vest protesters were back on parish. a famous street that they felt appeared to mice the political and economic system that had excluded the. shops were broken into and fire snapped. it had become a hell of a strategy to protest without permission and in places of power where the government had never tolerated demonstrations protests that had been authorized by the government they said had failed to get results. the police responded with unmitigated force using military grade tear gas grenades and riot control guns . that's you on the floor. replied 30 countries

don't want blood in steam says he'd been getting ready to leave when a rubber bullet from a police riot control gun took out his eye. the weapon called n l b d 40 was developed for self-defense but on this day french police were using it for crowd control it's designed to injure protesters lightly and should never be fired at the head. do you think he could have been mistaken between aiming at your head or your chest opposite of it's not there more than 00 effort. is that evolution is full of poor. and. simple so construction office would. daveed and the other yellow vests have always insisted they are a social movement desperate to get their voices heard but france's president stayed

silent when they 1st took to the streets and when he finally spoke it was in order to justify the use of full state force to crush them on a design mr boies i know so deeply. they don't do in addition to the fear issue that the new regime in order to reach even though they're going to finish on the side of the mississippi. almost a year of confrontations have caused some soul searching. the right to protest is taken very seriously here in france and in the wake of the yellow vests protest there are growing concerns that it's being threatened the philosophy of the police response the weapons used and the detentions of protests there's always serious questions about tactics used by the french police. burgundy frogs. many of the protesters come from the countries neglected rural

regions. we've come to meet great and steen who explained how the yellow vest movement started in november 28th seen living john boehner. who still. has those who call. to. protest this began to occupy roundabouts after the government increased fuel prices but anger had been building since the economic crisis 10 years earlier. the government had bailed out big banks said david but failed to support small businesses. in the process often simply. got so. called the war not cuckoos jobs and the best things about being. in the room full mortars or so on. the protesters erected traffic book aids and disrupted

an infrastructure which they said so the economic elite and they had shared an anger at losing out so often in prison officers on the linking of us proponent of them with. dollars also as well so much as so much of all these all the. music you might know. of it. it was in the cities where violence erupted and where the police were overwhelmed. joined by militant protest is called black block yellow vests carried out symbolic acts of destruction that shocked france and the world. the police equipped with some of the most menacing weapons available to european law enforcement. to crack down hard blow. for tear gas grenades filled with $25.00 milligrams of explosives had rained on protesters

causing injuries and even loss of limbs. after 4 months the ministry of interior estimated that around 1600 police were injured and on the other so you over 2000 protestors probably menu system lists norms then when you're in a back home city to see. not. just all. in this kind of. hanukkah. have you lost i lose it in this room that has announced their manifesto. want to leave. us so. i can design. blog post. the conversion. and the stock to mourn the many fist on. the critics from.

so done in my answer thanks for the exam to don't they manifest us from. france as police authorities declined to speak to us about their tactics during protests. but a police trainer said he if we disguised his identity. in. the train i demonstrated the precision of the l.d.d. . first he aimed at the targets head. and then he shot the dummy squarely in the chest. was it already broken or did you break it. meant to not. speak it wasn't the impact of the weapon that drew his criticism but the failure of

police officers to use it properly. and that in 20182 months before the yellow vests started marching the national audit office had criticised the low number and poor quality of police training facilities. i was source says the riot control guns were nevertheless given to the insufficiently trained offices. if. they block block every little contact in the corner. compound compound plan pompom. was discussed a lot with police circles.

the police training like this should be funded by the interior ministry. but why are they not doing it. 2019 b. ever it's president mccall had invited the world leaders to the g. 7 summit and the global media had gathered to follow the events. the french government had done everything it could to lower the risk of violent encounters with protesters and we found a region under tight control. 13000 extra police officers have been drafted in from across europe to help provide security. opponents of the g. 7 were being kept over 20 kilometers away on the border with spain. worth or a tease had given permission for a march. in.

one of those fronting it was 73 year old genevieve a protester who had been seriously injured by the police at a yellow vest march 5 months earlier. after suffering a fractured skull and 5 broken groups she was a bit fragile but ready to march again. most of the service that the victim yankee was fond of and there's only reserved you think everything is just as yet and you cannot for non-defensive the only assume you're not worried when having. no. one to talk to in the present as you can determine if this is the man used to do the mission was because it was. in sync with his own. to the. the march set off towards the spanish border although hoping it would unfold

peacefully. the government's forceful approach to policing protests had drawn criticism not just at home. but also abroad causing the president to strike a more conciliatory note. just before the g 7 started president manhole said that he was moved by the plan except more violence suffered by protesters in iran he said that from now on his government would act with transparency and more justice everybody is watching the protests here now to see what will happen. in the run up to the g. 7 summit the police relied heavily on new legal powers given to them at the height of the yellow vests protests. that could now as protesters on the mere suspicion that they might pose a threat to public order and a number of people have been put in detention slowly but.

he's all but. it's an approach to policing protests known as strategic incapacitation controversial because people here would be in a arrested before any crimes had actually been committed. and then the $10000.00 demonstrators reached the border. the protesters are now crossing this bridge out of france and into spain which means that today so far at least there's been no violent confrontation with the french police. but we've heard that in and also vice demonstration was planned in the nearby city of by your own by militant protesters on the grounds that having to ask the state for permission to demonstrate infringe their constitutional right.

the rest had taken place throughout the previous night and a heavy police presence was in place to stop an expected 1500 militant protesters from reaching the city center. to our surprise a protester who slipped through the security cordon agree to speak to us on condition that we hide his face. do you think there's going to be violence today yet by our money i hope yes those are all watching and watching. still he told us he started out as a peaceful yellow vests protester but that police violence radicalized him you have to be crazy to feel what was your 1st born it's not real bullets no it's like it was done on open and. all the people know me or. people. will still. want. to support and.

suddenly the police turned up behind the camera because when we have a bunch of police now wondering what we're doing we're going to look for striking and that's for sure and you put in jail all the reason everybody's bags are getting track now. when we filmed them they left and the protesters started to justify the use of firelands so clever to feel some of the people who have to fight that we would get all those letters from people in support of good he's not that he did want you but you would be fooled that part was already exceeded by cities. around the corner the police was searching for anyone who looked like a threat to public law and order and suddenly that seemed to be us as we were carry and gas masks and helmets to stay safe during the expected confrontations i guess you want to keep it overly got it for my security to unseat him any sign of it was

you know theone to say no question about you know where i got the prices my son was on the list you know some political game about where you completely and the police on the last. by now other journalists were starting to film us. an officer took our kit and we were told we could only have it back once the g. 7 summit was over 3 feet. or no one is going into the song to me. because you don't stir your frustrations and you did the whole ball song part of. it it goes so through your book who does this film will be on point when he's not. going to the serious and the more you polices want to get married he's always calls it the wrong podium because if. left without protection it was hard to shake off the feeling that the police were not just trying to stop violent protests but the reporting on it too. but we

still made our way to the center where the clashes were about to unfold. just. reached. we're actually super lucky that the wind is blowing in that direction because it started with the about and without the protective gear that you told. me of on $200.00 protesters had made it to buy on and past the checkpoint and within a couple of hours they were contained by the police. in the end it had been a small protest especially by french standards. but of us continued over the following days and controversially they included stuff

from a human rights organization so by the time the g 7 was over civil society observers were voicing criticism that not only violent protests but free speech and democratic rights had been suppressed to. meet our point and police put a piece of paper because of in demand yeah the gowns are not our doesn't manifest as you go nowhere man yeah saying the hip to me today this all. sounds fun and you know that is all cyclical to. the risk of the opera but it is all talk and i think there's no. visibility. or important employer and we're talking with you know. people similar. but it's devolved that it devolved movie too. yeah and. the question on it is on

so the grammys is this for anybody. who zack to be. in the swiss alps over 600 kilometers away a group of people had gathered to plan a different kind of protest the region is home to berger and tom it the swiss company that manufactures the l b d weapon used by the french police we've come to meet daveed laden steen again together with several other yellow vests all being wounded during demonstrations. we get it on their. own all the. money just did

not make. them all dollars in. the man who called themselves the collective of the wounded showed us n l b d bullet here in switzerland it is classified as a weapon of war a lot of mine a former army section chief was hit in the neck. but you pull off the jury of design we come so a lot different you know p. says. each of these men had requests that the inspector general of the french national police to launch an investigation into their injury but without much success. ok so noisy you know you will see the more the pieces lossage of logic to drop a concept of it will cause you're only going to fuel source or swallow your alone was angry that the authorities had failed to open an investigation into this case

despite the mountain of evidence he supplied you know where you live for to. have a day of a disappearance get in the circuit in more. detail maturity to those limits on issues to secure can exert. a. little beetle. in fact these men are not isolated cases since the beginning of the yellow vests protest well over $300.00 investigations into alleged police violence have been opened and less than a handful have been concluded if any of them have been unfairly wounded it seems the authorities are in no hurry to accept it. the following morning the yellow vests set off towards the weapons factory. who had a swiss yellow vests and i wants to ban the export of l b d s on the basis that they're classed as

a weapon of war here in switzerland but used against civilians in front. of the big unless he's just set up being the. desire for the move to further consume less streets and it is the soldiers are lower police helicopters could be so most of them are. it's been a bit but we're hoping that the weapons manufacturers c.e.o. would speak to that. level. of it such on the menu. what you. want to. see. but at the weapons factory everyone had gone into hiding come on to the song to at least see him and take your lumps in my blysse yeah generally e.c.g. a foggy question and yeah it's just. so we don't just go they will come out and if

you just see i look they're looking at us when they are. instead the man took photos for the social media campaign for straighted by the failure of france's authorities to launch investigations into their injuries they have clung to a faint hope that change may come from switzerland. it was a very demure pass and he. had to listen. to the prince and then sometimes i'll be on their your best on again you now want to say and guess and they said they won't require have been memoir misrata had tussles icons planted it was a call to the prince who would require. only thing if it's you know any innocent oh he. did they could afford it also potentially memory but they still.

need to miss it when you're on a potato they put in the form and use irish indigents in disproportionate effort. mark and it's pretty. no you don't go. into. a. bar do september 2019. we return to meet the burden steen one last time. he was back on the streets with a collective of the wounded to call on the government to ban the weapons that injured them. and try and bloody me who lost his hand due to a police grenade told us protesters had been unfairly branded as violent. culture was used to shoot on his own to little jews are. on the team marches out on of us are passive all of us i'm sure own oh as

a love your own just as it was dispose of all 3 of your own child your body sludge although as you see how close it was. in november 28th seen the yellow vests began their protests believing that france is political and economic system was stacked against them. almost a year later they were still on the streets this time with crosses for those who have been injured and who are waiting for justice few of them believe that the french state cares much about their welfare these days let alone the issues that brought them out to protest in the 1st place. legally prescribe for the pain relief of the sick but taken in life threatening
