chancellor angela merkel hosts bludgeon you put in a working breakfast but with all of the leaders be able to agree on a communique. the forty first president of the united states george herbert walker bush has died at the age of ninety four he led the u.s. troop the end of the cold war tributes have been coming in from around the world not least from the men who have occupied the oval office. to money welcome to the program police and protesters have filed a field central paris with smoke and tear gas in the third weekend of clashes in and around the shows and is it demonstrates as from the yellow vest movements that cars on fire and used benches to build roadblocks police responded with gas and water cannon more than sixty people have reported to have been injured and the

protests were prompted by fuel tax increases planned for next month but many are angry at other. reforms been carried out by president emmanuel mccall. let's go to paris now where lisa lewis is covering the protests for us only so we know the protest was sparked by fuel tax increases but what is making people so angry. weather lots of different things radio busy it was triggered by these few tax rises that announce for next year but they're also asking for example to bring down our taxes for other taxes for everybody to increase the minimum wage increase pensions basically what unites them there is this anger this this fury with in my in my car the president who said that he would reform france and make it a better place for everybody and they feel that he just doesn't understand actually what they need for these people need who actually are having difficulties making ends meet every month i've been speaking with

a few of them. i know you. are going to agree to pay tax but i want tomorrow morning there's good news when i use this time yeah it's ok i'm positive i'm you know we just are. in france we serve our board have enough we are aware of this stuff but you see stuff we don't come to be like in america we don't want to be like in england and swims to you know have a good story to be suspicious of this time we want to keep them. but if. that's what we are here today just gave up we thought hard to take from everything first the problem with julian. castro you know realms of where. the feeling was and the truth of the outside and don't do you know the reality

a lot of people face a problem at home in france our political system is displaced all this time it's. i don't know if my fault if it simplistic today so i think the first thing the fourteen people to do something else and i think of course the first thing to do so the toughest. thing about you know you have to you have to consider is. didn't have to talk to prison you got to sit in got to you just look what you don't even know then we'll see what the people do you but first you have to run. so these are the people you've spoken to clearly frustrated and they're calling on mccall to listen to them but who could he talk to do they have a leader or a representative. well that would be your problem this movement is leaderless as they have been saying from the very beginning actually there were a few tents this week to talk to certain spokespeople say to say by the government

but these attempts didn't really work out either the people didn't show up or they even received death threats from other members of the movement so it will be very difficult to negotiate and also what you're seeing today these violent clashes is actually an indication that they're getting more desperate the numbers of protesters has has been going down over the past three weeks and they these people here today think that they have to show you know to clash with the police so that people are still looking that they're still making noise and getting attention from other people but it's very difficult to see how this will all end where this will lead how the government will find people to talk to and actually find a solution to this conflict mr lewis in paris thank you. now he does of the world's twenty biggest economies the g. twenty have begun the second and final day of their summit in buenos aires german chancellor angela merkel started the day with a working breakfast with question president vladimir putin the russian leader is

facing international criticism after russia seized ukrainian warships off the disputed crimea region last week but there's optimism now that leaders will be able to produce a final communique something that was in doubt ahead of the summit. a spring indeed correspondent max hoffman who is inborn as ira's for us so max angela merkel and vladimir putin discussing the recent escalation of the ukraine conflict of the breakfast meeting and i know that marco just gave a press conference what did she say and what was that meeting about. yeah the press conference we're still waiting for that but we have the official release about the meeting with a little bit of information in that and so they did discuss syria that was one of the topics extensively and they of course talked about the situation in ukraine most important piece of news to come out of that so far is that even they actually agreed to discuss this issue ation between russia and ukraine on the lower level in

the so-called normandy format that's a format that has been established now for some years at balls four countries ukraine russia freds and germany this is supposed to happen within the next weeks now though fans ahead of the summit but the g twenty is so divided that agreement a final communique would be unlikely now it's being felt that these the first draft . it looks a little better but you never know with donald trump the u.s. president being here even if the surprise the so-called sherpas so the negotiators agree on something on the draft as they have now you don't know what the u.s. president will do with it just want to remind everybody of what he did he signed in at the g twenty summit in canada he signed it and then where you you left the summit and he basically put everything that was written in there in doubt so you can never be sure but yes the communicate is agreed on by the negotiators it involves bare bones g.

twenty languages not comparable to the last years barely to keep the whole thing alive a good knowledge is for example that multilateral trade system is good for prosperity has been good for prosperity in the past but it doesn't mention protectionism it really doesn't make any progress on climate change it doesn't make any progress on migration so this is really if it ends up being the what we've heard so far it's barely enough to keep the whole g. twenty process alive max hoffman in buenos ayres thank you. former u.s. presidents george have backed walker bush the forty first president of the united states has died at the age of ninety four his one time in office saw the collapse of the soviet union and the fall of the berlin wall bush sr will be remembered here in germany as one of the architects of unification as reaction continues to come in from around the world let's take a look back at his life and legacy. this was one of george bush's

last public appearances and surely one of his toughest it was his wife barbara funeral in early twenty eight. he did farewell to have after seventy three years of marriage. the couple married shortly after the end of world war two george was a war hero. he was the youngest pilot in the u.s. navy. bush flew dozens of missions in the war he was shot down at sea then rescued at the last minute and became an instant legend. he returned to texas where he founded an oil company then he turned to a career in politics joining the republican party he became the u.s. ambassador to the united nations then the u.s. top diplomat in china then head of the cia. in the one nine hundred eighty s.

he became vice president to ronald reagan. after two terms as vice president he then decided to run for the white house himself. and he was. preserved wrote in defend the constitution of the united states i. and nine hundred eighty nine the berlin wall fell and with it behind curtain. pushed. cautiously uncomely weathered the transition he worked hard to develop a good relationship with the leader of the soviet union gabacho of and campaigned heavily for the reunification of germany. bush is also the president who led the usa into its first major military operation in the middle east as i report to you air attacks are underway against military targets in iraq bush launched operation

desert storm against iraq's dictator saddam hussein after he had attacked kuwait. after the first gulf war president bush the prove our ratings went through the roof but that didn't last long many americans became unhappy with his domestic policies because of tough economic times he was forced to raise taxes it was a broken promise and the perfect ammunition for bill clinton bush next democratic opponent clinton won the one thousand nine hundred two presidential election and after his one term in the white house bush called it quits he focused his efforts on humanitarian activities and this family which in two thousand and one once again broke history as bush son became president. i'm joined now by owing a professor of economics at college here in berlin thank you for joining us as a professor we have had

a lot of people paying tribute to president bush what exactly are they saying about him well what remains after so many years is a sense of the absolute decency of the man here we had someone who from a very early age was raised to be modest and the idea of getting into heaven by selling your brand that was not part of how he got to how he did things he had a big rolodex he wrote notes to people. everyone who's worked with him has also said just an incredibly competent executive and you know he was not a politician who was good on the stump he was not quick with the glib remarks he didn't have the ronald reagan great communication skills but you know over time one appreciates much more the quality of the man and how the man fit the

office and perhaps this is what. the german president is alluding to today have praised bush saying that without the friendship of the u.s. and its president german reunification would not have been possible how important was he for bringing the cold water and. well you know in history a develops without people being completely responsible but how you act when you get your cards dealt to you is really important whether or not you win the game and i will never forget. george herbert walker bush coming off a helicopter in a reporter shouting out that berlin wall has fallen and none of the complicated let's think about the implication said that is great this is what we've wanted and the fact that he was firmly in germany's corner. in

a rather complex set of negotiations you have an empire that's crumbling troops armed facing off one another you know having an organized retreat of an adversary is something that is a not not a trivial task and in convincing reluctant allies to support german unification this was also very much part of george herbert walker bush and his team of advisers including secretary of state his very good friend jim baker and very briefly if you can what else would you say were. greatest achievements. you know as controversial as the second iraq war was going into kuwait decisively and limiting the extent to which military means are applied but using them successfully in a multilateral coalition he showed how when force on an

international level needs to be applied how one does it not by going alone not by making one's country. the leader but the a team coach sort of the coach player in a greater coalition that was something that he did very well professor thank you so much for your time leisure. you're watching news. coming at the top of the alice thank you for being. here what's coming up for the book club is where you have plenty to talk about here or d.w. now is coming take a look at what all that means for the paper of course. the bundesliga every weekend here on t.w. .
