church one that does not have ties to russia and now it seems they have done so well another story that's making headlines is about

a seven year old girl from guatemala who died in the u.s. earlier this week that's after she was arrested by border agents sarah is here and to tell us about this story because it's getting a lot of reaction sarah hoye you can imagine a seven year old dies in custody i'm not squashed by that doesn't look good in this little girl that you see in the picture that's her with the fam in the u.s. border agency and her name is jack clean this is been shed multiple times as long as well rather as some other folks is jacking cost the u.s. makes can border the father last week and died about a day off to being taken into custody by u.s. border agents stuff federal immigration authorities who confirmed death say she hadn't eaten or drunk water for several days the washington post reports the girl died of dehydration and shock more than eight hours off the she was arrested by the u.s. agents and her death has raised questions about whether the border agents knew she was safe and whether she was also fed anything while in custody sequoias a lot of questions that are the girl's father is reports of he's still in el paso

texas while he waits for a meeting with the casa modern official u.s. politicians beth. who represents congress says he's deeply saddened and has called for an investigation more people are condemning the girl's death and one says giving her water would have prevented that but also another adds that don't ever give in to dehumanizing rhetoric about immigrants every child has dignity. that must be sheriff now amnesty international has urged the u.s. government to immediately they say and some of the immigration policies which includes an attempt to bans ban people rather from appliances sign them if they cross the border illegally now a federal appeals court has managed to temporary block that measure by trump's administration and is taking it to the u.s. supreme court says. sarah thank you well you can get in touch with us on this particular story or any other story of your heard here on the news grid you can send your comments to our online platforms we're on twitter use the hash tag a.j.

headlines on al-jazeera these are the most read articles right now on al-jazeera dot com you see the top story how britain stole forty five trillion dollars from india and light about it the most read right now so according to the author a new research published by columbia university press draws on nearly two centuries of detailed dots on tax and trade and the author estimates that britain drained nearly forty five trillion dollars from india during the period of nine seventeen sixty five to nine hundred thirty eight you can read more about that by heading to al-jazeera dot com. u.s. court has ruled the affordable care act popularly known as obamacare as unconstitutional and it's been trending worldwide on social media sarah here to tell us more about the. present donald trump that she tweeted hey i know i'm all

for the decision was made while but not surprisingly obamacare was just ruled unconstitutional by a highly respected judge in texas writes news for america now the no suits had been brought. forward by republican attorney generals from twenty states have been trying to get rid of the affordable care act for a while now and it was signed into law in twenty ten by former president barack obama now opposition democrats say they're going to be appealing this latest ruling and the case is likely to reach the u.s. supreme court which has already ruled to up hold the law but the sitting judges in the high court now are different to those who passed the ruling back in twenty twelve have been senior trump appointees since conservatives knew gore such an bret's kavanah as well now getting rid of the affordable care act was part of trump's campaign if you remember when he was running for president this is a little reminder. together we're going to deliver real change that once again puts america first. that begins with the

immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. so the question is why republicans dead against it well it's all about something called the individual mandate it's been the least popular and most controversial part of the lore it's a penalty paid by a person not wanting to sign up to health insurance it's a bit like a tax making health insurance mandatory at lower costs but then last year tax overhaul was brought in and that meant the penalty could no longer apply and since it doesn't apply it means the court has ruled the act itself is unconstitutional now all this just one day before saturday's deadline signed up to next year's coverage that's four point one million people in the u.s. have already selected a health plan and former president barack obama and celebrities of well and posting on social media to get more people enrolling. young people have stepped up like

never before on campuses at the voting booth and at the doors of power and frankly i think you've proven that you don't need to see me take the jump shots are sitting between a couple of forest plants in order to know it's important to have health insurance in case god forbid you get really sick or hurt yourself next year. so this year i'm giving it to you straight. signed up for health insurance and health care dot gov before the deadline on december fifteenth you can do it right now the most folks can find coverage for fifty dollars to one hundred dollars per month that's probably less than your cell phone bill. a bomb a cat was trending worldwide when the news was announced and there's a make sure reaction from politicians as well as members of the public can yes will be interesting to see what's happens if it does get to the supreme court lets us know you folks in the meantime because these hey i just that he's healthy and. sara thank you let's get reaction from the states and bring in rob reynolds he's joining

us from washington d.c. so does this judge's ruling actually mean that americans who rely on the affordable care act will now suddenly no longer have health care roth. ira and a great summary there from sarah of the background of all this they answer to your question is no the law remains in place for the time being of course there will be this long legal battle that will follow now on this texas judge's ruling as sara indicated a likely go to the supreme court but for the seventeen million plus people in the united states who rely upon the affordable care act to receive their health insurance there will be no immediate change in their coverage and what about the political fallout what do we expect there. well you know it's very interesting in the early days after. the affordable care act was passed and put into law it was

quite unpopular and the republican party made it a. big goal of theirs to overturn it they tried multiple times to overturn it were unable to do so even after president trump came into office but in the interim it seems that the act has become much more popular with american voters and many of the democratic candidates who ran successfully in last year's congressional last month excuse me november's midterm congressional elections did so by making health care and affordable health care the centerpiece of their campaigns and many republicans were even backpedaling in an attempt to sort of tap into this public concern about health care saying that they didn't want to take away things like protections for creek and preexisting conditions

for a for people that would prevent them from getting health care outside of obamacare so. there could be some serious political fallout for republicans here if they are seen as depriving medical care or medical health insurance at least from many millions of people and i also mention that on the progressive wing the left wing of the democratic party many politicians are going even further calling for a form of universal health care the kind that is seen in most advanced western economies in europe japan and elsewhere calling that the medicare for all and so that has become a popular rallying cry among the democrats. so it's quite possible that this long anticipated long worked for. or attempted demise of obamacare by the

republicans could backfire right to rob reynolds giving us the update from washington thank you and on face book william is saying this ridiculous that obamacare would be unconstitutional as if looking after your people could be unconstitutional also elizabeth via facebook writing to us asking why is the u.s. so against free health care when countries who have it are successful and free health care would actually make the us great again duane saying it is unconstitutional to force people to get health insurance and lastly raney saying free health care free education that's how you make the u.s. a great again so thank you for sending in your comments to us here at the news grid let's take a look at some of the other stories making news right around the world right now and sri lanka has disputed prime minister that's my head there was a pox on has resigned he said his decision to step down was to make way for the president to form a new government for the pocks it was appointed seven weeks ago setting off a political crisis that's left without

a functioning government. any amend there's been fighting on the outskirts of whole day though less than a day after warring parties agreed to a ceasefire in the port city video aired by houthi t.v. appears to show airstrikes by the saudi amounts of coalition which has been battling against the whole of the rebels. there this is blood aggression a violation of the cease fire these are the two. other ones in. hanging between life and death then the son said the home three women the airstrike targeted the residence right here look at the blood look at the shelf until this the ceasefire they are trying to promote mercy. the lorries out to the front lines not to turn civilians areas the u.k. prime minister to resign may is back in london after crunch talks with european leaders she went to brussels looking for concessions on her back said agreement but european leaders showed no signs of budging punin looks at how british m.p.'s and

the media are reacting. members of parliament scatter around the country to the constituencies and mull over local issues you know housing benefits joblessness that kind of things but no doubt bracks it is dominating the headlines and the thoughts all rattle through a couple of the headlines from the newspapers here in the u.k. here's the times rich leads with may's deal is dead it says the cabinet has agreed that may's deal is dead but they can't agree what kind of alternative proposal should take its place in the guardian it says angry and bruised may returns empty handed the guardian saying she's been left brutally exposed by the failure to find some kind of compromise from the european union on the very breck's it approach daily express says why the hell do we bother that is why the hell do we bother trying to find an accommodation with the european union the express would prefer just to go for odd breck's it's the article it's getting probably the most mileage

here is an article by the rudd she is the work i'm pensions secretary a former home secretary and she has asked how can we break the bricks if deadlock and what she's advocating is a kind of government of national unity she's not the first to advocate such a proposal nikki morgan the former education minister proposed it on monday during the press of debate but amber rudd is certainly the most senior and occurrence cabinet minister and so it's adding extra weight to the fact that there doesn't seem to be an agreement a majority for anything. well the diplomatic and political dispute between the u.s. and iran has spilled over into iraq and it's having an effect on energy supplies there iraq relies on iranian gas for nearly half of its energy but u.s. sanctions are threatening that arrangements and now the new government in baghdad is treading a fine line to try to keep both sides and its people satisfied charlotte ballasts

reports. in baghdad's main market iraqi shoppers hunt for bargains is popular because it's full of cheap iranian products the neighbors a strong trade partner has a relationship american leaders want to disrupt this is u.s. energy secretary rick perry in baghdad this week he brought with him fifty business people tossing the end of iraq's relationship with iran and new possibilities for america at the time has come for iraq to revive to rebuild all to revitalize and i'm here to tell you that america. and its business community stand ready to assist you in that in that endeavor u.s. sanctions on iran will reimposed in november after donald trump pulled out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal is aimed to isolate tehran and stop their energy exports

that's a problem for iraq because nearly half the country is powered by iranian guess. it's a sensitive subject for iraq's fledgling new government electricity cuts fueled riots in the southern city of basra over the summer the last. gas is very important and necessary for us i think that the american side broadly understands this issue the american side is cooperating with iraq to find solutions that one harm iraq. we iraq will send a delegation to washington soon to settle this matter the u.s. did give iraq a forty five day waiver to keep importing iranian gas and electricity that waiver expires next week. prime minister mahdi must balance u.s. wants with his country's needs including cheap iranian goods the tension played out at last month's baghdad international trade fear sanctions a kick to in five days prior is iran nearly doubled its number of booths to fifty eight saudi arabia in the u.s.

pulled out in protest of the iranian storms i know i'm erica tried to push the iraq government under the pressure to stop the activities stop the relation between iraq but we are here and we want to say to all iraqi people are we want to start a business here. iraq needs to rebuild after years of war and iran's businessmen know international pariah is a disparate for the word. rocks new government tasked with keeping the u.s. and iran on side to keep iraqi spending and satisfied ballasts out his era. the us government has returned three historic church bells taken from the philippines as trophies during the one thousand or one war it's seen as a breakthrough for the former u.s. colony which has struggled for repatriations from the superpower jamila and dog and reports from the eastern philippines. the bunny the massacre is considered the

single biggest defeat for the u.s. military during the philippine american war between one thousand nine hundred ninety two ninety two but for the philippines it is a reminder that over a century ago a handful of filipinos on the wallows fought against a superpower to fight for democracy. here in the found. there is infested area residents say they are thankful after one hundred seventy years the bells are finally home they say these antiquated bells evokes so much emotion not because they would look good in this town that's long been held back by poverty basically but they see the bill so represents something deeper missing chest pieces of history a reminder as well that once upon a time filipinos did whatever it took to fight for their freedom well at least seven civilians have been killed after a gun battle in indian administered kashmir where security forces were targeting

rebels hundreds of people attended funeral services for the three fighters who were killed on saturday morning in the pool while my region the civilians who killed who had been killed as have been protesting the government's raid some residents say the protesters were trying to help rebel fighters escape one indian soldier was also killed in the fighting. to togo were violent protests have hit the country that's ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections what's the latest on that story sara well during violence in tiger has escalated in the protests are continuing on social media as well in fact at least three people have been killed over the last week and more were injured in confrontations between protesters and security forces now that includes a twelve year old boy who was shot in the head and the video of that has gone viral also on social media the government has found protests ahead of the election later this month but togo's opposition is now accusing the government of deploying police and soldiers in what it calls a brutal crackdown the u.s.

french and german embassies are all saying that they're following this situation with concern now amnesty amnesty international has voiced similar concerns and it's urging the tonys authorities to respect the right they say it's a peaceful assembly and in a statement said even after a child was killed tigers authorities continue to fuel the violence by deploying military officers carrying firearms to protest sites which risks. seeing an already tense situation of people in togo are using the hash tag you can just see that it's for kits and that's to rally support on facebook and twitter it's a reference the president who's been in power for thirteen years off taking over from his father and here is some of the videos that have also been posted online and we have been. one yet i don't think it's not one might get. rid of what they're referring the other one. we have over and over again but you

give me a day knowing that the people of the one of the willing to give lessons is that condition. you do. i'm making this video to demand liberation from my friends my colleagues my people my friend has been in prison now for almost two years because we are demanding liberation the more that you see the anger is quite possible then that's why there's been protests in tokyo since september last year that's when for moscow movement starts to grow as more civil society groups and opposition members got involved in fact they were first calling for the reintroduction of the two term limits for presidents but their demands change into the resignation of the current president for not saying bay and the movement mainly uses twitter and facebook as well as blogs and whatsapp but the government has been fighting back by cutting off the internet service that now earlier this month tigers parliament adopted a new law on cyber security and human rights group says it's significantly restricts freedom of expression among other things it criminalizes the publication

of what's considered false information with up to three years in prison and human rights activists for a reader she tweeted saying we are filled with rage we are hurting that once again this regime is getting away with killing us fifty one years of brutal dictatorship is our story and again this is what we just mentioned so it's always good to hear from you if specially if you happen to be there do you connect with us you can always find me on twitter. yeah just a reminder of all the ways that you can get in touch with us here on the news grid our online platforms will be up on your screen in just a moment where on twitter use the hash tag a.j. news great our handle is a.j. english we're also on facebook at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera you can send us a message on whatsapp or telegram plus nine seven four five zero triple one four nine the number is right there and once again for the crew watching us on facebook live you're about to see the story of a blind surfer competing for

a world title challenging others with disabilities to push their limits and in sport in just a moment canelo alvarez steps up a way to divide. and in search of more gold but is he taking a big risk paul will join us after the break. stories generate thousands of headlines with different dining goals from different perspectives a caravan is a fact helpful email and highly dangerous one of the major issues before voters is

the institution president from cannot stop talking about the news to separate the spin from the facts the misinformation from the judge and some pretty sharp rise of the a.b.c.'s reporting free to leave the listening post on al-jazeera 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 their loyalty becomes questionable reason to people that are solved in the h one n one what is it getting what if it gets like you now a w h o has this chaz who says done here in terms of trust that you trust a knowledge is the.

hello again policy here and a big boxing match in new york and one fighter quite a lot bigger than the other pole yet very much so during as we'll see in just a second but history is on the line for one of the sport's top stars later on mexico's canelo alvarez taking on britain's rocky fielding at madison square garden up for grabs is the w.p.a. super middleweight title held by fielding head who's towering over the way and this is one of the sport's less prestigious world titles but winning it will nonetheless mean a championship and a third weight division for canelo both fighters made white on friday and the spite the mexican giving away height weight and reach advantage he's the heavy favorite so when we put on the bottom in our city glory history and legacy to be the very important things to me that i don't care what the critics think about how easy this

fight an enemy because i know what's in front of me and i'm prepared to make history as well as fight also represents a landmark moment for how fight fans watch the sport it's the first bout of an eleven fight contract canelo has signed with online streaming service does with a minimum of three hundred sixty five million dollars it's a change from the pay per view model in the us those fights can cost seventy to one hundred dollars while does own costs funds about ten dollars a month for as a whole host of sports and entertainment brands like the n.b.a. and n.h.l. and w w e adopting similar streaming platforms right well joining us now is that ring magazines that ryan tsonga leah who's in new york and will be reporting the fights ryan canelo is stepping up white classes is this fight a risk any more than stepping in a ring and getting punched in the head is usually a risk. thanks for having me paul. i think

that going up to one hundred sixty pounds he has. taken a calculated risk because rocky fielding is taller he's heavier he is the physically bigger men but he gives up those advantages to not really advantages if you don't use them so by getting close the way that he likes to fight i think he's actually playing into canelo alvarez his hands i think that this is a very good style match up to make canelo alvarez look like the three hundred sixty five million man that he is right now. but rocky fielding is an underdog you pulled off a big upset in his last fight to get this opportunity but he is. stepping up significantly in class and canelo alvarez is not the kind of guy that you want to stand in front of and trade body shots with. us an interesting point you raise i mean he has the

belt is it too easy to win one of those in boxing these days. i think so unfortunately the w b a which is the sanctioning body which is presenting one of these belts this is the they they have a lot of these minor belts so this is the regular belt they also have an interim belt i've seen them promote a gold belt in france not too long ago so the proliferation of these belts has kind of taken away some of the luster of these championships the true champion in one hundred sixty eight pounds is a man named count smith in the u.k. he actually holds a first round knockout win over rocky fielding so you can kind of see the class difference between fielding and the recognized champion of the w.p.a. and actually i think you know the probably the best one hundred sixty eight pounder in the world right now so yeah unfortunately there is a bit of an asterisk associated with canelo becoming

a three division champion i think his true future is one hundred sixty pounds where he remains the best middleway in the world right now nothing we've got about a minute left for this next question this is can always first fight as part of his big money deal with does own is this a shift in how sport is watched around the world is going online streaming i believe so and i think that design drawing so much money at this deal kind of shows how serious they are about this being the future of the way that boxing is so on h.b.o. with who had been the the flagship leader of the sport for about forty years recently got out of the sport you know showtime you know still is a major player probably the biggest player in the united states but you see e.s.p.n. they're showing boxing now and the lot of their shows are shifting over to there is pm plus app does own came in with a billion dollars behind it and they're very serious about being players think

i'm maryam namazie in london you're with al-jazeera also coming up on the back. for the third time israeli forces demolished the family home of a well known palestinian activist whose son is charged with killing a soldier track is disputed prime minister resigns allowing the president to. avoid a government shutdown and option tina's economic crisis leaves even the literary industry struggling to balance its books. french officials say more than thirty three thousand yellow vests protest as a demonstration across the country for the fifth weekend in a row that's less than half a number who turned out last saturday to have still been scenes of violence in the capital with one hundred arrested off to protest as clashed with riot police anderson is reports from paris. seems here like previous weeks

but this has been a saturday so far marked by a decline in turn out of the yellow vest protest is at the focal point of street action the up to trail police outnumbered the demonstrators early on saturday the crowd here had been told the security forces have lifted a cordon of protesters can march along the seans elisei but they will stop from going further then penned in on the pavement it was passive resistance and some strong imagery here these women dressed as mariam the symbol of the french republic facing off the police in riot gear and upon the settlers possibility this we could seen a major attempt from president a money well micro-loan to try to quell the protests with tax concessions and the increase in the minimum wage may have had some effect but the people here say the

numbers may be down for a variety of reasons the momentum is still strong you know much more job to be just like the numbers are down because we have been protesting for five weeks it's long simula vestas chose to stay at home or on the roundabouts in their town some couldn't come to paris it's also a result of the strasberg attack and i'm going to mourn if he knew those measures announced by my count come from an illegitimate government he has just done this for our movement to stop because it has hurt his popularity and image he brought a given our rights are not respected i would keep fighting. another factor that might explain lower numbers is the strasburg attack on choose day in which four people were killed with security forces stretched the government had called on the yellow vests to scale down the protests at aside from all at the christmas holiday season is here although you'd never guess that by looking at the show's ollie's a this weekend to gas in the air again this demonstration is ending much the same way

as the war in the last week of president marc wrong thinks that he's calming the situation down that might be a pretty sure judgment under simmons al-jazeera paris. well yellow vest protests began in november in anger at tax rises for days a lot less common fuel used by motorists these oil prices have already risen some twenty three percent in the past twelve months but president macron was planning to further increase it by six and a half cents a liter in january after weeks of protests he scrapped the tax rise and this week announced an increase in the minimum wage and tax cuts for pensioners those concessions will cost the government eleven billion dollars pushing its budget deficit above the three percent g.d.p. limit and the protests themselves of cost businesses more than a billion dollars in damage and loss trade and reduced the country's growth let's go live now to bennett's myth who is in paris for us well so security forces appear

to be making their presence felt on the streets that but it behind you the numbers might be lower than last week but still a determination on the part of demonstrators to turn out for a fifth weekend of protests. yes my what we've had in the last few hours is this sort of cats and mouse operation between some groups of yellow bus protesters on the french security forces are between the bus a lot. to my left and we've basically groups of protesters trying to move around they keep walking around different areas gathering in different areas in the police keep closing them off the most significant difference i noticed this week compared to other weeks is that you have not the sort of violent groups within some the protesters attacking and smashing up shops and cars and vehicles that sort of thing that hasn't been any about have that any of that this time around. these peaceful demonstrators moving around paris the numbers are down but of course they

are their presence is still disrupted because we've had shops closed roads closed off the metro system many metro strong stops are closed as well and people are put off for. i'm coming into central paris affecting businesses so there are protesters the numbers are down it's peaceful but disruptive and the yellow vest protest is still managing to make that point. and we were hearing just earlier about some of the concessions that have been made by the government of president emanuel on despite the fact that it goes against his own economic plans and economic reforms this doesn't appear to have satisfied the protesters are they likely to continue turning out. i mean the thing is there's no leadership of the group so it's very difficult to get a majority opinion or leading opinion from yellow bus protesters who managed to

speak to the ones we've spoken to earlier in the week. they will tell you that they're not satisfied with the concessions markram has made just a veneer though some of them so small at this increase in the minimum wage this stopping of a tax increase for pensioners that will happen but it's not enough because there are still many sort of working class lower middle class families struggling to make ends meet struggling to make wage loss from one month to the other people who say halfway through the month they run out of money and this concession is not going to give them money so the protests continuing but the numbers are down it is also very very cold and it's raining heavily and that maybe something else is putting people off thanks very much but as methyl the latest there in paris. the israeli army has demolished the home of
