this is d.w. news live from berlin in france over 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 it's crowds turn out to block roads across the country many of the demonstrators are calling on president mccrone to resign also coming up u.s. president donald trump arrives in california to see the impact of the world's two wildfires in the state's history more than a thousand people are now reported missing rescue crews phase

a desperate task of searching for the dead. and anger and grief in argentina as the government confirms that a submarine which went missing a year ago imploded at sea killing everyone on board. thanks for joining us i'm married i haven't seen. french president among all my crown is facing a backlash against his economic policies nearly three 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 police clashed with protesters right outside the presidential palace approval ratings for president mccrone have slumped reflecting mounting dissatisfaction with his government's economic program

. a sit down strike in traffic it doesn't take much to shut things down one side is content the other isn't more than two hundred eighty thousand people took part in the grassroots movement called yellow vests across the country they also blocked toll booths or drove at a snail's pace on highways they're protesting about the increased taxes placed on fuel and basically about the reduction in their buying power while called it's getting more and more expensive to fill up will soon be a two year as a leader that's horrible. mr mccall treats us like cattle he's always pushing more texas and soon we won't have anything and this is the woman who started things off with a video which really touched a lot of people six million of them. i represent those who meet their car every day and practically live in it as well as those farmers if you send a seventy seven. this grassroots movement began on social media which gave people a forum to express their displeasure with things despite that president mccall

wants to continue on his economic course on a french aircraft carrier he showed understanding for citizens and also conceded making mistakes and i didn't succeed in convincing the french about my policy. today's protests certainly prove that yellow is the color of the day and might even be the one for to morrow the yellow vests say they will carry on. let's get more from correspondent and elizabeth who joins us now from paris so analysts made it seems pretty clear that these demonstration that these demonstrators rather aren't just angry about fuel with many of them calling for president mccrum to resign but do these protests pose a real threat to across leadership. well there are 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 in a 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 large cities and have jobs in a lot of companies or high tech companies or a good sort of. boarding ruben's 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 field attacks basically and he's also offered a system whereby if you sell you a diesel call and you buy another girl or you get fulfilled in europe which is not . it's technocratic mino you could be useful but i think that's not what people want to hear people would like lots of things to change. the they feel that this government is not going about it in a way that takes their own concerns into account and elizabeth montagne reporting from prayer a smelly thanks to california now and the death toll from the deadliest fires ever to hit the u.s. state has risen to seventy one with more than one thousand people reported missing

president donald trump has arrived in northern california to survey the damage he's met the mayor of the worst hit town paradise and toured the devastation the vast majority of the victims of the california fires came from that town. well before leaving washington trump praised the work of firefighters but once again blamed the disaster on what he said was california's poor forest management critics say he is playing politics as the fires continue to burn with devastating consequences for californians 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 to us attractions was shut.

the smokes are agenda 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 a mainstay that could help identify those missing. where you've you feel terrible for these people it's been devastating for them like couldn't imagine coming back if 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 denounce a visit by u.s. president donald trump will increase attention to their plight. we're going to president bring the conversation we're going to take a look at the. partridge and more airplanes are still going no time to relax if you

want to understand what we're going through out here you got to be here 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 he's insulted 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. earlier i spoke to journalist mike to walter has been covering president travis trip to california i asked him once the people who've been affected by the wildfires wanted to hear from trump. i think residents in this area really want to hear a 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 weeks and. as you heard from some of the people there it doesn't do justice to see the clips on t.v. or 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 their experience is being seen across the nation and that that help is on the way. while you are in the region that's worst hit by the fires how are people coping with such devastation it's really difficult and is 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's that. it really is a staggering number but the buchanan sheriff's office cautions to not get married too much to that number that is very much a proven target based on data there could be duplicate from there there could be names on there from old nine one one calls and there could be people who've already been reunited that said it's still a very concerning number given population that we're dealing with in paradise over a quarter of the population is over sixty five

a lot of those seven they seem so far their seventy's eighty's and ninety's these are people who could live alone have limited 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 the 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 the u.s. state department says the government has yet to reach a final conclusion on who ordered the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi this after a us media reported that the cia believes saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon personally gave the order the state department says it's still seeking all the relevant facts. greek police and protesters clashed of central athens with protesters hurling petrol bombs and police firing tear gas the clashes followed of

and angry the relatives of the missing submariners have spent months piecing pressure on the argentinean governments. to give them more information and tell them what happened to their loved ones. we were sitting at the dining table with my mom when the message from the submarine command force arrived saying that's a no object that was detected yesterday was that our son won we couldn't believe it we turned on the television and media said it was our son one. of. the submarine was returning from a routine mission off argentina's southernmost back in november last year it was ordered back to base after reporting an electrical break dying but the crew was never heard from again authorities gave up hope of finding survivors just two weeks leaser but their relatives didn't. i'm disappointed disappointed

because we still thought they had all the information we get the illusion they would find the life unfortunately we're so that's it. on thursday argentina marked one year since the sun one went missing it was then that the country's president reaffirmed his commitment to finding the truth. the next day with the submarine find the families are a step closer to the answers they have sought for so long. well it's only the middle of november but already in many parts of the world thoughts are turning to christmas here in berlin the seasonal lines have been turned on in the botanical gardens will leave you with a little walk through the winter wonderland thanks for watching.
