5:02 am
a row over rising fuel costs taxes and the high cost of living as we've been watching over the past couple of hours riot police are out in force too with the area closed off as they use smoke grenades tear gas and apparently non-live rounds to hold back increasingly agitated crowds who kitted out in the yellow vests which their campaign is named after. i. was. while covering the protests a correspondent from the from. was injured he says by a rubber bullet fired by police and suffered an injury to his neck not only that
5:03 am
but your correspondent peter all over when we told last course in the take us there was well paid to be doing ok this time the numbers that have swelled since we spoke to you last hour what's it looking like right now. right well i may be moving as we're talking to get away from ortigas but what we can see is a fairly secure one comes over this way while we can what we can certainly see is more tear gas falling on our position where we are right now there are two streets one to the left one to the right leading owned to the roundabout where the the arc de triomphe is situated this is where we are right now we're going to keep on moving this way away from that cigar so i can keep on still going to you certainly many more people. have a right as we can hear many of those incredibly upset with. only the french president. they are trying their best to repeat the the scenes. we saw
5:04 am
a week ago here in the the same location basically where the show sillies a was essentially changed into a war zone. as police and demonstrators clashed in days incidents there am i think we're far enough away as you can see we're right underneath the famous sean sillies a famous an octogenarian frighted just off the seans elisei. these demonstrators have been very clear in what they've wanted to say they want to say the fuel prices are getting too high and they want to say they're unhappy with the current government headed up by a minute they were invited to a meeting on friday. by the prime minister of france that meeting well it turned into an absolute boss only two out of the six main leaders they were expected to turn up did turn up out of those two one of them left after less than two minutes saying that they'd always said all along they wanted this whole thing to be filmed and sent out life so that all of the people could see what what was taking part in
5:05 am
the gacy ations that was never going to be on the table and that of course resulted in people moving out but what we can see right now this is a very very fluid situation we see riot police moving in one of the demonstrators falling to the floor right there actually receive we. are actually is remove into this we're seeing riot says riot police tear gas everything you can possibly imagine as they try and take away that one person who fell to the floor that we're going to come back out of the tear gas right now as you can imagine it's it's not exactly pleasant. to say just how serious the situation is here right now one of our colleagues from the front said. excuse me may excuse me yes as you see tensions are xcuse me in apologies for that language hope makes a lot usually excuse me excuse me apologies for anybody that may have been offended by language used during. that moment right then as i can say we are we did just
5:06 am
come and we are still and quite severe attack from tear gas from those police that wanted people away from that area. one of our colleagues from outside france was injured in the. early she was injured and had to be taken to hospital during. skin issues this morning as you see people moving away. we don't. know if you know a lot of people incredibly obscenity as you can tell. you very much scuse me. the ultimate idea is that people who have come into this demonstration are angry about fuel prices it is clear from the moment you write that angry about fall more than not a money one mccollum's government is on the judgment and it's certainly not being judged. to be to be being correct by the people that have come out here and they said this around it's difficult to say how many people are here in the yellow vests
5:07 am
all of this demonstration around the off the trail i would put it somewhere in the in the low thousands that are here and in amongst the various streets but as you can see pitched battles taking place here in the center of paris which is is quite a shocking thing to see with say a police using the the tear gas also. riot is flowing throwing well there own tear gas as well that we've certainly seen throughout south today morning they were throwing things at the police as well also broken bottles rocks anything they can get their hands on being held at the place it does seem as for now that the centers of standoff located between just over my left shoulder here down this one of the routes the despite his legs that come off the the roundabouts of the arc de triomphe. that seems to be the center of it and this is the situation right now it has been like this for around an hour just to wrap up where we are those
5:08 am
demonstrators the yellow dress and the yellow vest demonstrators have come back onto the streets of paris on saturday angry at a rise in fuel costs they're also angry at iran. in the cost of living here in france they've seen this violence that we saw on saturday last week reciprocated in brussels during the week and on friday by a much smaller group it's been repeated here again in paris this saturday we've seen tear gas used one of our colleagues from the south be taken to hospital as you hear more and more explosions are going off we're going to go back over there and try and find out exactly what's happening there as it stands at the moment but as you can see and as you can hear it's certainly developing it's certainly quite rule it certainly very wrong when it comes to emotions as we heard people to be coming up to us has been talking saying you're not reporting what's happening here we're doing our best to report what's happening here from the ground i can assure you
5:09 am
that. this is the situation right now in paris i can imagine this is going to continue for a while more police are firing tear gas to my right we're going to have to leave you for now ok to get back to safety we'll catch up with whatever later on our paper all about outside the uk to fail in central paris thanks for that. the french government says that the fuel taxes need to remain close to current levels in order to pay for public services the tax is also part of broader efforts to discover card use and cut carbon emissions brussels based journalist who have a says that the high prices are making life difficult for people both in france and where the protests have spread to now in belgium. this demonstration at being canceled because the organizers couldn't organize the security they said to the police so they had origin make 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 like in france of course it's mainly in the french speaking part of the country of belgium that they demonstrate imitating french and in
5:10 am
a sense but with the same ideas that taxation has come to. able level people very peaceful everywhere with a yellow festus. 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 fifty four for petrol or gas american they can't do it anymore they are dying simply and it's the silent majority that pays its taxes normally. and for other headline news now leaders of the world's biggest economies are in argentina right now where they've got a tough time ahead trying to get on the same page contending with trade turbulence and political upheaval will get you up to speed next to and also tell you what's
5:11 am
ahead for day two of the g. twenty. from but a trade wars two challenges to traditional international alliances leaders of the world's most industrialized economies a struggling to find common ground at the g twenty summit in argentina trying to reports many of this year's hot button issues are being talked about on the sidelines but on thursday donald trump pulled the breaking news trigger by tweeting right on the plane i will meet with putin because of the ukraine the u.s. administration made it clear they were trying to send a strong message to russia and they wanted everyone to hear in bordeaux scientists to feel that the aggression that we witnessed this week is unacceptable and
5:12 am
so strong message has been sent please. the. i was a strong message been sent just through isolation the people see an isolation. to. the russian side says they were gret 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 who began his day in one of
5:13 am
august 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 journalist who works with the french president reported that he actually took a piece of paper and draw a map for mr macron 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. twenty or right after they got here.
5:14 am
everything was scheduled down to the last minute but when we got direction now we understood president macron was already getting into he's car. back to the summit itself a couple thoughts of former u.s.
5:15 am
congressman ron paul where he doubts that trump's tactics towards russia will derail any positive results. that sounds like high school stuff i'm not going to talk to you anymore though i think the diplomacy is lousy even if you agree with somebody and on occasion i'll agree with our president but then it's under by and you know sometimes by the diplomacy and the way way talks and the aggressiveness i'll do this i'll give you this or operates actions on you and threats are involved even even if there's an attempt to correct a problem see but no i i don't i don't think that it's good to try to isolate and punish and 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 either 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
5:16 am
a soviet system did that they got into 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 to 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 business thousands of people turned out in the argentinian capital to voice their disapproval of the summit was at the heart of the demonstrations.
5:17 am
this march is really the culmination of a week long state and t g twenty protests what you see here is across spectrum of people there i am a curse there are anti capitalist there are union workers there are students feminists you name it people it turned out the entire city is in lockdown today has been declared a public holiday and a public transport has been cancelled flights are being diverted now the argentinean operatives are taking no chances some twenty two thousand police and security officers have been deployed turbulence on the streets around the summit table in buenos aires the leaders who got a lot to do on day two later this saturday if they're to agree any kind of joint statement at the end of a week's work among the delegates of the g twenty whatever comes out of the discussions will follow the subsequent news conferences from both presidents trump and putin mrs leader will also meet with his german and argentinean counterparts to talk to listen across those two arteries across it with our correspondents both here and in the argentinian capital on air and online.
5:18 am
5:19 am
they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so. to be cross with the four weeks three people. interested always in the water. thanks to. tributes are being paid from across america's political spectrum to former u.s. president george h.w. bush has died at the age of ninety four he was the forty first leader of the united states in a statement. sound judgment unflappable leadership or former president obama said america has lost. in the second world war as a fighter pilot and later became director of the. joint politics top table. serving
5:20 am
as vice president under ronald reagan before becoming president himself serving one term but touring a particularly turbulent period at the end of the cold war his presidency so the nine hundred ninety one gulf war following iraq's invasion of kuwait the families political legacy continued of course when his son george w. bush later served two terms as president while another son jeb bush served as florida's governor. of wild west parties made more than a few people livid after american actor and comedian kevin hart held a famed event for 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 the tribal print blankets that 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 throwing
5:21 am
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. well as for kevin hart he says the criticism he's been getting points to some deep problems in modern culture. this shows just how stupid our world is becoming with putting people who are at a point of an all time high to throw racial judgment into the development of a one year old birthday party where the theme is cowboys and indians and it's it's based around the outfits that are given to these young kids and the reaction
5:22 am
we've been hearing range from whether the policy sends the wrong message to children or if it's just innocent toddlers playing fun and games. conversation we're having here is 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 could argue whether it's indian with a native american the child does not say now i get to realize the fact 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 whitewashed history so much few people are even willing to deal with it because they're so blind to what's been
5:23 am
really going on around them as we build that that'll back what was behind this statue or peel back when behind this giving celebration layby gansey i will always go to the real issue when we played cowboys and indians we never said can i play the cowboy so i can slaughter the plains indian no it was i'll be the indian you be the cowboy where kids were pretending but what do you pretend to do with them you pretend to shoot them you pretend to tie them up at your side and to shoot them arrow what we're talking about is little kids who are innocent at each juncture of these moments in history where we unveil the truth we get closer to being 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
5:24 am
appropriation of culture. little kids who want to dress up like indians. it's being claimed that google staff discussed how to downgrade right wing media outlets in so it's results of influence us elections it came to light after one of the outlets mention the daily caller said that it got hold of internal google communications that 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 be limited rather than limitless 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
5:25 am
committed passionate dynamic not to mention super liberal and anti trump this was an election of false equivalence use 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're on the payroll of one of the most prominent tech giants on the planet when donald trump one of the keys to the white house it came 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 loot and it was really building for it did feel like a ton of bricks dropped on my chest i wonder who they voted for. and like with any loss they google employees seem to pass through the stages of
5:26 am
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 caught with our sums from opinion blogs breitbart daily caller elevated next to legitimate news organizations something that can and should be fixed nothing to see here just an innocent shot between some employees about how to manipulate search results which google absolutely one hundred percent does not do anymore there was that fact check feature which appeared to spend quite a lot of time targeting conservative web sites 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
5:27 am
like very much even yours truly r t and our colleagues at sputnik have been the 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. in twenty seventeen for what oh manipulating search results i would say a good time to turn it down a bit is when even the long trump himself is catching on to your antics but you said it yourself right off the trunk one something needs to be done pickups and so forth be very vigilant in thinking about all these issues what can we do to you to . maybe a 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 me
5:28 am
you know nails here in half an hour to take on the growing protest underway now in central paris and also day two still ahead of the g. twenty in argentina of course i saw feel latest financial fix because of reports. oh my stars are this is the kaiser report yeah i made this time myself with my own son then making my own clothes now and i get backed into the hand crafted reality that's what we do in this show has reportedly we take time to craft every story for you. stacy you know i'm going to turn to a work of art and it's a famous work of art by the italian artist pierre own mans only he made ninety cans of his own let's call it human manure in ninety cans some of them sell for up to
5:29 am
three hundred thousand us dollars equivalent today made these in one nine hundred sixty one but i'm going to remain in this for the artists at the u.s. federal reserve bank cantillon de artist oh we're going to rename this work of art because the feds clarion says monetary policy more art than science and i renamed it cantillon dot artist because the cantillon effects i think is what basically. infects much of the world whether you see the riots in paris or the election of trump or the brakes it so remember the cantillon effect this dude richard cantillon lived two hundred years ago and what he realized was that original research peons of newly printed money enjoy higher standards of living. at the expense of later recipients of that money so
5:30 am
since the financial crisis of two thousand and seven two thousand and eight two thousand and nine when those artists at the fed began printing money the new refit cyprian's of it are those winners that hillary spoke about. in the cities in need to lose your offered a million directions or let's get back to the original quote ok or the guy at the fed say though the person at the fed clearly it i said monetary policy yes is more art yes than science ok let's focus on that what does this mean it means that the fed is the people who run the economy who price money the commodity that runs the economy they say it's more art than science it means are just making it was a go along it means that there is no principles that they are guided by they consider themselves artists they consider themselves impressionist they consider themselves completely subjective in their view of the world that they can simply.
