for well over a year now from susie end of a section vicious have been making full use of the constitution in trying right to protest against the economic policies president. but the often uncompromising response of your thirty's has raised disturbing questions about the appropriate use of force to police those demonstrations today on the roof has been to investigate claims that from his democratic principles of being on the most.

barely a year old may 16th of march 29 t. . yellow vests protesters were back on parish. a famous street that they felt appeared to my eyes the political and economic system that had excluded them. shops were broken into and fires. 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 new on the floor. replied control is done while daveed load in steam says he's 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 insult or more 00 offered alternative is that evolution is full of poor. job i could talk more on this. simple soaking wisconsin office with. 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 the design mr boies i know so between they don't get in addition to the fear issue that the new regime in order to reach even got a bill 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 ferocity of the police response the weapons use and the detentions of protests there's always serious questions about tactics used by the french police.

burgundy fronds. many of the protesters come from the country's neglected rural regions. we've come to meet great unseen who explained how the yellow vest movement started in november 28th seen leaving john boehner. vulnerable by. those who call. protesters 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 off and so forth. so. called the war not cuckoos jobs and the best things about being. in the

implementers aside are. the protesters effected traffic book aids and disrupted an infrastructure which they said serve the economic elite and they have shared an anger at losing out so often in prison officers on the linking of us proponent of over 4 dollars also as well so much as so much of all these all the. spawn of music you might not know. that. 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 protesters probably menu system lists knows them here in mcallen city to see. on the list 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. a blog post as in the.

gaza conversion. district i'm only many 1st on. to science i mean the critics are more issues for press row. so than in my answer thanks for the example don't they manifest as. francis police authorities declined to speak to us about their tactics during protests. but a police trainer said he told me 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 you'd 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 little baby. broke a little contact the chronic disease. will be real. compound compounds tampon bomb. was discussed

a lot within 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. almost deserves that for the victim yank it was wanted and there's only to serve you think everything is just as you want to go not for non-defensive the only assume you're not worried when i. know you want. them to talk to the people which if you're just a minute is that the demands of the mission must be just as on. the syncretism by.

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 now the president at home said that he was moved by the plan except more violence suffered by protests 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 solidarity day. he's all but. it's an approach to policing protests known as strategic incapacitation controversial because people here would be in a rested 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 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 you and i only hope yes those are all watching watching. we 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 you don't want to hear the firstborns like real bullets no it's like it was done on the open and. all the people know me or.

crazy or. most of them want illegal drugs. and. suddenly the police turned up behind the camera because when we have a bunch of police now wondering what we're doing they're going to get for sticking in that school should be 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 got destroyed but we would put all those. people in support and good is much better if you did washing but you would be fooled of course we texted you posted you. 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 carrying gas masks and helmets to stay safe during the expected confrontations

because you want to keep it overly guarded my security and secret in many signs are that it was you know a fair amount of you saying that case you know where i got the price is missing is on my list you know some political game about what are you completely and the palatable on the blogs. by now other journalists we're starting to film us. and officer took our kit and we were told we could only have it back once the g. 7 summit was over. or no one is going in the front room all so i can see a symbolic lesions to your frustrations and he did the goebbels on concorde on his own with a message as it goes so through your book who does this as your name will be on point on a concept you wanted also yours and the more you cruises on to go america is always positive news the wrong idea but because it was. 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. watched. we actually super lucky that the wind is blowing in that direction because it started with the about and without the protection gear that you boarded. only around $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 events continued over the following days and controversially they included stull 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 of police put a piece on paper because of in demand yeah the gowns are not audience and many fist go nowhere man yeah and seeing the who printed put it up. on you that is all. risking their well proved it is all talk and i think there's no. visibility coming. or improperly completed in which i can move you know. keep people similar. but it's devolves that it evolved to.

yeah and. the question on it is all so the sisters who are anybody. who zach 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 played in steam again together with several other yellow vests all being wounded during demonstrations was all very new. and

all. just did not make. more dollars in. the men who called themselves the collective of the wounded showed us an 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 a false. design with them so i look different you know p c's. 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 nosy ya know you will see the movie pieces mahsud use of logic to drop a concept of it will move to the city if you will also so small a young fellow 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 disappearance get to be secretary more. maturity to those limits and issues to seek you're going to examine. the best legal. 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 to your thirty's are in no hurry to accept it. the following morning the yellow vests set off towards the weapons factory. olivea

who had a swiss yellow vests ally wants to ban the export of l b d s on the basis that they are classed as a weapon of war here in switzerland but used against civilians in front. of the big unless it was just a set of big on the backs of these are for them or give us a costume or less rich kid or the i did yes it is i believe this is my lower part of how we go this could be for the most of the time of these people they were hoping that the weapons manufacturers c.e.o. would speak to them. more. and more see. more of it so john did you. see what you saw more often want to. see. it. but at the weapons factory everyone had gone into hiding. come on to the song to actually see him and launch my blysse generally

e.c.g. a foggy question of young is. so he thought oh my god they will come out and if you just see a look they're looking at us and we know that. 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 events i guess i'll be on there you're doing my work here. and they said they. require should have been in. place right at the head count planted it was a call to the prince who. record. company in

iceland or. for little supporters remember. this is where you are on. the. news i wish him from the left out so. this. is a no go. september 29 t. . we return to meet biden 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 20 who lost his hand due to a police going 8 told us protesters have been unfairly branded as violent. fashion was used to shoot on his own to lead told him going. on nothing much is

all on of are passive all of us i'm sure don't oh i think you know your own. 000-000-0000 extension 00 point 0 slug an older version i was. in november 28th seen the yellow vests began their protests believing that france's 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.
