a decade. has now crossed to our correspondent lisa lewis has been following events for us in paris and across france as elise of the cabinet meeting has just ended how we heard anything on what's come out of it while we haven't had any announcement by the government just yet they were meeting for an hour and a half there was a long meeting and they better really think about what they're going to do next because pressure is growing the government has so far said we're going but you don't change anything to our plans but more and more people here are saying you know actually really really need to react to this otherwise it's going to explode even more people are talking about interaction of it and insurrection of the situation and more and more commentators also saying you know you really have to come back go back on that and measure that is announce for you next year that is the fuel tax rise that was the trigger for this movement if my car doesn't change that at least temporarily if he doesn't say you know good we're going to push it
3:03 pm
back by at least a few months so that we can negotiate it's very difficult how this will actually come down situation so lisa what exactly is making this so difficult for the government to tackle. it's very complicated you've got about one hundred thirty thousand people that demonstrated across france yesterday but the polls from a few days ago show that a lot of people a lot of the french eighty percent seventy percent actually supporting the movement and understand what these people are talking about this is the part of france that feels left behind by put issuance in paris obviously in my car has the image of a very arrogant president president who doesn't understand the needs of the people and his reaction to this crisis has just shown has underlined that very perception of things so this makes it more complicated obviously when you look at the demonstrations themselves and you can also see as you you know you saw the pictures from yesterday so there are violent clashes and lots of people are now saying that
3:04 pm
the demonstrations where she infiltrated by groups from the far right from the far left that are trying to cause mayhem so the government really has to do something to calm the situation down so with so much uncertainty and pressure where can we expect things to go from here while the normal thing to do would be to negotiate but because this movement is leaderless at the moment it's very difficult to see who the government could talk to now the different parts of the movement have now you know the different organizations in the regions apparently trying to elect local leaders so these local leaders can go to paris and talk to my car but that is not really a very fledged out yet fleshed out yet so we really are waiting to see where this will go overseas very important for my car to talk to them and to find some measure to actually you know make the anger go away he said louis in paris thank you.

after two days of marathon talks between the world's most powerful leaders the latest g twenty summit wrapped up in argentina's capital on saturday night there were big fault lines of migration and climate change and fears that u.s. president donald trump mike refused to sign a final communique but in the end all the leaders agreed to it on the summit sidelines tromp and his chinese counterpart agreed to a temporary truce in the world's biggest trade dispute. it was a meeting of me saying with multilateralism taking a back seat as one on one talks dominated the summit. in particular all eyes were on u.s. president donald trump's meeting with his chinese counterpart sieging pain their first talk since a trade war erupted between their countries earlier this year feel. looking into the first question the relationship that i have with president xi and i think it's more you have very primary reason why the real problem when you're

standing up getting something kept moving for china and the united states a success goes in a date the latest later announced an agreement to suspend new tariffs for ninety days a step towards defusing the trade will. be a different kind of war also proved a key issue the conflict between russia and ukraine it was top of the agenda for german chancellor angela merkel's one on one with russian president vladimir putin . she called on him to release the ukrainian sailors detained by russia last weekend and said she wanted to avoid any further escalation. undirected us off switch them for can we proposed and it is being considered to have a meeting in the normandy fall not for which the normandy cancels being france germany ukraine and russia spewed about the processes happening there. putin however said he believes only
3:07 pm
a change in the ukrainian government would bring an end to the crisis missus. but you got one thing all twenty leaders did a great on the need to reform the world trade organization given current trade tensions globally a success for this summit. for the w.'s have yeah get us joins us from war and us ira's have it's good to see you so first that deal between chinese president xi and u.s. president trump isn't really a deal. well you know it it's interesting because before this summit even started and most experts and financial advisors for example had predicted that we would see mark deal that's how they call it at the end of this summit and that seems to be the case a deal where both presidents sit down and say they agreed on something special but without really changing the substance of the trade dispute it is true that donald trump has decided not to impose further tariffs at least for now or to increase them and in exchange the chinese president has agreed on buying more agricultural
3:08 pm
products from the u.s. for example and also classifying fenton il as a controlled substance which means that there will be more regulation for fed to know which is critical in the midst of the opioid crisis in the united states but the truth is that the substance meaning the tariffs between both countries are still in place and don't seem to be going anywhere and even if they sit down and negotiate we know that negotiations have so far rather failed or at least been very difficult and i can't see why that would change now that we have this apparent deal and looking at these one on one meetings like meeting she and russian president putin chancellor merkel these bilateral talks overshadowing the summit itself. yes that is definitely the case but when you have pressing issues like the crisis between russia and the ukraine and you have chancellor angela merkel right there being able to somehow at least intercede in negotiate with the parties that is an
3:09 pm
opportunity that you cannot miss you can say that sometimes urgent issues leave no space for important issues but that is in the detriment of the goals of the summit itself that is true that subjects like for example the gender pay gap or for example the fight on climate change or migration those issues cannot be addressed to the extent that the organizers would have hoped for but it's an opportunity that you have to take advantage of if all leaders are here have the talking about the goals of the summit what is your take on this summit overall. well maybe first we have to talk about the organization and this is being hailed as a big success on the sunday right here going to cyrus a big hit for the government of maurice america it was flawlessly organized with an impeccable security with peaceful protests so that was a dream for the government really but of course we have to take a look at the bigger picture about communicate the end result of this summit is
3:10 pm
being called a success that's true but the standard on which we were at which we measure that success has definitely changed before it was about what the communicate said what commitments to countries made now in these days there so fact that there is a communique and that the countries could agree on anything is the measure for success havea get us there is thank you. time now for some of the other stories making news around the world israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has denied engaging in bribery of to police recommended corruption charges against him and his wife sarra the case revolves around alleged thank you matri favors granted to an israeli telecom company in exchange for positive coverage of the company's news website this is now who faces recommended indictments in two other corruption investigations. the us naval chief in the middle east has been found dead vice admiral scott's journey was found at his residence in. the gulf kingdom is a base for the u.s. fifth fleet and the u.s.
