8:06 pm
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's and decided to run for the white house himself. and he was.
8:07 pm
preserve protect and defend the constitution of the united states. and nine hundred eighty nine the berlin wall fell and with it the iron curtain. bush cautiously uncomely weathered the transition he worked hard to develop a good relationship with the leader of the soviet union mikhail gorbachev 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 reported 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 origins went through the roof but that didn't last long many americans became unhappy with his
8:08 pm
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. police and protesters have filled central paris with smoke and tear gas and a third weekend of clashes in and around the shows a lazy demonstrators from the yellow vests movement set cause and the bank on fire police responded with gas and water cannon more than eighty people are reported to have been injured while more than two hundred have been arrested the protests were
8:09 pm
prompted by fuel tax increases but many are also angry at other reforms being carried out by president and money. all right let's go to paris where our correspondent lisa lewis has been following events during the day hi lisa it seems like things have escalated particularly badly today a department store was evacuated near the demonstrations reports that protesters stole a police weapon tell us a bit more about what's been going on. yes that's right and i'm actually oh all. these demonstrators actually there are asking for mark called to step down that's one of the main demands for them actually in these protests and actually sorry i'm just going to ask you to leave sorry thank you and sorry i'm sorry thank you both so yes these demonstrations have been really violent today even for french standouts really you know you mentioned the department stores
8:10 pm
actually lafayette and ponto that were evacuated a bit earlier on that was actually precautionary measures one police source told me and yet also very violent clashes elsewhere getting on between the police and groups of protesters you know what happened was basically that police couldn't of these souls that is if i am here now you can see the behind me now protesters violent protesters gooden couldn't access the shells uneasy but that meant they actually spread out all across paris and that led to very violent altercation between the police and processes in various occasions. they said tell us why people also very is this still only about fuel prices a company. a few prices were the trigger but that's not really the underlying reason there is some kind of fury about the government they're really angry with him on the mark on the french government they feel that
8:11 pm
they are actually being left behind people from the countryside especially that say we have to pay too much taxes to actually paying a larger share of the transition towards more sustainable economy than other people who are richer than us and we want that to change so there's this underlying anger really and that's why there is so much anger in the street and that's why there are these all to cations also because the number of people going out and demonstrating has actually gone down quite a lot over the past three weeks and some people feel that because the number has gone down they have to become more violent so that people listen to their demands. now lisa france his health minister said the demonstration had been taken over by extremist groups how much truth is there in that. while you can't really say that it's actually what we know is that there are some very violent very extreme elements in these demonstrate within amongst these demonstrators and i've been talking to quite a lot of demonstrators today peaceful ones who told me you know we're not with them
8:12 pm
they're not us they don't represent us they're just here to destroy things so it might be that these people come from at the far left of the far right it's very difficult to to prove that obviously and to double check that or it's lisa louis thanks so much for your reporting on what's obviously quite a volume volatile situation. some football news now and surgeon aptly was the hero as buy in munich returned to winning ways in the bundesliga number he scored both goals in by arms two one win with amun elsewhere leaders berisha dortmund extended the lead at the top with a two no when over a five year old has had closed in on the european places by basing while she climbed off the bus i'm thanks to victory over out spoke mines on friday hoffenheim and charlotte currently in action and they're all three more games to come on sunday and monday. now argentine club river plate have rejected plans to
