yellow vests protesters made common cause but they were joined by the so-called black bloc violent protesters who often show up at demonstrations across the continent. of course with the violence the government is unfit to own us and everything that follows what little violence we can inflict is absolutely nothing and it's just a warning sign if we have to get to that level it's because it's a real problem and we don't have any other solution just so that service we're going to say good we've been trying to make ourselves heard for six months and nobody has it's pretty simple we just want to live normally so many she. may first usually sees mass demonstrations by french unions this year the traditional holiday honoring labor movements comes after months of so-called yellow vest protests large scale demos that have seen crowds trashed public spaces and upscale stores the government has often seemed unable to stop them. john i mean.

there's a real discontent in this country and it'll be expressed today and in the coming days and it's been expressed for five months those who said the protests don't make any difference that there wasn't any younger left in the country have been forced to realize that there is unhappiness in the country. and i think that it's a pity that. it's a country. it's a pity but that's the french caracter it seems. the authorities have adopted what they call a zero tolerance approach after a particularly violent demo earlier this year that's being put to the test yet again today. straight to paterson we're joined t.w. correspondent elisa lewis welcome lisa how have things been today. well it's been a strange day reading i mean violent clashes. happened right before the

beginning of the demonstration actually when the demonstrators were still waiting at montana's to take off and they were you know it's a kind of catching mouse game going on inside streets with some people injured with tear gas that was being launched by the police forces then the demonstrators a walk towards the plus to tell you just behind me and and then in the end when they got here the police cordoned off the area it's been a weird today because normally you know the first of may in france is a demonstration full of joyous parties music you've got families they've got people happy having people who are dancing and i haven't really seen that today on the say and these may day demonstrations just as a traditional outing there in france but they have turned violent for the last two years how did police prepare this year. well that's right the police deployed more than seven thousand police officers in the streets today they were using drones

they were using one hundred nineteen mobile teams on motorbikes actually that were trying to when something happened be there really quickly and intervene the police have already also changed strategy because beforehand they would stay away from the dome and stemmons traitors but these five months of demonstrations sometimes very violent and yellow vests demonstrations of the past fast has past five months and that actually has the effect that the police has now changed its strategy because this day today was announced as a day of power here in france and so the violence that we've seen did that come from those yellow vests the protestors or from these these outside agitators if one part of that way. it's kind of difficult to tell because some of the yellow vest protesters have become very violent but they were also reported to be joined by so-called black blocs you know you see these mosques and hooded people in the

streets they were just here to actually fight with police so i think it's a mixture of these two groups really the solution paris thank you. to venezuela now the country prepares for more unrest as itself declared president urges supporters to take to the streets in an effort to remove president nicolas maduro the latest call from one quite oh follows violent clashes during demonstrations on tuesday when forces loyal to president nicolas maduro responded to what he called an attempted coup dozens of people were injured and there are fears that a similar scenes will play out today. they responded to a call to action from opposition leader one quite. out on the streets for work why don't the final push to oust president nicolas maduro. after a day of violent clashes it appeared mature i still wasn't going anywhere economic

russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential elections it's emerged that special counsel robert muller complained to mr barr about the way he characterized the report's findings saying it didn't fully capture their context nature or substance i think lee. police in turkey have to tell you demonstrators taking part in may day protests in istanbul after they tried to march towards the city's main square or thought is had declared tax and square off limits citing security concerns the site holds symbolic value for the country's labor movement. two members of a russian protest collective pussy riot are reported to have been granted asylum in sweden swedish public television as v.t. says a court overturned an earlier ruling rejecting their application to seeing john young and alexei canadian ski cited death threats as grounds for asylum. this is the w.'s lie from still to come there is no denying his artistic genius but

was leonardo da vinci he also a talented inventor meta german author who's disputing some aspects of his legacy. i had about a court in london his sentence wiki leaks founder julian assange is to fifty weeks in jail for breaching the terms of his pale that's almost the maximum sentence for the offense mr saunders wrote barely twenty twelve when he entered ecuador's embassy in the city to try to avoid extradition to sweden over allegations of sexual assault and wright was arrested last month after ecuador withdrew his asylum status. go to london and join t.w. correspondent pot so welcome shelter what reaction has there been from mr songs and his legal team. so the debt stated in the sentencing sentencing statement that deliberately put himself out of reach of u.k. authorities when he entered the ecuadorian embassy in two thousand and twelve she

said that cost the taxpayers sixteen million. u.k. pounds because the police had to got the embassy around the clock in the first years and she said he did not willingly surrender but instead had to be dragged out by u.k. police out of that embassy and that concluded to to sentence him to fifty weeks in prison that could be cut in half in october he might be released on bail but that was her conclusion and his defense stated that a socialist very sorry that he was apologetic three most full four four four finding that possible going into the ecuadorian embassy for seeking refuge there but that he was so fearful of u.s. extradition at that point that he would be extradited first to sweden and then to the u.s. that he received death threats also from american politicians that stated if you was going to the u.s.

he might face a death sentence there that he could not see another way back then and that is why he seek refuge assault took those news twelve months in prison quiet he did not show much reaction he looked more cleaned up he had his beard cut his hair cut he was raising his fist to in defiance to his supporters at the end of the court hearing and they were shouting at the judge saying shame on you when she was leaving the room and now his lawyer are accepting this sentence here in the u.k. but they are looking towards the extradition hearing which is happening tomorrow yes let's talk about what can we expect i mean it's happening in court by video link expect tomorrow. right today a song showed up in person tomorrow he's going to show up by a video link and they are going to discuss the u.s. extradition request and that states that he might be facing charges in the u.s.

over conspiring together with chelsea manning stealing data from the pentagon and hacking into their computers and that extradition request will be discussed here in a different court then today this will be a matter of months of songs as lawyers have already said that they will do everything in their power to prevent that from happening to prevent a possible extradition in the to the u.s. and u.k. authorities have said of course the possibility is there for that extradition but we have to make sure we have to get assurances from the u.s. that assault in every way possible that he would not face the death penalty over there what about the original swedish charges of sexual misconduct will he face charges that. right so those charges were dropped while a song was residing in the ecuadorian embassy and now sweden the saying that they could be revived that they could indeed be that he could be indeed facing charges

so that is still an option that he might also be extradited to sweden and a song just greatest fear is that after an extradition to sweden he would that he would then end up in the u.s. and be extradited there. in london thank you. now japan has begun a new imperio era and cracker he tows abdication means his eldest son now he took has ascended the chrysanthemum throne and his first public address as amphora as. a pledge to follow his father's example by devoting himself to peace and staying close to the people. in the final minutes of his say the era of outgoing emperor akihito. and the beginning of rewind the era of naruhito thousands gathered in the streets and night clubs to celebrate. the

also expressed its concerns about the federations or regulations so let's see if we can pick this river all of a movie from d.w. sports welcome. so first of all caster semenya reaction to this ruling caster semenya herself has not said much on the ruling yet she did give a statement with her initial kind of response saying that the i.w. always targeted me specifically and that saw a decade of the i have left has tried to slow me down but this has actually made me stronger the decision of cas will not hold me back she says now i think the first thing to read into this is that she doesn't say whether she accepts the count's decision or not whether she's going to take further action kind of be appealed it can be appealed yes you can still go to a swiss tribunal but i think the other thing to read into the statement is that it's an incredibly defiant message you know this is someone who has had years of doubts raised publicly about her very nature as

a human being and had to deal with all these invasive questions and that must just have a an incredible effect on somebody who is in the public eye all the time i think regardless of which side of this debate people come down on you simply have to admire the strength of character that caster semenya shines through at the time the dignity with which she's dealt with this is she's not mean well the general secretary did find the idea. rules discriminate this case is far from clear cut far from clear cut the caps did say that the implementation should actually be delayed the implementation of these rules so that more evidence can be gathered on the actual science that underpins it all in fact independent research as recently checking on the study so that they found flaws in the data they said quote the data that's presented is not solid and this is just on the scientific side of the issue so this is even before you get to the kind of the moral nature of it as you said council called the rules to discriminate three there are many people on each side

of the debate involved in women's sport enough let's fix who have very strong opinions on this people like martina navratilova billie jean king these icons of women's tennis they support someone you know in her campaign on the other hand you've got someone like paula right cliff who holds the record for martha and in math and who supports the measures saying that they protect women's sports there really are no easy answers on this phil and i think i can't see that changing in the near future either so where does the carriage go from here well as i said so many you can still appeal to a swiss tribunal that has to take place within the next thirty days if she's going to do that however the rules a currently do to go into action on the eighth of my now this could mean already that women who want to compete at the world championships in september may have to start taking medication to lower their hormone levels already next week so this is something we're going to be hearing a lot about this already in the next couple weeks i think all the way up to the

champions ships in september we're going to see who is actually competing if anyone pulls out because of these rules and then of course how competitive those athletes are who have. also officially reduce the level of testosterone which would be told to take drugs by your very international athletics federation well of a movie thank you so much. oh you're going to clubs liverpool take on barcelona in the semifinals of the champions league tonight the spanish team's already won the first major trophy of the season clinching the la liga title over the weekend now the focus turns to that before a six european crowd the interval messi will lead the line for the catalans and he'll be joined by striker luis suarez used to play for the football coach at leicester valverde has called on barcelona fans to help make the company stadium a fortress in the befalls coach told e.w. he believes he knows how to beat the boss are being really brave defending those

clear and all that stuff at play football bios of the biggest challenge you face in a game like this because when they have the ball and use your frustration tolerance must be here because they pass the ball through you also and there you have to accept that but there are moments when you have the ball and then you have to be the biggest threat they can imagine. days champions league semifinals underdogs i.x. pool pulled off another shock beating tottenham away in the first leg the only goal of the game came from x. midfield that danny found to be key in the first half the dutch side must now defend their slim lead in the second leg in amsterdam next week. he's probably best known for his paintings most notably of course the mona lisa but the italian artist was a true man with interesting cups of architecture mattocks engineering natural sciences and even music now with

a five hundred thought of australia after his death on thursday a german scholar is challenging some aspects of the master's legacy. leonardo da vinci was not just an artist an architect but also a philosopher and engineer he is credited with some eighty inventions including submarines and flying machines but according to german author mathias eco it he didn't really invent them all. it's widely asserted that layout of really did build a flying machine himself and that the last will an employee of his tried out this flying machine and that leonardo recorded the flight in his codex with us leonardo dustin's i'm cool digs therefore god i've read the codex and there's nothing in it about the flight. stuff one percent of. the florence workshop a vet oaky oh the medics he's court painter became leonardo's master school he achieved mastery of perspective better than anyone else and he sketched everything

he saw whether in books or in his surroundings in the pages of his notebooks unable to make a living as a freelance artist at the age of twenty five he applied to work as a specialist for military equipment at the milan court of ludovick us forces. did he give me the heart the equipment he promised was either unfeasible totally impractical more simply didn't work so much with him for instance if you look at the tank he proposed it's constructed to be driven by a hand crank and hunt. and that hand crank is attached to a kind of gear a cage gear so that the front wheel goes backwards and the rear wheel goes forwards phone for ya. but he has echoed takes a skeptical view of the devinsky cult basing his research in the artist's own notebooks. it wasn't until the twentieth century that the image of layer
