around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team and myself you know no male alone welcome to our top story rugby scenes right now in central park west where a run fifteen hundred protesters are mussing a run the arc de triomphe for the third sunday in a row these are live pictures right now you're seeing all that police charging those rioters those protesters this is happening right now in the french capital what you're seeing it's occurring because of rising fuel costs and taxes riot police as you can see there in the coming around trying to encircled the protesters the entire area is closed off thirty nine arrests we believe have been made at this stage officers you can see there very timely indeed they're using smoke

grenades tear gas. live to hold back the increasing the crowds who are wearing at those yellow vests after which there is named what you're just noticing now that police almost being pushed back trying to charge it seems every few moments but not really having any luck putting back those hundreds and hundreds of protesters let's go to our correspondent who is not very far away from where. we're witnessing right now peter just as we've been speaking we've been seeing the police charging the rioters the rioters standing there we were talking to you last hour tensions clearly high give us a sense of the younger there today. right i'm just next to where you've actually shown those pictures from they will say to paint. picture of what situation looks like here at the arc de triomphe in paris is

you have a central nucular of police in full riot gear fully equipped we're actually seeing tear gas flying over our heads right now i'm going to be moving out of the way as i'm talking to you that's really not safe for me to be stood there doing that it's also not to just explain what was happening the police that you can see located just over there which was exactly one hundred eighty degrees from where i was facing they just fired several rounds dangerously close over my head right then that's something i've certainly never seen by any riot suppression force used in europe it would seem that the police he had to not have this under control in the slightest they were cold and they were told last time around that they arrived into fewer numbers this time around they've come out so the force put they really seems to be no type of controls and strategy from the police of what they're doing there

is a nucleus of police inside the aka tree and just over to my left this come from another experience here over there they were just charged by police a by yeah by demonstrators now they were they were seen off that position through right through tear gas being used to flash bang grenades and three bottles being produced. but what you have is essentially inside this whole roundabout area there the road to goes around the octu tree and what we've seen is is the police trying to keep everybody you see here and trying to stop anybody else who wants to join the demonstration away from this area we're going to move away from these demonstrators as we saw last of emotions are incredibly high if people are incredibly upset with the rise in fuel prices which brought people out onto the streets thank you very much and how you do it. for we have is ultimately a standoff that's going to. continue for

a little while now while we try and find ourselves a position that's a little safer to speak to you from i spoke to some of these demonstrators and asked them why all they excuse me for some of the language that is being used around me i spoke to some of the demonstrators and asked them why they are here. to be and then i came to protest who because we've had enough there are all sorts of taxes and purchasing power diminishing every day so we have to protest in front of the government and the president elect micron is not credible he wasn't credible even at the time of the election about eighty percent of the population stand by the yellow vest movement that indicates that france faces a huge number of issues we'll do everything to make a manual micron resign it's up to all of you all do out about six thousand people here i find that excessive if it is not a provocation what is it that when you came here were brought to your gas mosques just called breathing. well as you can see in that short period that i was away

from you the situation developing again you can see one of those tear gas canisters now being filled back into the octave triomphe. this is going to be going on for a while he had the main demonstration wasn't supposed to begin here for another two hours here in paris it certainly is well underway already it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere anytime soon as it stands and certainly from where i am to tell you what the situation looks like from where i am there is a large group of the yellow vest demonstrators paned into the area around the arc de triomphe if you come over to my left here we can see the type of this is one of the streets that is clear for water cannon or or tear gas right now this is what faces anybody trying to leave the arc de triomphe right now so this is certainly they're holding demonstrators in this area in the hope that they will dissipate but for now this only looks like it's going on for a long time and. i will repeat the tactics i've seen used by the police e.s.a.

fall unlike any i've seen used across europe i've seen you. excuse me there are many people who said tensions running and emotions running very high everybody seemingly wanting to get involved with the broadcast but we have had a number of people who have been injured through. oh i think this is where you may end up having to leave me i'll be back with you in an hour certainly a very tense situation certainly a very volatile and a very movable situation it's fluid situation that's happening here in paris right now yeah appear maybe get out of the firing line a little bit there because you've been edging a great job all day peter all of our europe correspondent near the to train for those protests nothing happening at let's just stick with a little bit longer here just to keep you more of a sense from this is the scene right really behind the police barricades what they've been dealing with really for the. all morning the last number of weekends

as well these are the scenes at house and white being tense as we are seeing today as peter has been explaining really crowds coming out to obviously it's not a working day it's a weekend so you would have a lot of tourists a lot of people in that area they are trained. seans elisei very famous of course very busy in the run up to christmas it is all being closed off the entire area you cannot walk it is only the protesters who really bottle their way through the bar to kids to get through there to really get a sense of what they are trying to say obviously a lot of anger there the feed has just gone don but we will be going back to parse right throughout the day just to see what is occurring peter all over our europe correspondent with the port maybe just to give you a sense more as to why that was occurring to. french government says fuel taxes

need to remain close to current levels the pay for public services tax is also part of broader efforts to discourage car use on cut carbon emissions brussel based journalist luke reeve a told me yesterday about the high prices are making life difficult for people in both fronts and in belgium where we saw similar scenes on friday. this demonstration editing being cancelled because the organizers school didn'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 hundreds of 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 has come to. pave all levels people very peaceful everywhere with a yellow face 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 and has to pay three hundred three hundred fifty four for petrol or gas as you said american they can't do it anymore dad dying simply and it's the silent majority that pays its taxes normally. more world news this hour leaders of the world's biggest economies are in argentina where they've got a tough time ahead trying to get on the same page contending with trade turbulence and political upheaval we'll get you up to speed and tell you what's ahead on day two of the g. twenty summit. i

. yet from bitter trade wars to challenges to traditional international alliances the leaders of the world's most industrialized economies are struggling to find common ground at the g. twenty summit in origin. 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 won't meet with putin because of the ukraine the us administration made it clear they were trying to send a strong message to russia and they wanted everyone here and boy to feel that the aggression that we witnessed this week is unacceptable and a strong message has been some place. was

a strong message just isolation the isolation. 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. 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 journalist 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. twenty or right after they got here. 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.

than. we touched base with former u.s. congressman ron paul he died stuck trying to tactics towards russia will yield any positive results that sounds like high school stuff i'm not going to talk to you

anymore no 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 undermine you know sometimes by the diplomacy and the way way talks and the aggressiveness i'll do this i'll give you this or op or sanctions on you and threats are involved even even if there's an attempt to correct a policy but. no i don't i don't think that it's good to try to isolate empire nation 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 or soviet system did that they got in the 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 there will be a big problem for united states one of the world leaders prepared to get done to business as a people turned in the argentina and capital to voice their disapproval polish clear witness the demonstrations. this mosque is really the culmination of a week long state and teachy twenty protests what she see here is across the spectrum of people that i am not because they are anti capitalist they are union

with test 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 topic transport has been cancelled flights are being diverted now the argentinean authorities are taking no chances some twenty two thousand police in. security officers have been deployed paullus leader will not only turbulence on the streets but to run the summit table to the leaders have a lot to do on day to this day if they are to agree a joint statement at the end of a week's work among delegates the g twenty whatever comes from the discussions will follow the subsequent news conferences from both presidents putin trump russia's leader will also meet with his german an argentinean counterparts for talks our teacher crosses with our correspondents here and in buenos aires on air and online .

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime stamped this. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the rich eight point six percent markets thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just showed ford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of

politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. just come up to twenty minutes into the program welcome back a wild west parties made more than a few people livid after american actor and comedian kevin hart event for his one year old son's birthday his wife posted several images of the party and instagram showing their friends and family clad in native american inspired tribal print blankets and made 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 a cowboys and 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 kevin hart isn't happy either he says the criticism he's been getting points to some deep problems in modern culture this shows just how stupid i will world is becoming with opinion people are at a point of an all time high to throw race to judgment 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 outfits that are given to these kids a lot of people agreeing with kevin hart as well indeed the reactions we heard ranged from whether the party sends the wrong message to children or if it's just innocent toddlers playing fun and games. 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 india and we can 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 happened is it's

a child who says i like to dress like that because we why i watched 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 believe that that'll zakk what was behind this statue or peel back when behind this giving celebration layby gansey 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 a lot of 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 shoot them air out 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 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 night 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. we're going to go to some programs and just alone but before we go i want to bring you some images of what's happening right now in the french capital we were speaking earlier to our correspondent peter over who is giving us a sense of really the anger the frustration that is going on right now with those so named yellow vest protesters who are up against fuel price hikes tox increases the president mccraw wants to bring in these are the scenes we saw a little bit earlier with police coming out with riot gear around the arc de

a whole lot of times. when we all make this manufactured consensus instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts and the one percent. it's time we can all middle of the room signals. doing the rounds of the real news is. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accept the reject. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to.
