this is d.w. news live from berlin in france nearly a quarter of a million people take to the streets to protest rising fuel prices one demonstrator is killed in an accident and dozens are injured and crowds turn out to block roads across the country many of the protesters are calling on president obama's problem to resign also coming up u.s. president trump lands in california amid the worst wildfires in the state's history over a thousand people are now reported missing rescue crews on the ground face

a desperate task of searching for the dead. and the cia concludes that the order to kill jamal khashoggi came from the top of the saudi government reports a us intelligence blamed saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon for the journalists jeff. thanks for joining us i'm marian i haven't seen. french president among all mccrone is facing a backlash against his economic policies police clashed with protesters right outside the presidential palace more than two hundred thousand people took to the streets nationwide wearing the yellow vests that have come to symbolize public discontent over government tax hikes on fuel approval ratings for president mccraw have been dropping for months reflecting mounting dissatisfaction with his

government's economic program. well let's get more from correspondent and elizabeth would take who joins us now from paris so analysts but it seems pretty clear that these demonstrations that these demonstrators rather aren't just angry about fuel with many of them calling for president to resign but do these protests pose a real threat stream across leadership. well they're not good for him and he has not been doing so well in the past month his numbers are in the tank he pulls twenty six percent favorable opinions and possibly will be worse tomorrow you had almost three hundred thousand people demonstrating all over france a new completely decentralized movement and fuel prices were really the last trigger people feel that they're all to francis that france of winners that president macor likes people who live in that sitters and her jobs in

a lot of companies are high tech companies or a good sort of. already moved by those things and then you've got people in the provinces and small towns and employment is more pregnant it's difficult to leave those places because you can't afford to move somewhere else there's a decline in public services which means that it's more difficult and one of the reasons why so many people were complaining about fuel prices is that in many parts of france now if you do not have a car you can't go to work but lots of small train lines have been canceled that is part of the general menez of the part of the population that feels that it's being ignored. all right what can micron off her any type of compromise to satisfy the protesters. she has already offered. a system whereby people under a certain income would get subsidies to do feel the tax basically and he's also

offered a system whereby if you sell your diesel car and you buy another car you get four thousand euros which is not bad. it's. it's technocratic it may not you know it could be useful but i think that's not what people want to hear people would like lots of things to change. the if they feel that this government is not going about it in a way that takes their own concerns into account letter that give us a sense of how much support there really is for these protests among the french public and are in fact opposition parties involved. opposition party has looked at the movement in a strange way because the french don't like anything that's not centralized but money and opens a national muscle rumold. was the first to move and they have been words of support on the right and strangely enough and small parts of the left saying they be going

about it in a visual instrument wrong way but the the problems exist and what this is really doing is it's reconstituting the kind of strange sort of effective could list should between the extreme left and the extreme right and people who feel strongly on the left and on the right. against i would say the sort of encourage mass of the center solutions that i think the effects are going to be visible during your elections next year because these are proportional elections there's always this sort of feeling rightly or wrongly that europe is also guilty because it's a sort of free trade system and therefore now polls say that it looked and will poll more votes in the euro elections and mccall's got it right and elizabeth metate reporting from prayer authentic thanks thank you. now he west president donald trump has arrived in california to visit areas scorched by the state's death late wildfires before leaving washington praise the work of

firefighters but once again blame the disaster on what he said was california's poor forest management the remains of more than seventy people have so far been identified but the list of those still missing has soared beyond one thousand of california also struggles with toxic air pollution with the fire comes a new danger smoke. and it has reached san francisco where air pollution levels now rank among the highest in the world health warnings prompted widespread school closings even the city's main tourist attractions was shut. the smokes are jenna's some three hundred kilometers to the north the town of paradise has been reduced to ashes it's the epicenter of california's deadliest ever wildfire and the death toll is likely to rise. search and

rescue workers are trying to find any sort of remains that could help identify those missing. where you've fuel terrible for these people and devastating for them and i couldn't imagine coming back here this is my home. your whole proof that we if there are missing people we can find them and bring some closure to people that need that. those affected are in desperate need of assistance some hope denounced visit by u.s. president donald trump will increase attention to their plight. we're going to present to bring the conversation we're going to take a look at the. park are more important are still going no time to relax if you want to understand what we're going through out here you got to be here and it's not something you can just see on t.v. you know others us get to kill off the president's intentions. i think is just showboating will come in and try to take credit for using salted to firefighters.

police the military handicap women. the campfire is only one of several blazes still ravaging the state scientists believe the growing frequency and intensity of such wildfires is due to a prolonged drought which is symptomatic of climate change. journalist my dear walt is that beale air force base near sacramento california which is where president trump touched down a short time ago mike for joining us what do you think people are hoping to hear from president trump on this visit. i think resident in this area really want to hear. at the from president trump and just that their story is being heard people in this area have gone through so much over the past number of weeks and. as you heard from some of the people care it doesn't do justice to see the clips on t.v.

or to see photos to actually be on the ground and experience just what this devastation looks like i think more than anything else that politics aside people want to know that that their experience is being seen across the nation and that that help is on the way. well you are in the region that's worst hit by the fire ants how are people coping with such devastation. it's really difficult and it's especially now that most of the immediate fire danger is over it really begins the long process of what what's next for residents here some people returning to homes some people are returning to see their home burned down. the entire town burnt down so it becomes what happens next. going to theme of finding the resources just trying to get back to normal as fast

as possible and the others that's going to be harder to start that process at the moment we know that it about seventy people died in the fires and yet the number of those unaccounted for has jumped to more than a thousand why is that. it really is a staggering number but the buchanan sheriff's office cautioned to not get married too much to that number that is very much above the target based on the data there could be duplicate from there there could be names on there from overnight when one calls ever could be people who've already been reunited that said it's still a very concerning number given the population that we're dealing with in paradise over a quarter the copulations over sixty five a lot of those seven days these seem so far in their seventy's eighty's ninety's these are people who could live alone have really mobility be disabled and i think that's the concern going forward. that we're going to see that seventy one rise

higher going forward mike wallace at deal air force base near sacramento california thanks so much for your reporting. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world rallies have been held across the netherlands to protest against a controversial christmas character called black pete dodge tradition dictates that santa claus arrives in mid november accompanied by helpers white people who paint their faces black and wear wigs opponents say it's peyton's lee racist well supporters claim is a key part of dutch tradition. thousands have turned out in hong kong for the city's annual pride parade marchers demonstrated for equal rights and an end to discrimination against the l g b t community hong kong judges recently ruled that same sex partners are entitled to visas even though the territory does not

the cia has concluded saudi arabia's de facto ruler is directly tied to the killing of jamal and is briefing the u.s. government about his involvement calling him volatile and arrogant. a critic of the saudi government and columnist for the washington post was killed at the saudi consulate in istanbul will not tell you the second when he went back to pick up documents he needed for his marriage to a turkish woman. the crown prince has so far evaded direct accusations and vowed to bring the killers to justice. jim yesterday first of all the crime was really painful tool saudis believe it is painful to every human in the world it is a he most crime that cannot be justified it could do it all on me. but these latest developments put his position in doubt the washington post says that the cia reached its conclusions after examining sources of intelligence including a phone call that the prince's brother had lead been solomon made to consult she on

mohammed bin salmond's command in the phone calls her lead to the saudi ambassador to the u.s. is said to have encouraged to go to the consulate with assurances he would be safe to do so leaders vehemently denied any such claims on twitter he said i never talked to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason because she's visit to the consulate and in his death but the washington post says it isn't clear whether he knew he would be killed the developments unlikely to complicate president trump's efforts to preserve ties with his key ally trump has so far resisted pinning the blame for the killing on mohammed bin solomon but he might not be able to hold to that if the cia's position is that the crown prince himself ordered a murder well it's only the middle of november but already in many parts of the world are turning to christmas here in berlin the things in life have been turned
