national holiday. as was every year it began with the president presiding over a military parade. this year president mac ron was joined by india's prime minister and arrange for moody as his guest of honor of the day march the beginning of the french revolution back in 17. 89 is usually marked with fireworks, but not this year. tensions are still running high following the violet riots of 2 weeks ago that were sparked by the police shooting of a teenage driver. a more than a 100000 police have been deployed nationwide to deter new outbreaks of violence. dw sonya following. the car reports to night from paris, justice, no peace, a modern virus against police bivens and weeks as a subsidy gets out of control. you'll believe racism

was behind the recent police shooting of a teenager of as read an origin for those of the suburbs. it creates an every day fear. now she's taking a formal bead, is a fall list and be was just so a coverage of the when i or how that works. i'm scared of, of getting a call to tell me that my son has been shot. imagine we have to live with this kind of figure in a country like friend. it can't be given a situation like this. politicians have to act to find a solution because let's be honest. there is racism in the police. it exists, not the father lo mika says, the police need to own people's trust and put additions, need to take on the social problems. the government hasn't given any response to the social divisions running through the country. in many subgroups, people don't have the same rights, they don't have the same access to public services. frustrations have erupted the

fonts. marginalized and multi ethnic email suburbs have right at an angle against the latest vitamins, his ways to fresh challenge president emanuel my call to fix the problem. so, you know, he speaks up security and valve to address the underlying, so feedback to us. so what my quote isn't only under pressure to tackle the volume, and he's also in the political pressure from default, right? for show that's maureen defense. natural riley is benefiting from the places with voters approving all sorts of response. i'm how long killed hard line policies on crime and immigration. so man bully is a former police officer now and be in depends. all right talking. she says the problem is not with the police. yeah, fire and police cost is to say for the police are not racist. someone is not jerome, it will take you up to what they work in

a very difficult context between cities and neighborhoods, where the overwhelming majority of foreigners or a foreign origin, with codes from elsewhere. they know that it's the real problem the for him. and he also points to sing the additional disturbing of emotions. so if i could have the bone, you and i can assist this. what we seen is not a kangaroo into somebody's uncle, but a pretext for delinquent. this for all those who hate friends who commit crimes in our country and to show the institution squaws because they've been encouraged by certain politicians on the far less to keep repeating that we've seen bad colonizer idea the me. so could we use that to his argument has no take us here. the unrestored police might and is just the latest crisis dropped from. i'm sorry, i'm sad to see my country like this really said. it's not how i'd like friends to be friends is political and social tensions of showing no signs of easy and

many jersey country has reached a tipping point 5, i'm going to bring in now the journalist colstat angler. he covers france. he's spoken with this numerous times. it's good to see a call. i don't know if i should wish you a happy but still day, but that's what it is today. the day we're france celebrates itself. maybe you can enlighten is why does the government need a 100000 riot police on the streets this we get that's the next or how to me. well, the official reason for, for the police presence is to reduce the risk of a quote, extreme violence that we saw that you know, at the beginning of this month, at the end of last month, the extreme violence, of course, reference to the riots that we saw are running over the police, killing of a 17 year old now and in the suburbs of parents. and so there's that, that there's a reason i think if you want to go even a little bit beyond that, beyond sort of truly technical aspects. politically. i think the government wants to show that it is means to maintain control over law in order that it's taking,

you know, a stiff hand and making sure that nothing resembling what we saw on our uh earlier this month repeats itself again on, on today the national audit, and so that's the, that's the signal you say that the government is sending. what about the president? i understand that president mcfarland is not addressing the nation tonight at this time of division. what we're, how should we read his silence a i think there are a couple of points that comes to mind. one, that is, this is consistent with something that, that we've seen over the course of my calls presidency. which is that when there are sort of delicate moments, moments of crisis, the president is very careful that when he speaks and how we speak. so he doesn't hesitate to shy away from speaking, i should say really. and he's going to be talking with the yellow of us back at the end of 2018. we saw it with the mass protests over the hiking, the retirement age from 60 to 60 do earlier it is your result even with the right. so my call takes a backseat, i think that's part of the other reason is that,

you know, frankly this is not a very politically opportune moment for him to, to speak back in april. i'll be here with that retirement reform. a protest that i mentioned, michael said that they were at a 100 days a. com. uh, in the 100 days it is uh that it succeeded, that initial call had been anything but com or the government wrong to been unable to find a new political base to advance in parliament. and of course we saw that those rights really be and say, this is a com and we did that macro and he's in the 2nd half of his final presidency. and should we, can we expect any initiatives that he launches to combat inequalities and divisions? can we expect them to, to have any effect? i mean, it's a good question. i think, i think even before that what was important distresses, that muscle has, has a problem with really hanging presidents figured out which is the lack of a solid parliamentary majority. he doesn't have enough those in parliament on his

own. his own coal is in order to advance legislation by itself. essentially, there are 2 options for the government to get anything done right now. major reforms. one is they can take that as sort of nuclear option of the french constitution article or $9.00, which allows them to approve bills of a 1000 up or down to the national assembly. that is extremely politically polarizing. the optics are not great. that's what we saw with retirement for the other route is the government can essentially try to find political allies in order to get things done. and right now that's, that's pretty clearly those allies are situated on a political are right. and so i think when you look at the sort of initiatives that are coming forth right now for michael on and the remainder of the 2nd term that, that i think bear the traces of that of that political choice to live with the right really is to try to win support, right. who get started? some of the issues that we're talking about now. and then michael wants to this on immigration, deporting more on document. numerous that's been something that he's been speaking about recently talking, not finding delinquency. i'm talking about adding new work requirements for, for,

for welfare recipients. these are all issues that i've only had some support in, for instance, i've also heard clearly and it wouldn't have support for me, right. i think that's sort of the coloring that he's present, easy, right? now is there a wildcard, which i'll just finish with is that, is the government decides that it can't. it is not content with the answer to options. it could potentially call for new elections as all the national assembly and call for the elections. that of course, comes with the rest of it. so because there is no assurance that in my home and how to work in majority. and in case of course, you know, we know that the far right is looking to gain political capital for it from the, the events of the past few weeks. and i wanna ask you about those events, you little bit more say which we could argue. so some of the most severe, the recent writing we're are the biggest fault winds in society. there it yeah, it is. this obviously is it's, it's a big question, but i think you know what, what the ryan spoke to and i know i had, i was out in the streets,

in the early part of those rights to speak with the writers. frankly. i think you can call them asking them what they were doing. there are very young people, uh, told me that they felt like this is the only way to get their voice. heard is the only way to show the friends that, that, that they're angry about, racism of discrimination. i think that this is a, a major issue that we're seeing in, in, in french products and meet your thought line. you might say, you know, one other issue is we have major so, so we can only provide that's really across for some of the overlaps with that. with that 1st point. um, you know, you have no braces or fairly gals here in society, but it's also less of gallons here in that it used to be, you know, it has the world's wealthiest man and also has pockets of poverty and in mass unemployment. you know, and i think maybe of what is the last issue to, to finish on the kind of crisis to have different. um, uh, points of about how to address it progresses. well, we will definitely see what happens as we move it to the weekend. if it will be a peaceful one or not journalist cold stangler, we appreciate your important call. thank you. take care.

nato is in a week that sold the alliance in march, finland officially joining nato this week with ukraine hoping to follow suit sooner rather than later. now that was clear at nato summit in vilnius, but ukraine is ending the week with the certainty that it will not be joining nato any time soon. that said, nato members did re committed themselves to helping ukraine. is it battles? the russian invaders, the united states also remains adamant that russian president, vladimir putin, will never achieve what he set out to do with this war. here's us secretary of state anthony blink. but as long as he continues to believe that somehow he will prevail, he's likely to continue. he needs to be disabused. is that notion these long term commitments to ukraine security but also to as he can nomic wellbeing as well as

the amount of training assistance are probably the best way to do that. but fundamentally, as president biden said, yesterday i put in his already lost, in terms of what he was trying to achieve in ukraine. remember, this was about for putting a racing ukraine from the map ending its independence, subsuming it into russia that's failed and cannot succeed. are going to bring in now jim towns and he spent 2 decades at nato and the pentagon working on european policy. he's now a senior fellow with the trans atlantic security program at the center for a new american security. he joins me tonight from washington, dc. jim, it's good to have you on the day i understand you just returned from vilnius, you were there for the native for him, which is kind of a side line event for the native summit and tell me what were the main takeaways for you as well. the main takeaway was that they were able to take

a very emotional time for ukraine as well as the elias of dealing with the relationship between nato and ukraine. and they took this sensitive time and some little bit of turbulence in the middle of the summit. and, and they were able to bring some good from it as well. they ended on a high note. they really did show the unity remains within that alliance, even though there are different any views about the relationship between nato and ukraine. uh so that was the big takeaway. the unity is absolutely critical and the programs that were launched as well. there's a couple that are really important. one is the of the new natal military structure that they're going to be putting in along the frontier with russia, more nato forces. there's going to be permanent deployments that's gonna look like about the event appointments we had during the call more. so that's really important then under the other is actually came from the g 7. and that is that assistance package long term for ukraine. that when coupled with the assurance that

from 8 till the membership is a pretty good deal for void for ukraine, the parts don't escape ukrainian leaders. they are sitting open me now that they are counter offensive is not progressing as quickly as they'd like. that after these commitments that were, were made in building yes, can keep moving forward, assured that support will not depend on quick victories on the battlefield. so yes, i think, i think there is a lot of positive for ukraine moving forward in terms of support from the alliance support from the united states. so we know that the offensive is gonna take time and that's ok. they're up against some pretty top obstacles. we're beginning to give a lot of equipment that they needed. f sixteens will be coming and also the cost of munitions. um, other nations are providing some armor and some ammunition and destruction thing as well. i think there's a lot that they can, that they can depend on and that they do for an office confidence. i really do ok

key. but also seems assured that nato membership for ukraine is not just a bargaining chip with russian that the west wants to keep up its sleeve. would you say that's an accurate description of reality as well? i think there's a uh, the, the motion of the, of the, of the events over the summer to about membership of that emotion has set off a lot of views. i think that not necessarily true in terms of motivations of the united states, motivation of nato. why ukraine is being held back. i think there is certainly some important reforms that have to be done. so i don't think there was, there was some of some other kind of object behind the scenes going on, which is why they didn't get membership. i, they are, they're going to go through these reforms the minds as, as a guest,

promoted ukraine, if you will, at nato, to a nato ukraine council. and that's going to give ukraine a lot more of a voice that nato and a lot of assistance from allies in terms of the reforms that need to be done. i'm so there's a lot out here a bit, i think shows that in terms of the motivation of nato allies, the motivation of the united states, particularly towards ukraine, towards the long haul. and towards the day that they're going to be a native members. i think the, the ukraine should be very confident about that. there was unity on that. the splits are only on how fast is going to happen. and i think it will be a surprise maybe sooner rather than later. jim, i think if people are clear on why it's in a us interest for you create a win this more, they certainly don't want there to be further acts of russian aggression moving forward. but why is it, or how is it in the best interest of the united states for ukraine to join nato?

the we're is the advantage of having made of having ukraine inside nato as opposed to having it as an ally of need, as well as the, is a message to put him that he will never win. and he will never take ukraine. they're outside and they don't know that we're pushing in a lot of assistance as we said. but the point to put in is number one. he doesn't get the veto. who comes into the lions to do does not. it's got to be up to the nations themselves. to want to join and it's up to date old aside whether we want that nation in or not. and so this none of this month, something that pollutant is going to have one said. and that's what's important is that he knows that. and when the fighting reaches a point where having them come in, the lions makes sense. that's another message to put in the that the 5 years from now, 10 years from now. he won't be able to attack ukraine then either an expect to wind . but so this is really something where this is going to give confidence the

ukraine from the, from a long term. it gives them something to know that they're fighting towards becoming members of nato body towards a heavy social security. and knowing that that's in the years to come, they will be safe for another task by russia and then who needs to get that message as well. the gym has invited me put and a half, and he already had to say in the ukraine. joining they do. i mean, he has accelerated nato's ascension into the alliance if, if he had not evaded of ukraine. i mean, before it, before the war, people that data were saying, you know, we're talking about 2030 years, best before native joins. now we're talking about something that could be much, much sooner. and that's all because of the vital reapproved and a well, he just really made some serious miscalculations. i don't think he thought to that after he and they did last year. and then all of a sudden the lines would, would increase in size by defense. and by the sweets joining,

i don't think he thought that the west and the united states would jump to ukraine's side and, and we'll be making sure that the pat it's moved for ukraine to join nato. so what he's the set off to do, which was to keep ukraine under, under the thumb of russia to keep control of things and keep, to keep ukraine out of the you, out of nato that absolutely has backfired on him. and so he but he needs to know that this has backfired on him for the long term. that was once the fighting comes to an end somehow in the coming months or coming year that the west isn't doing a turnaround and habits attention going elsewhere. pollutants needs to get the understanding that this is now a whole new era in your whole new era, for nato, and a whole new era for ukraine. they're going to be part of nato. and this is going to mean that's a putting them, his successor will not be able to get their hands on keith. right jim. it entails

and unfortunately we're out of time, jim, but we certainly appreciate your time tonight and excellent analysis. thank you. you're very welcome. europe is bracing for what could be it's hardest, they ever temperatures across greece, france and spain are expected to surpass 40 degrees celsius this weekend forecast. as a warning it parts of italy could reach a record 48 degrees celsius. that's a 118 degrees fahrenheit. as families head off on summer vacations across the continent, officials are urging them to take precautions. a to risk is carried from the acropolis. it is, i mean it's solving temperatures across the greek top. it's all. the red cross is being dispatched to the eye clinic attraction with a hunting up walter and helping those in need know she is there a dizzy and they have immediately to take them out of sign immediately. the crow
