5:02 pm
the protests for us so lisa we know the protest was sparked by fuel tax increases but what is making people so angry. well that 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 the 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 him i'm a car the president he 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 believe what these people need who actually are having difficulties making ends meet every month i've been speaking with a few of them. are going agree to pay tax but i want to my money is a good loser well use this time yeah it's ok i'm pacific and.

5:04 pm
because this obviously i think is of course the first thing to do the toughest. you have to you know you have to you. the concern here is first pick up a copy person in office and go to you have to look what the leading. general to see what's what but first you have to look. so nice of the people you've spoken to clearly frustrated and they're calling on mccaw want to listen to them but who could he talk to do they have a need or a representative well that would be a 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 they 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 pages as
5:05 pm
has has been going down over the past three weeks and they know 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 listen who is in paris thank you. he does of the world's twenty biggest economies the g. twenty have begun the second and final day of their summit in. german chancellor angela merkel started the day with a working breakfast with russian president vladimir putin the russian leader is facing international criticism of to russia seized ukrainian warships off the disputed crimea region last week but there is optimism now that leaders will be able to produce a final communique something that was in dollars ahead of the summit. and we're now

5:07 pm
most moving parts of that press conference if you can put it that way was her beginning when she talked about herbert walker bush as the president of the united states the former president of the united states making the connection a very personal connection to saying if it hadn't been for george bush back then she would be able to stand here now in front of this press conference because of course she was from a source she is from eastern germany and bush contributed to the fall of the wall and reunification of germany right now max there were fears ahead of the summit of the g twenty is so divided that agreeing on a final communique would be unlikely what does it look like at the moment. it's well michael said that you will find the words multi-lateralism in there for example and also that it was important to have a rules based international world order in these times that's already a success and that's we know that this is part of the draft communique but the
