4:04 am
. so what we have at the moment here in paris is a situation that looks very similar to what we saw from that much smaller group in brussels on friday but i can tell you. here repairers if we look over here you see one of the gentleman from the french riot police he's firing those mutations that all the the tear gas munitions also the flashpoint mediations he's firing them over towards this particular area is something going off right next to me i'm going to be away from. apes very much a developing scene here at the police in much more visible presence than certainly
4:05 am
they were last saturday whereby they were allowed to be overcome essentially by place and we saw this whole area of the. police say off the tree and looking like a wolf as you can see just behind me now police firing off. oh i'm going to get out the way here police firing. tear gas rounds. they demonstrate is that i gathered just in one of those i mean there must be one two three four five six mostly around ten different streets come off they are the train from here and they are certainly trying to move demonstrators out of each and every single one of them i'm going to have to go right now because i don't have any respirator any type of me and where i am is about to be completely overtaken by gas from i have to say from both sides it has been coming in as much as it's been outgoing of course what is outgoing it was being fired by the only thing you see just shooting right now that is from. oh excuse me i have to leave out the way

about that is far more. harsh than was before demonstrated this is the way it looks pirates right now and i have a feeling i'll be giving you updates throughout the day i'm pretty sure you will as well get yourself to a safe distance for now though peter all over in central paris thanks very much for that update. and these seeds have been developing over the past hour or so and they've also been getting a lot of public support as well a recent poll said sixty six percent of french people supported the yellow vests protests even though they've become fractious and violent on this one looks to be no different although the riot police as peter was mentioning moving in in greater numbers and trying to hold people back there that area around the tree on the shelves a laser usually a very busy thoroughfare even on a saturday morning if you can imagine first of december would normally have christmas shoppers around it i guess but not today that area's been cordoned off only pedestrians are allowed access not that you'd imagine many wanting to be in
4:07 am
that part of central paris right now as you can see with the smoke and the effect that causes the number of protesters from what we can see from the pictures don't seem to outnumber the police at this stage but we will keep watch on what's happening those latest fuel tax protests as we said into the third week now with no sign of quelling despite french government efforts to meet some of the protesters to try and take some of the hate out of the anger for the fuel price increases which is having a devastating effect according to the protesters on the pay packets of people in france as we heard now in belgium as well will keep watch on what's happening in central paris get back to peter all over when he's got somewhere a little bit safer. the french government says that the fuel taxes need to remain close to current levels to pay for public services the tax is also part of a broader efforts to discourage car use and also to cut carbon emissions brussels based journalist look at the high prices of making life difficult for people in
4:08 am
both france and belgium. the. stemm stray sion ed it is being cancelled because the organizers couldn't organize the security they said to the police so they had originally cancelled it and it's only through social media then a few hundred people were there at ten o'clock to demonstrate of these yellow vests oh like in france of course it's mainly in the french speaking part of the country of belgium that they demonstrate imitating the french and in a sense but with the same ideas that taxation is come to. papal level people very peaceful everywhere with a yellow first to say that they were fed up with the taxes especially the tax on diesel the price of the few is sixty percent taxes fifty five to sixty percent depending on the country it's much too high and when you have a single mother with kids in the country who needs her car to go to work and earns one thousand one hundred maybe met her and has to pay three hundred three hundred

4:11 am
the russian side says they were losing the opportunity for direct contact with mr trump somewhere here at the venue but in any case there were plenty of other meetings planned for both presidents white america began his day. with the leaders of. brazil south africa india and china they got together as brics so there was a kind of a summit within a summit later in the day vladimir putin met emmanuel macron and a journalists who works with the french president reported that he actually took a piece of paper and draw a map for mr mack want to show what actually happened between russian and ukrainian ships in the current strait speaking of mr macron he was one of the leaders who ended up being caught in a string of bad luck either before they arrived at the g.

4:14 am
asian room put on sanctions and limit their ability to get on financial transactions but the whole thing is from my viewpoint as an american and some spend some time in politics i'm concerned about that for our viewpoint from us our viewpoint because when i look at what happens to countries that have a reserve currency spend too much money go deeply in debt stretch themselves too far you know not too long ago a soviet system did that they got in trouble so i think that if anybody is should be vulnerable and should be worried about it it should be the americans being you know isolated and that would be detrimental in a way i sort of like some independence and not these you know international organizations but that's not what would be coming isolation it would be painful for us because someday there will be a challenge to the dollar and then that will be a big problem for united states while world leaders prepared to get down to

4:17 am
because of the impressionists they consider themselves completely subjective in their view of the world if they can simply raise rates and lower rates based on a when there's nothing guiding them in economic reality there's no school of economics there's no science behind it it's pure when. you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to. have two going to be pros it's like them before three of them or ten people. interested in the waters of. tributes are being paid from across america's political spectrum to former u.s.

4:19 am
his one year old son's birthday his wife posted several images of the party on instagram showing their friends and family clad in native american inspired tribal print blankets i'm not got many angry online saying that playing cowboys and indians is not acceptable anymore cowboys and indians can you not afford a publicist who would explain the reality if such a terrible idea you throw in a cowboys in indians birthday party on thanksgiving celebrates genocide white supremacy and slavery maybe next year he could have a master slave owners and slaves party people need to understand the genocide of indigenous people in this country it was horrific and nothing cute about it stop perpetuating this as cute it's not. ok with hart says the criticism he's been getting pointed to some deep problems in modern culture. this shows just how stupid
4:20 am
our world is becoming with opinion people are at a point of an all time high to throw race. judgement into the development of a one year old's birthday party with the theme is cowboys and indians and it's it's based around the alfie it's that are given to these young kids and the reaction we heard ranged from whether the party is sending the wrong message to children or if it's just innocent topless playing phone and goings conversation worth having here's why the implications are much broader at first glance oh it's just a one year old's birthday party but here's the thing about it a lot of the decisions we make as adults are based on information that we received as children the truth of the matter is that some of that information was incorrect when you were a child and you say i want to dress up like an indian or we can argue whether it's indian whether native american the child does not say now i get to realize the fact
4:21 am
that these people are racially inferior to me and i can celebrate the subjugation of these people by virtue of white forebears and that's not what happens is it's a child who says i like to dress like that because we white washed history so much few people are even willing to deal with it because they're so blind to what's been really going on around them as we build that that'll back what was behind this statue or peel back where behind this giving celebration lay began so i will always go for the real issue when we played cowboys and indians we never said can i play the cowboy so i can show water the plains indian no it was i'll be the indian you be the cowboy we're kids were pretending but what do you pretend to do with them you pretend to shoot them you pretend to tie them up. scientists shoot them arrow what we're talking about is little kids who are innocent at each juncture of these
4:22 am
moments in history where we unveil the truth we get closer to ensure wrestling the real underlying issue of racism in america this is going to right now show the rest of the world with all due respect that and i mean this how absolutely pathetic this is that seemingly grown adults are talking about the racial implications and the appropriation of culture from little kids who want to dress up like indians. it's being claimed google stuff discussed how to downgrade right wing media outlets and so trans olds to influence us elections it came to light after one of the outlets mention the daily caller said that it got ahold of internal google communications and karen has the story. let's face it a lot of our news these days tends to focus on one man what he does what he says what he looks like but if it was up to google your reading list on the donald would
4:23 am
be limited rather than limitless oh google i want to believe it when you say that you are non-biased platform but it's not so easy when all these stories claim to prove otherwise and here we go again this time leaked messages showing conversations between employees who show was what it really takes to be the right fit for google committed passionate dynamic not to mention super liberal and anti trump this was an election of false equivalence is and google sadly how to handle it let's concentrate on teaching critical thinking a little bit of that would go a long way let's make sure we reverse things in four years demographics will be on our side are you working for an online search engine or the resistance well apparently you can do both when you are on the payroll of one of the most prominent tech giants on the planet when donald trump won the keys to the white house it came
4:24 am
as a shock to many of us at google the news was a disaster that was the first moment i really felt like we were going to lose for them it was really being for it did feel like a ton of bricks dropped on my chest i wonder who they voted for. and like with any loss the google employees seem to pass through the stages of grief shock depression denial anger someone needed to take the blame and who better than those pesky conservative websites how many times did you see the election now card with our sims from opinion blogs breitbart daily caller elevated next to legitimate news organizations that's something that can and should be fixed and i think to see him. here just an innocent chat between some employees about how to manipulate search results which google absolutely one hundred percent
4:25 am
does not do anymore there was that fact check feature which appeared to spend quite a lot of time targeting conservative websites only and repeatedly attribute it false claims to those websites even though it never made them in the first place but that's being removed now anyway so no harm done but wait there was that other time that google and you tube chose to simply ban conservative channels it doesn't like very much even you also truly r t and our colleagues at sputnik have been d. ranked the google guys clearly not fond of questioning more and the cherry on top of this rotten sunday is actually getting fined billions of dollars by the e.u. and twenty seventeen for what oh manipulating search results i would say a good time to turn it down a bit is when even dylan trump himself is catching on to your antics but you said it yourself right off the trunk one something needs to be done because it's very
4:26 am
vigilant and thinking about all these issues what can we do to you to. maybe better quality of governance decision making and so forth time to pour some ice on the situation our processes and policies would not have allowed for any manipulation of search results to promote political idiology. ok that's it for now we're going to keep watching these protests in paris certainly the number of yellow vests swelled in the past half an hour alone and that's around the film's elisei in central paris the third week of that yellow vests process so they're called again fuel tax increases is a call for a large scale protest and riot police have turned out in force to tear gas has been used but also smoke grenades being thrown by some of the protesters as well and indeed one of our colleagues at r.t. france has been injured in that enveloping unrest as we can see in central paris and we also saw you're a correspondent suffer from one of the smoke bombs to will have to catch up with him in the next hour we'll also keep that window for you live during the next
