that in the well being of their own soldiers. they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo. that says we're going to destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for easiness for. a week of demonstrations across france culminating with violence on the streets of power. and water cannon deployed. and i'm a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now not because we've just been in the makes told all of this to you guys. but. the

u.k. finally promises to intervene in the case of. jailed for life by the united arab emirates on spying charges. maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious bush says that every country should bear responsibility for the killing of saudi journalist. at the very same time stressing the importance of riyadh's stance against iran. rounding up the top stories of the day and all of the week this is the weekly on r.t. international very well. has been hit by a week of angry demonstrations against a hike in fuel prices led by people wearing bright yellow vests around eighty thousand protesters vented their anger on saturday nationwide. with violence

flaring up in the heart of paris tear gas water cannon and fires created scenes of chaos throughout the week. has been traveling all over the country including particularly to the capital where she got caught up right there in the commotion. it is as you can see behind me there are a group of around a hundred a year low vest where is these are the these are going to blockade roads a roundabout it's like this this is one of the main arteries that would go from blue on all the way to paris and what they're saying is that president might call has said lots of things he said he's going to come into power he's going to make reforms he's going to change the french economy for the better but the people here say there is noone magic formula and so far my call hasn't brought in a magic formula it's not about politics we're all equal and we're all here against the french government is clear to everybody this is mccrum became president prices

have increased food fuel it's all gone up we don't want them anymore and we want to change the system. it's getting a little rowdy know as you can see the yellow vests protesters have taken over vis a section of the roads they are now completely in control of it and trying to stop the traffic. that's artistry to the entrance of the early days a parent's eyes you can see gases being fired by the police that's as the protesters were trying to enter into that street to get close to it seriously ellie's a perilous. not

a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now and that's because we've just been in the midst of all of this tear gas as you can see it makes a nice red is really hard to open them and at the moment they are just a burning uncontrollably. the police are coming with having to move not because we're all being pushed up the street seems that you've gotten to the protest is it really is absolutely crazy here on the streets of paris. this is a roaches of the arc de triomphe and as you can see here we've got some of the stooges they've become infamous in paris of late they're burning here this is one of the barricades have been put in place. just seems that people now all pew really angry at the situation and the fact that

the president is still refused to meet them to discuss the problems in this country . one hundred and thirty protesters were detained all across the country on saturday forty two of them in paris and nineteen injured including four police officers a french president emanuel that prong strongly condemning the violence. thanks to our lord forces for their courage and professionalism shame on those who attacked them shame on those who have abused of the citizens and journalists shame on those who try to intimidate elected officials there is no room for this violence in the republic. the u.k. is under pressure to justify its ties with the united arab emirates after abu dhabi sentenced a british. demick to life in prison this on charges of spying london has not promised to intervene and matthew had his wife had been appealing to the government

to do so for five months she. says that london's inaction was caused by a fear of upsetting a crucial trading partner i was under the impression that they were putting their interests. of the british citizens. right full freight him in a hearing that without a lawyer matthew hedges was sentenced to life in prison on wednesday accused of spying for the u.k. he's already spent five months in solitary confinement he has a ph d. student who went to the u.a.e. to research the twenty a lever an arab spring uprising. now abu dhabi says it's reviewing a request for clemency from hedgers family but the case has prompted a wave of criticism with calls for a reevaluation of britain's relationship with the oil rich gulf ally now when the hedges was first incarcerated in abu dhabi the u.k. at the time was trying to ink new lucrative deals with the u.a.e. and i see a truck investigates accused of spying and jailed for life that's now the fate of

a british academic researcher in the united arab emirates an ally and friend of the u.k. but how much trouble is this case likely to stir up between the two given what's at stake we are incredibly disappointed that the u.s. should do this we see no foundation in the charges that have been laid against him there will be serious diplomatic consequences for a country that says that is a friend and ally of the united kingdom for months had just wife says her repeated requests for help have fallen on deaf ears at the foreign office and they just disregarded my request they said that it wasn't part of three job the british prime minister says the u.k. is on top of things and doing everything it can we already see it with the i'm wrong storage is of the highest level my marginal friend the foreign secretary is urgently seeking it cool with the foreign minister abdullah. during his visit to the u.a.e. on november the twelfth he raised the issue with both the crown prince mohammed bin

saeed and the foreign minister incidentally also in the emirates last week a u.k. trade minister with fifteen british companies promoting economic ties between the two countries u.a.e. is the fifth largest trading partner for the u.k. outside europe coming after us a japan china and hong kong and bilateral trade is now growing in double digits in october the u.a.e. ambassador to the u.k. said there is hope of bilateral trade reaching twenty five billion pounds by twenty twenty it is currently at over seventeen billion so could the price to. this long term cooperation and being worth more than ruffling feathers over the feet of once it is a problem for trees and government is that they're talking at the moment recently briggs's of taking back control reasserting so foreign to you and that puts them in a dilemma they don't want to be seen to be weak on an issue like this abroad but on the other hand they also need to be building economic bridges outside the e.u.

maybe again the government of the emirates is thinking the british can't possibly push this too far because they're on a weak or economic work it the british could of course withdraw the military support and by extension their supply of the military equipment and at the same time they could face the consequences of. economic boycott of. russia as a malign influence reaches even as far as children's entertainment at least some western media are to be believed they accuse a globally acclaimed russian t.v. cartoon series of being designed to sway young minds. he's chuckling for. that little sweetheart was matia from the cartoon in the bear originally russian the series has been translated into dozens of languages and won the hearts of millions across the globe but it turns out there may be

a sinister side to the enduring little girl and her protective pet. now what russia has forgotten to mention there is that some cartoons are in fact evil putin propaganda yep according to a times u.k. article moshe is just another putin pop it is funny steep. but also a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun fish to see. but it seemed to be particularly worried about one scene and a single episode or moshe's seen wearing a soviet border guards hat. apparently that's meant to be a statement on russia's defense of its borders but even if we say that's true what kind of kid would pick up on that but hey it's best to start when they're young

right the studio behind this propaganda masterpiece of course denies being influenced by the kremlin's hand saying they received no state funding but we did a bit of digging and found some ominous signs you simply can't ignore here comes the kremlin for all of two seconds that could easily be interpreted as a soviet red star the skies as an innocent christmas decoration and you may not realize it but the weird hat that must has got on here is a traditional russian hat now i know those examples aren't so much propaganda as they are just random russian things but that's all we could try but we're not it turns out the bear itself is a representation of russia as a whole you see bear you think russia. right. it's a fact it's a struggle for the part of a hybrid exposure in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror now you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly.

and the hybrid. british. and american. they don't seem to be particularly. i really really want to read about how. to do this properly. i can confirm that i watched two episodes there when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter who speaks russian. the international space station celebrated a birthday on tuesday twenty years ago launched the first module of this orbiting science lab so here's an message from the crew.

two hundred people from eighteen countries. over the years it's become an example of close international cooperation not. warming relations between cold war rivals. friendship to the moon. so you did ski american ski enough to get the experience that you let it beat you. stuck to your book yet. you more. than that in that.

the mission or if you need to support it think of i think population growth a better writer performer or you'll. look for and see if this was to her girl the old if you are right it's a girl that's roughly all for a brother to do what. they were cutting new ground they said well gosh let's see if we can build a bigger space station and what can we do what are the problems that might come up and what you learn. some more money interesting and doesn't just give you more in them some listen it was forceful for a meeting and if she were me. that you suddenly choose

the media you need with those sixty two people could. still each do it through a similar. we have built this nation that have not always me from the. deficit as a problem but the problem is on. the other a fear of me back from the from together we are responsible for the future and for the other for the.

living in close quarters and zero gravity means some pretty clever designs for the modules that make up the i assess and r.t. is that you go to john off was given access to the simulators future astronauts get to grips with their home in space. in a way the international space station is the largest lego puzzle in the world because see it wasn't moved into orbit in one piece at first it was just one cargo module this is the exact replica that it's name in russian means sunrise and indeed it did become the dawn of the as we know it. this small jewel a star is more of a living space there's a cubicle here a dining space also there's a docking simulation as well where cosmonauts practice they're so used to walking skills but some things i didn't plain sight because this is an actual space

exercise bike. we got as close as we could to russia's workhorse rocket the saw use during the journey to and from the international space station this is the module where crews spend hours of their time and i mean it's not very spacious it's actually looks small even for one person while it is designed to fit three inside it's a real work station there are no random things here to mourn it is just to showcase all sorts of technical information about how the rocket is doing indicators buttons but the most crucial the buttons that the most crucial commands they're actually hidden behind small covers like this so they have to be lifted so that they are not touched by accident or. missed or among these problems there's one. that might seem

strange to depressurize the cabin to let all of the air out even while the ships in orbit it so that the crew can put out a fire because this button is extremely important it has additional protection this small screw when the rocket detects a malfunction is lights up on this board among them this one particular ball which we pretend to ignore says rocket failure is this top left it turns red and the alarm goes off for twenty years this station has been home away from home for adventurers visionaries overachievers risk takers people of action it's instilled a passion for discovering the a new generation. still to come here on the program the french president and italian officials are trading insults all. over leonardo da vinci the artist an inventor who passed away roughly

five hundred years ago that's in the mix of your weekly stories in just. they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. for us this is. interesting. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms

race. dramatic. very critical. thanks for joining us for the weekly here on out see dozens of people including children have been hospitalized after an apparent chemical attack launched by militants on the syrian city of aleppo this is according to the russian defense ministry to show you images of victims receiving medical treatment. exhibited symptoms consistent with chlorine exposure. at the scene.

now the russian defense ministry says the attack on a residential area in the northern part of the province was carried out at night the shelling coming from an area controlled by. an al qaeda affiliated group in may bring in province however militant commanders deny any involvement insisting they don't have any chemical weapons the syrian military reportedly launched. counter attack in response to the shelling. the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi is making get more headlines and now donald trump has suggested it's the world that ought to be blamed for his killing. or maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious blois world is a very very vicious place a white house statement titled standing with saudi arabia claims quote the whole truth behind how shorty's killing might never be known and adds that actions already been taken and the saudi arabia remains

a steadfast partner is specially when it comes to countering iran and iran's foreign minister zarif called trump's words shameful. mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance you can think of perhaps who are also responsible for the california fire is because we didn't break the forests just like the finns do saudi officials eventually admitted jamal how she was killed in there it's them both consulate last month and they claim operation riyadh has denied any awareness of the orchestrated killing but has still charged eleven officials washington has sanctioned seventeen saudis for their alleged role in the killing. or traumas insistence that saudi arabia as a key partner in fighting iran has sparked an angry reaction in parts of the american media with some suggesting the u.s. president's caved in to riyadh the president trying today chose

a different path something more along the lines of the world is a very dangerous place because it is we should let murderers get away with it especially if the murderers are paying us lots of money now we're left to figure out why the president is telling that lie why he's going so far out this way to cover up for the country and specifically the ruler that carried out this killing of a u.s. resident and u.s. journalist question the morality of course are entirely absent as they usually are from u.s. government policy as long as those willing to to give big contracts to trump refers to is all the great american companies that are causing so much havoc around the world and i'm sure they're going to continue to kill people this is a this is a terrible thing president troubles doing. leonardo da vinci has been dragged into a royal between the french president and italy's deputy prime minister who have been trading insults online. in this reconsidering loaning the mosque is priceless

works for a major exhibition empires need to renegotiate everything the french cannot have to they're not easy to tell and he only died in france. to give the louvre all these paintings would put italy on the margins of a major cultural event paris is a renowned louvre museum was hoping to borrow some of defense trees notable works for a big show in twenty nineteen marking a five hundred years since his death rome stress that france in that case should learn something equally important perhaps something like the mona lisa i wonder the current agreement the louvre is do it alone works by another italian renaissance master raphael for a twenty twentieth's impression marking the anniversary of his death we talk to people in both countries about where they think the paintings should be shot. i've never. been close to. this john paul of.

any time just give it to see the saudi os it was his latest evidence that he thought you know i'm sorry they don't steal some of the money to get holby years to us enough that i fancy the idea. if it was if. i didn't say i can see it see. you enough to. see i love it when you fantasy any time but many see me in a video that you know if you could. see the beauty.

of it would it mean. that it's going to be. a bit bloody you don't need to be on the. that is the weekly on r.t. international just fold this up you'll be around in about twenty five minutes and join us for another edition of the week. when the whole make us manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the running closest protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not going all middle of the room signals. going to be more real in the

real world. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see that. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. have to go right to the press to supply them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sidney. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.

is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tempi each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich. eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three first shot hit her second and point rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember it was one business showed him afford to miss the one and only boom bust. while the two thousand any financial crash drives america into recession and unemployment willis and a small town in north dakota experiences
