welcome to bbc news. 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 in january. 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. president trump and his chinese counterpart, xijinping, have held a working

dinner at the 620 summit in buenos aires. officials from both sides say the talks had gone well with chinese state television suggesting the two leaders had agreed that no additional tariffs will be imposed after january 1st. it added that negotiations between the two sides would continue. the new mexican president, andres manuel lopez obrador, has been sworn in at a ceremony in mexico city. there are many international guests in attendance, including us vice—president mike pence and ivanka trump. 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.

you are watching bbc world news. stay with us here on bbc news. still to come: the head of britain's biggest infrastructure project, hsz, has told the bbc he expects to be sacked by the government in the next few days. theresa may has assured world leaders at the 620 summit 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 a path for the uk to a brighter future,

has been affirmed by the discussions i've had on trade over the past two days with friends and partners making clear that they are keen to sign and implement ambitious free—trade agreements with us as soon as possible. the number opposing your deal is going up, rather than down. when will you accept that you are losing support? the next nine days are a really important time for our country. allowing this deal to go ahead, passing this deal in the vote that takes place in the house of commons will take us to certainty for the future, and that failure to do that would only lead to uncertainty. but there is real uncertainty about her, too — not that she will admit it. well, look, there's a lot more for me still to do, steve — not least delivering on brexit and being the prime minister that does take the united kingdom out of the european union. her predicament is one few other world leaders would want, her own party poised to reject her main policy. it goes without saying, a great relationship. much more serious than friendly sporting rivalry with australia, but a hand of friendship from him.

i think you've shown great resilience and great determination to resolve one of the most vexed issues i think there is. newjob? 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 and the point at which we have no leverage and the eu has all of the control. and they will hammer our interest and cripple our country. and also, i would like to take this opportunity to express my tribute... and while other leaders might want to help, they are worried, too, about what may happen next, japan asking for reassurance there won't be no deal. and forget the ceremony here. at home, there is 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 does not seem so. i think there is 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 and theresa may is putting forward. after that, we are into unknown territory and a lot of negotiation will have to go on. while the prime minister has been here in this parallel universe, number 10's grip is shaky at home. one senior tory told me it even feels right now like there is no government. number 10 is waist—deep in criticism of its brexit compromise. it seems almost impossible it will pass the 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'd never give in now, but she leaves here braced for an enormous struggle. the government can try to pretend that failure is an option. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, buenos aires. 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. our news correspondentjenny kumah said police were looking for anyone with information to come forward. the second world war veteran was attacked in his north london home on the sixth of november in what police described as a despicable attack on a vulnerable pensioner. suffered serious injuries, including two bleeds to his reign and bruising to his body. a number of items were

stolen from his home, including at television. in a statement, the metropolitan police say they are shocked and saddened by the news of his death and they appeal to anyone with information to search their conscience and contact the police. no arrests have been made, but they say and —— the number of enquiries are in hand and a £10,000 reward has been offered in the hope that it can lead to a conviction. sir terry morgan, the head of britain's most expensive rail project, hsz, has told bbc news he expects to be sacked, after just 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 h52, 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 h52.

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 hsz, it's ultimately them and not sir terry morgan who are in the driving seat. joe miller, bbc news. this is bbc news. the headlines: the french president emmanuel macron has condemned rioting in the heart of paris by anti—government protestors angered by tax rises. theresa may has assured world leaders at the g20 summit that her brexit plan will be "a good deal for the global economy". however, back home another member of her government has resigned. 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 capital 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. country music singer moe bandy was a close friend of george hw bush and he joins us from san antonio texas, where he's about to perform. thank you so much forjoining us at this time. i wondered how you ended up this time. i wondered how you ended up in george bush senior? —— ended up up in george bush senior? —— ended up meetings. —— ended up meeting. he was a fan of my music, thank goodness. i had a song called

americon, kind of used as a campaign song and i worked with him through the campaign and won the election. song and i worked with him through the campaign and won the electionlj got the campaign and won the election.” got to meet him, barbara and his family and he with them a lot. some of the greatest folks i have been around in my life. he was a man that loved this country, he loved our country. and he loved ourfriends in other countries too. very global, as far as he loved people everywhere. he was a brilliant man, very intelligent, but he was down to earth. he loved country music, spent a lot of time just sitting and singing for him. we are going to really miss him. what a gentleman and what he has done for our country, served in so many different capacities and we will miss him dearly. did you speak to him

recently? dearly. did you speak to him rece ntly ? i dearly. did you speak to him recently? i know he was very ill and in and out of hospital, but when was the last time you spoke to him? in and out of hospital, but when was the last time you spoke to him7m has been about a year since i talk to him. i went to barbara's funeral andi to him. i went to barbara's funeral and i talk to his people. i was checking on him quite often and seeing how he was feeling. i used to talk to him quite often on the phone. hejust loved music. he loved country music especially. we have that in common. ijust loved the way he treated people, the way he handled our country and the foreign unitarians that came too. we are just going to really miss him. you vacation with the family and with george cross senior as well ——

george cross senior as well —— george bush senior as well, i wonder if you spoke to him about some of his highs in his life, or his regrets, did he share those with you? i think he was a man who was very humble. he had to pull a lot of the stories, he didn't like to brag about himself. we had so many great moments in his life, especially when he was the president. he was with ronald reagan for eight years, he was in 70 different governmentjobs that he did for our country and he did it strictly, i know for a fact that he did it strictly for the love of his country. he just was a very loving man. we are all going to miss him. just listening you talk about how he did hisjob for the him. just listening you talk about how he did his job for the love of his country, do you think you represent a bit of an end of an era

in some ways, or do you see his legacy continue on? i think his legacy will continue on. it was a different time, a different error back then —— your back then. —— era back then. i think he left a great legacy and his son was a great resident. i think it will carry on, i really do. we are sorry for your loss but we appreciate your time. george hw bush who has passed away. labour's kate osamor, the shadow international development secretary, has resigned from herfrontbench role. it comes after a report that she verbally abused a journalist from the times who was looking into controversy surrounding her son's conviction for drug possession. in a statement, she said she will now ‘concentrate on supporting my family through the difficult time we have been experiencing'.

police looking for a missing couple whose car was discovered washed up on a beach in south—west scotland, have found two bodies. susan and james kenneavy, were reported missing on thursday morning, when their vehicle was found on drummore beach, near stranraer. 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. 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. 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 singer and former disney star. the couple shared five photos of their special day, making note of chopra's mehndi, 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. raj and pablo from the bbc asian network popped into the studio a little earlier and spoke to me about the couple and their own friendship with priyanka. we have become friends. we've even stayed at her house. pablo is madly in love with her. he is brokenhearted. every time i met her i said, will you marry me? it's a running joke.

she is off the market now. it's absolutely wonderful, 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 and what 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 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 au fait with multicultural, just in terms of accepting other faiths and i think parents, especially her mother and her brother. her dad has passed away. they are quite like, if this is what is going to make you happy, good for you. hinduism is 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 prep. some of the comments. bringing families together. they seem to be nodding to those two 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. and her accepting the fact... it is almost like an education. if i want to marry someone almost like an education. if i want to marry someone who is non— this is why. —— non— asian. 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 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 sophia loren.

she was a world superstar and that is what priyanka is becoming. i 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 was actually watching programmes of ours 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. raj and pablo from the bbc‘s asian network, thank you. 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. here is another for sunday, moving into ireland and then 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
