9:02 am
to the program we begin our program this hour in front where thirty six thousand protesters are active this saturday as part of the movement known as the yellow vests on the right the scenes right now these are live pictures in central park you can see it is getting very anxious the there it's really gathering a run the arc de triomphe on the. lead up to the seans only say those streets all are run the area completely and orderly closed off except to protesters and police are seeing rifle also in force hundred arrests or so we believe have been made at this stage officers using smoke unaids tear gas and non live rounds to hold back the increasing me cry it's as you're witnessing right just after three pm in forest these are the yellow vests after which their campaign is named.
9:03 am
was. i. i. they have been numerous incidents of people being hit with rubber bullets our colleague legally shares off the hospital i was hit me on kill with will myself thankfully my boot bearing most of the brunt of that but i'm i'm here just underneath the uk the trio which was the center for all of these clashes on saturday it has been one of the centers the sunday the shuls elisei the centers for these clashes over the last three weeks what we can see written on the self is a message from those demonstrators that were driven from here just less than an hour ago spray painted on the on the trail and it says that the yellow vests will prevail that's my translation of it anyway in my my best terrible french but what
9:04 am
we all seeing at the moment is the police driven most of those yellow vests off the square where the off the trail faced with bullets that does not mean that there's been anything close to to peace breaking out because if we come around this way what you'll first see is this is the this is the seans levy down this way essentially of a ring of steel blocking off the whole street from all. the police making sure nobody can get down there if you come this way down to the avenue friedland where you may be able to hear there's still explosions fireworks all kinds of explosions going off just behind me we've seen tear gas used there. as i was speaking to you tear gas being used incredibly liberally by the parisienne police force on the saturday to try and disperse people it really hasn't worked in all honestly the tactics that have been used by the police up until now seem to have be to move into
9:05 am
towards groups of protesters and then retreated away from that and all that does is it allows them to regroup and then re attack again it does seem that they're trying to change tactics in some way right now there's a lot of police moving around we can see small group of those place just over to my left here getting back into another position. the idea certainly seems to be to contain from the riot police at the moment but those demonstrate is that i spoke to they say they aren't going anywhere and they told me exactly why they've come here this saturday to say no to the rise in fuel prices but also to say no to president's money well my call. to them than just 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 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
9:06 am
france faces a huge number of issues we'll do everything to make a manual micron resigned on the decks it did we are being taxed from all sides we work we study we raise our children now we are overtaxed so stop moving the problem aside. well even the time that that sound by was running we're seeing more room or problem spark up around here is a fire here and set up as a blockade across the. story of one of the streets of a new five and this isn't so it does certainly isn't going anywhere anytime soon and one of the big issues that i am seeing from this whole situation in paris is that it's not just one new kulish there isn't just one group that the police are trying to contain what we are seeing is numerous numerous numerous groups each with equal. intent in order to try and cause trouble that we are seeing them springing up all across the city it's very similar in some ways to what we saw in brussels on
9:07 am
friday only five hundred people were present in brussels and they cause an awful lot of damage and result in the police using water cannon tear gas there we're seeing a very similar scene here in paris right now on saturday many thousands that have been come out here we should have seen many people injured and the demonstrators themselves say hey still committed to the message that they've been committed to for the last three weeks that they want an end to price rises they want an end to the rising cost of living and ultimately what most of them are saying to me they want an end to a crawl in the man who the french president who is in argentina right now and meeting with other world leaders perhaps his attention could well be drawn back here to france or today's actions aren't unique last week the protests in central park turned violent well here's a quick look back at how that played it. i
9:08 am
. don't. and right back to what is happening now we're going to just going to keep the camera here for a little bit longer to give you a sense of what is going on there as darkness approaches the police are fearing i suppose it will get worse as the day progresses the french government for their part they say that fuel taxes need to remain close to current levels to pay for public services the tax issue is also part of broader efforts to discourage car use and cut carbon emissions and while the yellow vests are also making their presence
9:09 am
felt in belgium torching two police vehicles on friday during unrest in the capital brussels based journalist lucrative a.c.s. high prices are making life difficult for people in both countries. this demonstration admission the being cancelled because the organizers school didn't organize the security they said to the police so they had already and they cancelled it and it's only through social media then a few hundreds of people with their atomic 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 france and in a sense but with the same ideas that taxation has come to. papal 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
9:10 am
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 may be met and has to pay three hundred three hundred fifty four for petrol or gas american they can't do it anymore they're dying simply and it's the silent majority that pays its taxes normally. ok we'll leave that developing story in part a move on to another of the weekend's big news stories leaders of the world's biggest economies have gathered in argentina where they're facing the challenge of trying to get on the same page contending with trade turbulence political. well we take a look at the big developments from day one and ahead now is the second and final day of the g. twenty summit gets going. yet
9:11 am
talks now underway all day to world leaders in argentina really trying to find common ground in an ever shifting landscape of trade war strained relations to. is there for us and he reports on the hot button issues being talked about mainly on the sidelines in pointless ari's but on thursday donald trump pulled the breaking news 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 to hear and boy to feel that the aggression that we witnessed this week is unacceptable and a strong message has been some place. was
9:12 am
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 while. putin began his day in addis with the leaders of brazil south africa india and china they got together as brics so there
9:13 am
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. 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.
9:14 am
9:15 am
backfiring on the u.s. . that sounds like high school stuff you know i'm not going to talk to you anymore and on occasion i'll agree with our president but then the way the way talks in aggressiveness i'll do this i'll give you this or op or sanctions on you and threats are involved i don't think that's good 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 and they got in the trouble so i think that if anybody is should be mauled everyone 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
9:16 am
a big problem for united states. paul well while the world leaders were preparing to get down into business thousands of people poured into the streets of stories to voice their frustration polis lior witnessed some of the demonstrations. this mosque is really the culmination of a week long state and teachy twenty protests what you see here now is across the spectrum of people that i am not because they are anti capitalist they are union with us there are students famous you name it people have turned out here and the entire city is in lockdown today has been declared a public holiday and public transport has been cancelled flights are being diverted
9:17 am

9:18 am
they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. have to go right to the press this is what before three of the more people. interested in the war. there should. be the people who run the economy who price money the commodity that runs economy they say it's more are the signs i mean they're just making it up as they go along it means that there is no principles that they are guided by they consider themselves artists because of the impressionists they consider themselves completely subjective in their view of the world that they can simply raise rates and lower rates based on a whim there's nothing guiding them of economic reality there's no school of economics there's no science behind it it's pure whimsy.
9:19 am
ok we start with a story generating a lot of debate stateside wild west party has made more than a few people live it after american doctor comedian kevin hart the theme to fend for his one year old birthday his wife posted several images off the party on instagram showing their friends and family plugged in native american inspired tribal print blankets made many. saying that playing carboy dns is not acceptable anymore cowboys and indians can you not afford a publicist who would explain the reality if such a terrible idea. throw in a cowboys and indians birthday party on thanksgiving celebrates genocide white
9:20 am
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 himself one of america's biggest entertainment stars hit bach he says the criticism he's been getting points to some deep problems and modern culture this shows just how stupid our world is becoming with opinion people are at a point of an all time high to throw racial judgment into the development of a one year old birthday party with the theme is cowboys and indians and it's him it's it's based around the outfits that are given to these young kids yeah a lot of people supporting all people not supporting the. those words because the
9:21 am
reaction we heard really ranged from whether the party sends the wrong message to children or is it just innocent toddlers being 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 whether 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
9:22 am
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 lay began well the legal side a 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 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 your scientists 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 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
9:23 am
is that seemingly grown adults are talking about the racial implications and the appropriation of culture. little kids who want to dress up like indians. ok we're going to a program going underground in moments but first of all i want to bring you back to paros our top story fence are developing there where they so named yellow vest protesters are continuing to vent their fury and. a lot of president must crawl policies fuel price hikes toxic increases what they say they are protesting against these are live pictures right now from the french capital where you're seeing park benches being lifted some of them being thrown and they don't fire as well as making barak hades all of them lots of weapons makeshift weapons being used as well against the police the police
9:24 am
have responded in kind. you can't see much here at the moment because it's full of tear gas on the streets right now and that's why the protesters are wearing those face masks we saw tear gas we sold water cowman at we also saw a rubber bullets being used as well and none live ammunition at the very least if i'm if i have misspoken in that sense we didn't we our correspondents were actually hit in the jaw peter all over who i will be speaking to next hour also kids on the coast but for now let's just leave you with a sense of the streets in parlous where these protests have been going on all day long. donald trump and outs of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like
