5:05 pm
i knew but on the other side police firing tear gas and water cannons it last for hours now since this morning and of course we feel very briefly review that it's also just more part of the movement even in paris there are all the demonstrations we've peaceful people and no intruder and. no friends be obviously is no stranger to protests but this kind of more violent demonstrations of people burning barricades and police five firing tear gas is this usual. well it has happened before ever here it's maybe more shocking because it's on charlie's a which is one of the most famous streets of paris in the world and usually demonstrations in france are more organized it's political parties or unions with their own services of security their own organizations and groups walking from point a to point b. to relations of police today it's more out of control but we have to keep in mind that it's just a few hundreds of people who are fighting until the levy carries and france is not
5:06 pm
burning today and i know you did say that there is a group of people who are demonstrating peacefully but who exactly are these demonstrators. well behind the big demonstration exergy zones you know vested french people from different political backgrounds social backgrounds who have a common complaint they are angry against taxes against price of gas and against their lack of public services in france they have no political party no union behind them and they organize themselves through facebook and social networks so today according to government it's not the majority of you know vest who are making trouble it's small a few hundreds from extremist movements from far right and far left who just came to destroy things and fight with police so don't forget once again that there are many peaceful movements in the rest of france and despite what the government is saying what does this unrest mean for president locals reform agenda and his popularity. well we have to keep in mind that these really rule movement is popular among the french population according to polls it's like seventy percent of french
5:07 pm
who are supporting it and only operate it credible priorities quite low right now during the demonstrations there are local calls for you to resign or to change you please believe you can and so far it doesn't land and change is a measure of the wrong to transform the preferred specially for the group to call transition it means that so far the rise of abstract around the world and patrol won't be stopped but he also promised to give some precision on tuesday and say that the earth doing girlfriend. right here donna do joining us from france thank you thank you time now for some of the other stories making news around the world at least thirty people have been killed in india when their bus fell into a canal in kind attack a state police say the bus headed off the bridge and plunged into the water many of the victims were schoolchildren and the accident happened around three hundred thirty kilometers southwest of back in the. pakistani authorities have arrested

a radical islamist cleric who's followers staged major protests demanding strict blasphemy laws hussein roots of his supporters rights issues in pakistan to a standstill earlier this month with street protests over the acquittal of. the christian woman had been on death row for blasphemy a new study in brazil says the destruction of the amazon rain forest has reached its highest level in a decade the government data calls illegal logging a major cause of deforestation which in turn leads to global warming the rain forest plays a key role in regulating the earth's temperature. climate change the u.s. economy to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars and less drastic action is taken that's the finding of a major american government report now that report ordered by congress ones the deadly wildfires hurricanes and heat wave seen in recent years will increase and
5:09 pm
get worse it also says public health and access to water will be threatened the white house has dismissed the report as inaccurate. well our reporter rebecca recess has been following this story for us and she now joins me in the studio. thanks for joining us what's the biggest thing to come out of this report well there are no specific policy recommendations in the report but what's really striking about it is it's clear statement that things are definitely going to get worse the authors say they more certain than ever that the effects of climate change and a worsening we've seen what we've seen recently that there are rising global temperatures particularly in the us the high heat waves recently most recently we've had the california fires there saying things like this will will obviously become a lot more common and it's going to happen sooner rather than later they really focus on the human impact in this report and they say that the people most vulnerable are obviously the poor of sections of society but another thing that
5:10 pm
they really focus on is the economic findings and this staggering they say that they estimate that by the end of next entry the u.s. will lose ten percent of its g.d.p. and what's most alarming about that i suppose is it's in direct contrast to president on all trumps policy so he has an agenda of environmental deregulation which he says is to spare on the economy this report is the exact opposite right so as you're saying these things to me in my eyebrows are just going up because i'm in total shock and of course this is a government report prepared by more than a dozen federal agencies but the trump administration is not buying it is it well that's right i mean the white house has called the report inaccurate which is kind of strange considering as you say it's a government report was released by the white house and they go ahead and say it's inaccurate trump hasn't come out and commented on it specifically trump's viewpoint on climate change he's called it a hoax he said it was a chinese hoax. but two days before this report came out so i think actually he
5:11 pm
tweeted i think we have it here he said that there was a bit of a cold snap in washington he came out saying whatever happened. global warming so that garnered a lot of criticism people ridicule on twitter saying that he doesn't have the difference between weather and climate that sort of stuff so nothing has he's hasn't come out and said anything specific to this report ok so trump has i said anything but what about other people how they reacted to this well it's obviously been picked up widely throughout the u.s. and is focused on u.s. environment politics. news organizations have picked up on it but the critics are mainly saying that the release date of the release of the report is a bit iffy you've got critics like al gore the former politician now turned climate advocate coming out and saying that the government administration were trying to bury the report because it was supposed to be believed released in december but the administration decided to bring that forward to go over the thanksgiving holiday
