welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: french anger on the streets of paris. "yellow vest" protesters take on police in the heart of the city. after talks between presidents trump and xi, china says the us won't impose new tariffs injanuary. hello, and welcome to bbc news. there have been running street battles in the heart of paris during the latest protests by the so—called "yellow—vests," or "giletjaunes." more than 200 people have been arrested during the third successive weekend of demonstrations. the protesters are angry at rises in taxes, especially on fuel. today they clashed with riot police on the champs elysees. police used water cannon and stun grenades to drive back demonstrators. hugh schofield sent this report from paris. darkness fell at the end of a day

of violence in paris and still, it went on. at the arc de triomphe, covered now in anti—macron graffiti, police fired water cannon to clear the crowds. and here in the gardens by the louvre, one protester is now in a coma after they tore down the metal grille. this evening, the arc de triomphe is back under police control but there are still knots of protesters out there, there's still the tang of tear gas in the air. and in the streets around here, a trail of destruction — cars burned out, shop windows smashed, bank windows smashed. parisians are used to protest, but this has been of a rare violence. all day, there were running battles between riot police and yellow vest protesters. though how many of these

were actually agitators of the far right and the far left is one unanswered question. they tore rock cobblestones to fling at police and set alight to cars and buildings. and amid the scenes of destruction, ordinary people who'd come from across france to demonstrate peaceably — they didn't want the violence to divert attention from their central message, which is that taxes in france have gone too far. translation: abraham lincoln said something important. he said that government should be of the people, by the people, for the people — for the people. our politicians should keep that in mind. they won't get anywhere until they put people first. translation: we've all had enough. it's been been going on for so long and eventually, you have to resist. there's no choice. who are you? we are the people! you do not have to look any further — not right, not left. we are just the simple people. the intensity of the violence has left france shocked. it leaves president macron with an urgent dilemma — does he appease or face down this protest of the people? hugh schofield, bbc news, paris.

while the tear gas was being deployed in paris, president macron was in buenos aires at the 620 summit. he gave this reaction to the violence on the streets of his capital city. translator: what happened in paris today has absolutely nothing to do with the peaceful demonstration of a legitimate unhappiness or discontent, but this does not justify the public buildings being set afire. thatjournalists be threatened or the arc de triomphe be tagged. the authors of these violence do not want change. they don't want any improvement, they don't. they just want to wreak chaos. and they betray the causes that they're pretending to serve. they will be identified and they will be held responsible for their actions and they will be taken to court. as soon as tomorrow morning, when i get back to paris, i called a meeting with the prime minister, the minister of the interior and all of the services involved. let's turn to the 620 in argentina now, where the leaders are leaving buenos aires as the summit closes. the final communique has been issued — and perhaps not unexpectedly, the document is a bit of a compromise.

on climate change, all the members agreed to implement the paris agreement — apart that is from the us, which reiterated its decision to withdraw from it. there was an agreement to reform the world trade organisation — but there was no promise to fight protectionism. it might have been hard to agree that, given the current trade war between the us and china. donald trump and xi jinping spent two and a half hours locked in talks. they ended a little while ago, but without any comment from either side. this was what president trump said as the meeting started. we'll be discussing trade and i think at some point, we are going to end up doing something which is great for china and great for the united states and i love very much forward to the dinner, i look very much forward to the discussion and, i'm sure, discussions after but the relationship is very special, the relationship that i have with president xi, and i think that is going to be a very primary reason why we'll probably end up — ending up getting something that will be good for china and good for the united states. philip levy is a senior fellow

at the chicago council on global affairs and he's a former trade adviser to former president george w bush. he's joins us from chicago. thank you very much for your time. we have heard in the last half—hour oi’ we have heard in the last half—hour or $0 we have heard in the last half—hour or so that things went very well and there are not going to be new ta riffs there are not going to be new tariffs on china injanuary that had been talked about. what does all that mean indie wash up? -- what does all that mean in the wash—up. it went as well as we could have expected. are still details we would like to know when it comes to new ta riffs like to know when it comes to new tariffs in january. like to know when it comes to new tariffs injanuary. a couple of things were threatened. one was an increase in the tariffs that are already in place, and another was a tariff on additional goods that have not been put in place yet. but it sounds quite cordial. in simple

terms, if we can just step back a moment, could you remind us why president trump imposed these ta riffs president trump imposed these tariffs on china, and why this trade war has escalated 7 tariffs on china, and why this trade war has escalated? a couple of reasons. the proximal reason for the $250 billion worth of goods hit with ta riffs $250 billion worth of goods hit with tariffs is an investigation into chinese intellectual property practices. what president trump has a complaint about in additional comments is a whole range of chinese practices, including the difficulty of getting into the chinese market, chinese subsidies, and so some of this is industrial policy, the china 2025 programme. he has not been terribly specific in terms of his complaints. they have been barrett —— a very broad. that has been one reason they were difficult to resolve. given there are so many issues president trump as with china, what is the best outcome we can hope for now as we continue to

get details on this latest meeting? i think the best outcome we can hope for is that they meant what they said about not increasing the existing tariffs onjanuary one and not imposing additional tariffs on the remaining us trade with china, and hopefully that accompanies a constructive dialogue with china. i should warn, however, that we have seen a number of agreements between the us and china under the trump administration and often, within a week or so, they have been followed bya week or so, they have been followed by a rethink on the part of the administration. i hope that is not the case this time. just briefly, we have been seeing this trade war, some of the figures are quite large. what have been the consequences of the us of these tariffs? they are just starting to be felt. we have been talking about a trade war for a very long time but the tariffs themselves have ramped up fairly recently. the vast bulk didn't come in until the end of september. so we arejust

in until the end of september. so we are just darting to see that it is actually a little bit too soon to see that in the data. —— just starting. it is certainly a worry and it is affecting investment decisions. philip leavy, thank you very much for that analysis. recovery efforts are continuing in alaska after a large earthquake on friday. the epicentre was about 13 kilometres north of the state's biggest city, anchorage. our north america correspondent james cook reports. we are now very close to where the epicentre of this 7—magnitude earthquake rattled alaska and, as you can see, they are working hard to try to clear away the damage. they're worried about this piece of road because there have been many, many aftershocks. they want to get this unstable ground removed as quickly as possible. there is a crack running along there as well, as you can see. there is also see a small crack on the other side of the road and they're concerned with more and more aftershocks — more than 500 so far — that this could potentially collapse at any moment. so they're working fast to clear it, to make it safe, and then, of course, they're going to start the work on repairing and rebuilding the road.

this isn't the only place this is happened. there's quite a few areas around anchorage where there has been significant damage to infrastructure. but on the whole, this place has held up very, very well, and what was a really strong earthquake — and one which rattled alaskans who are used to earthquakes, there are thousands every year, they are pretty resilient people here and they are used to them but many people said they were quite frightened by this one, which went on for a good long time. very severe, violent shaking, and actually, it seems quite remarkable that they have escaped to the extent that they have. one of the reasons for that, though, is because the history of alaskan earthquakes — everyone talks about 1964, and then there was a 9.2 magnitude earthquake, one of the most powerful ever recorded on the earth. that prompted alaskans to think about their building codes, their regulations, and clearly, the work that they did then and in years since has paid off, because very, very few structures were destroyed by this quake. one of the reasons for that, though, is because the history of alaskan earthquakes — everyone talks about 1964, and then there was a 9.2 magnitude earthquake, one of the most powerful ever recorded on the earth. that prompted alaskans to think about their building codes, their regulations, and clearly,

the work that they did then and in years since has paid off, because very, very few structures were destroyed by this quake. the body of former us president george hw bush is to lie in state next week ahead of a day of national mourning. his body will be flown to the capitol on monday where the public will be able to pay their respects. the 41st president died on friday, aged 94. he will be buried alongside his wife barbara in texas at a later date. many tributes are coming in for the former president. you can read them on the bbc news website, or download the bbc news app. let's go back to the g20 summit in argentina. theresa may has assured world leaders in buenos aires,

that her eu withdrawal plan will be "a good deal for the global economy." but she's suffered a fresh blow, after the resignation of another member of her government over brexit. the universities and science minister, sam gyimah, says the prime minister's proposal is "a deal in name only," which would remove britain's voice and veto, and lead to it to being "hammered" in future negotiations with brussels. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from buenos aires. how many times can she confront attacks from her own side? for theresa may, the answer seems to be as many as it takes, defending her deal again. this deal sets the path for the uk for the brighterfuture. it has been affirmed by the discussions i have had on trade over the past two days. with friends and partners making clear they are keen to sign and implement ambitious free—trade agreements with us as soon as possible. the number of

posing your deal is going up rather than down. when will you accept that you are losing support? the next nine days are really important time proud country. allowing this deal to go ahead, passing this deal in the boat that takes place in the house of commons will take us to certainty for the future. and failure to do that would only lead to uncertainty. but there is real uncertainty about her, too, not that she will admit it. there is a lot more still for me to do, steve, not least delivering on brexit and being a prime minister that does take the united kingdom out of the european union. her predicament is once you few other world leaders would want. her own party poised to reject her main policy. it goes without saying, we have a great relationship... much more serious than friendly sporting rivalry with australia. i think you have showed great resilience and great determination to resolve what is one of the most vexed issues there is. yet another

minister hasjoined the vexed issues there is. yet another minister has joined the dozens of mps pledged to vote against. sam gyimah was invited into government to be a science minister. but he's quit with an almost apocalyptic warning about theresa may's brexit compromise. we are in for several years of negotiations at the point at which we have no leverage and the eu has all the control, and they will hammer our interests and cripple our country, and also i would like to take this opportunity to express my tribute to your leadership... and while other leaders might want to help, they are worried too about what might happen next. japan asking for reassurance there won't be no deal. and forget the ceremony here. at home, there's brutal argument going on. can the prime minister persuade more mps to back her compromise with the eu that imagines close economic ties but our own control of immigration? right now, it doesn't seem so. i think there's a majority, i don't know what the size of it is, but i think there's a majority against the deal that the government is putting forward, theresa may is putting forward. after that, we're into almost

unknown territory, a lot of negotiations will have to go on. wily prime minister has been here when this parallel universe, downing street's group is shaky at. one senior tory told me at even feels right now like there is no government. number ten is waist deep in criticism of its brexit compromise. it seems almost impossible that will pass the house of commons. so of course ministers are privately discussing how to survive if the vote were to fall. but for theresa may herself, it seems there is only one decision. to keep going, almost whatever the cost. one senior colleague told me she even gets her strength from absorbing this kind of humiliation. thank you. she would never give in now. as she leaves here braced brain enormous struggle, the government can try to pretend that failure is an option. this is bbc news, the headlines:

the french president, emmanuel macron, has condemned rioting in the heart of paris by anti—government protesters angered by tax rises. president trump and his chinese counterpart, xijinping, have ended their long—awaited meeting on trade. chinese state media are saying the us agreed not to impose additional tariffs in january the new mexican president, andres manuel lopez obrador, has been sworn in at a ceremony in mexico city. this is the scene in mexico city right now. the new president is currently makeing a speech at a ceremony where representatives of mexico's indigenous groups are marking his arrival to the office of president. having run on an anti—corruption platform, mr obrador's supporters are hoping he'll tackle widespread poverty and inequality. here's our correspondent in mexico, will grant. andres manuel lopez obrador received the presidential sash

from the outgoing president to cries of "presidente" and "yes, we can" inside the chamber. "friends", he told the gathered dignitaries, "today begins the fourth transformation of mexico". basically raising his presidency to the same level as either mexican independence all the mexican revolution. he acknowledged that such a concept may seem lofty or pretentious but he believes there is a change in mexican politics on the way. specifically, he spoke about corruption in mexico. the platform on which he had been elected. he said that impunity would end, yet at the same time he also said he would not investigate top politicians facing corruption allegations. that would cause concern among supporters but they would be comforted by other elements

of his speech, specifically a freeze on petrol prices and on taxes. and mention of support for the healthcare system and the education system which are both woefully underfunded and underinvested. plenty of his critics see president obrador as a populist, as not fulfilling the content of his speech. however, his supporters would turn out in their droves in mexico city's main square to celebrate a moment they thought would never come, to see the political outsider now crowned president of mexico. let's get some of the day's other news. the top us naval officer in the middle east has been found dead at his home in bahrain. vice admiral scott stearney was commander of the fifth fleet, which is responsible for all us navy forces in the gulf region. he took over as commander last may and had 36 years of service in the navy. this is devastating news

for the stearney family, for the team at 5th fleet and for the entire navy. scott stearney was a decorated naval warrior. he was a devoted husband and father and he was a good friend to all of us. the naval criminal investigative service and the bahraini ministry of interior are cooperating on the investigation but at this time, no foul play is suspected. real admiral paul schlise, the deputy commander of 5th fleet, has assumed command and is maintaining continuity in our responsibilities and posture in the us 5th fleet. an egyptian film star is to be put on trial over the dress she wore to the cairo film festival. rania youssef has been accused by a group of lawyers of obscenity. there was widespread criticism of this outfit on egyptian social media. but some defended the actor's right to wear what she liked. rania youssef herself has issued an apology, saying she wouldn't have worn the dress if she'd known it would cause such controversy. a 98—year—old world war two veteran

who was critically injured during a violent robbery in his home in north london has died. police were called to peter gouldstone's home in bounds green on the 6th november — where they found him suffering from a head injury and extensive bruising to his body. he was taken to hospital, but died yesterday. police say they want to hear from anyone with information about the horrific attack — no one has been arrested so far. sir terry morgan, the head of britain's most expensive rail project, hs2, has told bbc news he expects to be sacked, afterjust four months in the job, because of concerns about his performance. there's been speculation over his future, after recent disclosures about costs and delays on hs2, and the other project he runs, building london's crossrail. our business correspondent joe miller has more. trains that will whiz between london and birmingham at 250 miles an hour,

and eventually reach as far as leeds — that was the promise of hs2. when you've put eight years of your life into this... and this was the man anointed to make it happen. in august, transport secretary chris grayling sung the praises of engineer sir terry morgan, the new chair of the £56 billion project. but this weekend, sir terry learned from a newspaper report that he was soon to be dismissed. i could only but assume, because i have not yet been told, that because hs2 is such a critically important programme and with the sense of disappointment around the performance of crossrail, that it was considered to be too risky for a programme like hs2 to continue in my role as chairman. sir terry was trusted to run london's vast crossrail project for almost a decade, but after delays and a projected billion pounds in extra costs, he has fallen out of favour at westminster and at city hall.

it was only at the end of august that we were told that the central section of crossrail wasn't going to open until the autumn of next year. we had also found out about significant cost overruns in the project as well. and really, that is hugely frustrating and hugely disappointing. hs2 is still officially on budget and on time, but sir terry morgan is leaving his job with a warning — that this complex infrastructure project is facing problems which are soon to emerge. the government and transport secretary chris grayling are already under pressure over chaos on the country's rail networks and with hs2, it's ultimately them and not sir terry morgan who are in the driving seat. joe miller, bbc news. the bollywood star priyanka chopra has married us singer nickjonas in india. the couple were wed in a christian ceremony inside a palace in the city of jodhpur, reportedly officiated by the groom's father.

priyanka chopra is one of bollywood's biggest female leads and her husband is a former disney star. the couple shared five photos of their special day, making note of chopra's mendi — the traditional henna body art. they said "one of the special things" about their relationship was the merging of their families, faiths and cultures. as well as today's ceremony they plan to hold a traditional hindu wedding tomorrow. with me is raj and pablo from the bbc asian network. also on the priyanka chopra. we are really well. we have become friends. we've even stayed at her house. pablo is madly in love with her. he is brokenhearted. every time a matter, i said, will you marry me?

it's a running joke. she is off the market now. it's absolutely wonderful, medical —— magical. wedding of the century. bollywood meets hollywood. two of the most gorgeous people on the planet, two superstars together. if you think about what nick has achieved an priyanka has achieved outside of bollywood on an international level, it's a huge deal. these guys are going to be big. in terms of the cove rage going to be big. in terms of the coverage they are going to get, hello has got the deal for their pictures. it is going to be massive for priyanka. one of the things about priyanka, she is down to earth and family oriented. it's magical to see them together. they are from two very different cultures. his family is from texas and they are quite orthodox catholics. but they are

quite traditional. priyanka chopra is from a hindu background. priyanka has been educated in new york, she is kind of quite a favourite with multicultural, just in terms of accepting other faiths and i think parents, especially her mother her brother. her dad has passed away. they are quite like, if this is what is going to make you happy, though very open to different cultures. with bollywood, you have christian families. hindu families. everyone gets together. they posted some pictures we have seen of some of the pratt. some of the comments. bringing families together. they seem to be nodding to those two parts. this assimilation, were it is

kind ofan parts. this assimilation, were it is kind of an acceptance. if you look at priyanka's career, it's gone from just being in bollywood and doing quantico and then going to hollywood. it's almost like an education. if i want to marry someone who is non— nation. education. if i want to marry someone who is non— nationm education. if i want to marry someone who is non- nation. if you think of the catholic tradition, it's all about large families and the wedding as well, it is centred around the family and that is what indian culture is about. if you look at some of the pictures of social networking, priyanka has pictures of herand her networking, priyanka has pictures of her and her mother—in—law everywhere and it's quite heartwarming. do you think that she is the first truly global superstar? going back about six years ago, she took a big decision. she was at the top of the profession in bollywood and decided, i want to break the hollywood market. she said, should i do it?

you are going to be the new sofia n. she was a world so —— superstar and thatis she was a world so —— superstar and that is what priyanka is becoming. she was a world so —— superstar and that is what priyanka is becominglj rememberwhen we said that is what priyanka is becominglj remember when we said that to her, she was promoting a fashion brand. and then we were in her house and she has a big massive cinema screen, she has a big massive cinema screen, she was actually watching programmes of hours and we were laughing. we stole her toothbrush and she said, that's why i'm going to marry someone lovely and she has, we love nick. i hope you get tapes of the ceremonies. raj and pablo from the bbc‘s asian network, thank you. some sport now, and we're just a few hours away from one of boxing's biggest nights of the year. these two men, america's deontay wilder and the uk's tyson fury, will step into the ring in los angeles for a heavyweight world title fight. both men are unbeaten. wilder holds the wbc belt — fury held multiple versions of the title before taking two years out from the sport with a doping ban and personal issues.

our sports correspondent dan roan takes up the story. we are going to find out whether or not tyson fury can do what very few british boxers have managed over the years and become the third in history to win a world title fight on american soil. this is familiar territory for him because he has been training here for 2.5 months and at the weigh—in yesterday there was a sense he was the home fighter. he was relaxed and positive with tremendous support from hundreds of fans. certainly, if he were to prevail tonight, given that he has lost ten stone and got himself into great shape, it will go down as one of the great british sporting comebacks. standing in his way is the punching power of deontay wilder. he has won all but one of these fights by knockout. he is undefeated and something needs to give this evening. lennox lewis in his final fight won here, let's see if tyson fury can do the same. let's have a look at

the weather with tomasz schafernaker. the atlantic wind is keeping things mild for us across much of the country. temperatures reaching double figures right now in the south. how about the weather on sunday? there will be showers around but also a little sunshine. here is a satellite image. all that cloud streaming in off the atlantic. this was earlier on and the cloud is also diving into western parts of europe where it is also very mild. france, germany and, as far as poland, the temperature is well above average for the time of year. you can see the weathermap, the pattern of weather fronts moving

in from the south—west and this pattern we'll continue to see for quite a few more days, certainly through much of the week ahead. in the early hours of sunday, most of the rain has cleared away into the near continent and behind it some clear spells but also some cloud around here and there. big temperature contrast between the north and the south of the country, cold air in the north atlantic so three degrees whereas in the south it is double figures. this weather pattern will continue through sunday and into monday. most rain has cleared away into the heart of the continent so we were left with this legacy of thick cloud which will break up from time to time and there will be some sunny spells around but, also, some rain here and there. you can see the south—westerly wind dragging in the milder air. the wind will be gusty for a time around southern and western coasts. this is where the air is coming from the north so it is quite chilly in aberdeen. six degrees, 15, possibly 16 in london so every bit as mild compared to what we had on saturday. here it is, the weather front keeps marching in. wales and then central and southern areas of the uk. expect rain from early morning on monday. notice that the wind

direction has changed across scotland perhaps some snow across the mountains early on monday that is pretty much it. to the south there is rain pushing through. if you are heading to work early on monday, take a umbrella just in case. there will be some rain at some point or another. in the afternoon, it may clear up across northern and western areas. 13 degrees in london on monday. from tuesday it stays mild, further north a cool snap for a while on tuesday and wednesday and possibly picking up again towards the end of the week.
