go on this wednesday welcome to your new. protests to be held for a fourth consecutive. and what they are describing for insurrection despite the prime minister. and suspending the hike in fuel prices. this report. this is one of the main battle grounds all the weeks of protests over the fuel tax rise that seem belly up to the whole country. cars and buildings burned shops smashed and mutates and some of the most iconic monuments same tyrus crashed. the number of injured

keeps rising. you would have to be deaf not to hear the wrath of the french people said the prime minister and it seems the government has heard the cries of the yellow vests to some degree this response and suspending these tax measures to six months with no tax should put the unity of the nation in danger these concessions come even though just last week president michel was adamant that he wouldn't capitulate to the voice of the street but it does not distinguish between fellow citizens and the. i will not concede anything to those who want destruction and disorder but now the government has given in to some of the demands of the protesters the yellow vests have tasted blood and are now hungry for more. we won't settle for grownups we will get the

protests have come a time when mcewan's popularity has been so i ding down a slippery slope and hitting a new all time low we're not going to send it off place eighteen months ago he promised to save reforms from the pension system to the working code and that he wouldn't relent from getting the job done no matter how unpopular it proved to be my reform agenda is to modernize the country and we will pursue this modernization agenda and and a chance. that you will back down no chance his tenure as president has already seen one spring protests but until now he has launched ignored them refusing to change course the concessions being offered to the yellow vests show that he's willing to drop his uncompromising stance when it seems the violence spirals out of control so that you can ski on t.

harris a member of the french national assembly. says six months is a very convenient length of time to suspend the fuel price hike. should reveal he went live on if they're taking the french people for fools they want to gain some time to subdue the beast before the european parliamentary elections out this is their thing that the n.h.s. won't see that they're trying to gain time so they won't see in any case to the government or risk of entering into conflict with the e.u. will be obliged to recuperate the tax money by implementing the phrases used it sounds like they're mocking everybody it is in some sense the same as telling us that will be deceived and that be about it we're talking about french democracy it doesn't exist there is no parliament there is a disciplined or thorough terry majority that does whatever the president says we see yellow vest protesters are already being sentenced in court with one man in the city of non-si determined to appeal his guilty verdict during

a protest he streamed his exchange with police live on social media he says the video clearly shows he did not commit the crimes he was accused of is his story but . what. more can i presume you're saying i should be detained they ordered me to turn around so i did but didn't think they would beat me and i thought they would just push me against the wall now you can see the placement here he's beating me i was hit twice in my ribs there were i explained i was just filming nothing else and was there for just about fifteen minutes one place one had his knees in my back the other one held my legs down and the third put my head to the ground with his knee.

they didn't really let me just speak although they gave me a lawyer parachute to me was like i was already a criminal like i wrote just or tried to explain everything that they prefer. to trust their colleagues and norse or regular citizens like me certainly is accused of story police and remaining in the crowd despite two orders to leave his argument that he couldn't have thrown the stones as he was busy filming was dismissed as the court ruled the video contains. a date. with. the u.s. secretary of state has given moscow an ultimatum over its alleged violations of a key nuclear missile treaty by pompei o says russia has two months to show its complying with the i.m.f. before washington pulls out. in the light of these facts the united states today declares it has found russia in material breach of the treaty and will suspend our

obligations as a remedy effective in sixty days unless russia returns to fall and verifiable compliance so russia no possible last chance to come back into compliance with the idea of cheating but we must also stop to prepare for a world without that treaty moscow has had back of the allegation is violating the treaty with russia's ministry of foreign affairs calling it groundless need i do you because i just when our effort has been presented to us present if such evidence has been shown by the american side why they hide to have them russia. is tearing up with iran after treaty. is raised in connection with the document. russia also has its own grievances claiming that the u.s. missile defense systems in europe installed to counter rogue states like iran and

north korea could easily be used offensively against russia while the two sides have clashed over this nuclear treaty before. the arms race is getting out of control. we did not initiate this turn of events as you know it was not we pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed been developing a stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations we only responded to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were mean and we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have. if our american partners exit the agreement we will give an immediate and reciprocal response in the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was signed over thirty years ago it bans short and medium range nuclear weapons the production of missiles

on flight tests are prohibited under the agreement and washington's possible withdrawal from the treaty has left some european allies a bit on happy. we hadn't given that one we regret the withdrawal announced by the us we see this treaty as a very important control instrument and something that also serves european interests and therefore also interests the announcement by the us that is going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been important pillar of our european security architecture for thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the us to consider the possible consequences if u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. to ensure its cool and very shy of an implementation which of

course is crucial for europe's and global security i think it's quite likely the us will pull out of this treaty i think the at the end of the story that just are finished and my fear were guarding the europeans and how it will affect our relationship with them is they simply do not have the courage or the the strength of character to say to the americans no this is bad for us this is bad for europe this in danger is our security we won't go along with this whatever trumps impulses might be to either have an agreement with the russians and as well as with the chinese to have a better relationship that he has a national security team that is income entirely composed of the wrong people and what they want to do is to put russia into an untenable security position and this is simply one more iraq they can throw at moscow and they don't really care with a consequence as our that is what my fear is here. a group of political artists in the german city of camden as cold on the public to name right wingers who took part

in anti immigrant protests earlier this year the pictures of some seven thousand demonstrators have been uploaded to its website at the office of the group was recently shut down by police as peter all of a now reports from berlin. hunting season is open for the cold problem germans people who attended fall right on to migrant demonstrations in chemists following two migrants being charged for the fatal stabbing of a german man in the city. i. were the hunt has been organized by an collective pushing their message haunt. me once and a signal we've seen you and it was it's a mistake it's not ok with us what you've done to our town or our country it's an all sorts of the general public to deal with offenders and also know if it's a management to recognize the supporters of right wing violence the room ploy to in

their own companies and to take action against them the group called the center for political beauty isn't messing about with their name and shame campaign on their website there's a section called the mentally ill catalog that contains seven thousand images of people who follow rice on tea migrants demonstrations the picture at pay is alongside a barometer denoting how far right they are deemed to be from soldier to hitler and greta now the public are also encouraged to upload their own pictures and in fact it being offered cash rewards for identifying the only gallery that doesn't already have a name and employers have also been asked to check the list to see if anybody they employ is that police have said that the project could fall foul of germany's strict privacy laws as well as copyright infringement while the data protection commission has said that he will be looking in to the campaign while activists have

said that this actually diminishes understanding of the real dangers posed by the extreme right i asked people in lynn if they agreed with the campaign to inform or if they thought this whole thing was well a little bit silly. police. is tricky one and you have to ask if people give their consent if not this shouldn't be posted on the other hand the people are going to someone's face and they're also doing it like publicly so it's quite common to do would be recognized there is a new money goes up to something odd probably have a quiet word to them ourself rather than. name and shame you know i'm. quite. there quite sensitive on accounts of personal data especially when it comes to determine history whatever your opinion about far right radicals this idea isn't good to identify people like this isn't the correct way to handle the problem it is

a fire that there were people from the extreme right those came with the demos some were giving straight arm salutes a symbol that is bound by law here in germany however it does seem though that people aren't too happy with this group taking on a job that really should be worn for more in force and peter all of a. professor parts of the technical university of dresden says attacking political opponents is absolutely fine but not when it's done the way these activists are doing it. this is doing serious things in a very un serious way. attacking political opponents is fine this action will seat right in populists who are now with some right can claim their say or are treated unfairly by their opponents and fearful or at least whole initiative will end up with getting the opposite of what they were

looking for. the danish government has announced controversial plans to send some migrants to an asylum center due to be built on an island. if one isn't wanted indeed a society one cannot be a burden for ordinary danish people that's why those who are deported because of crimes will get a new address that means we'll send them to the uninhabited island off when home they're not wanted in denmark and they should feel it the center right government backs the plan announced by the danish immigration minister the rightwing danish people's party posted a video on twitter praising the decision it depicts a man with a middle eastern appearance who was left abandoned on a small island nowlin home island is located around a kilometer from the mainland is not far from the capital copenhagen and the only infrastructure there at present is a research center into contagious diseases some stables on and on them old crime

a story of the government plans to spend one hundred fifteen million dollars on building an asylum center that by twenty twenty one however the island won't be for everyone only certain groups of migrants will be sent those with visas that allow only very restricted movement around the country and certain types of criminal including war criminals and people who pose a threat to state security they would be required to report to the island center daily on pain of in prison. so we put it up for debate here on r t with political activist george bada and media commentator neil wallis we're asking them basically do you think this island is a good idea. a so-called center right party you know getting into bed with the far right party and allowing them the opportunity to you know put these horrible racist cartoons out there i think just fuels the flames of this kind of divide and rule where more and more the social problems in european countries are being blamed on

you know muslims generally and it's not just somebody of middle eastern appearance in this cartoon it's somebody you know specifically as a muslim the reason this government has done this. in denmark is because that's what people want and the people of denmark are fed up with people like. george telling them how they should think what they should think and who they should welcoming to that country when essentially it comes down to this i mean you know a few jump lawyer is telling the majority of people in the country. no we metropolitan. city know better than you do this isn't just a few lawyers saying this this is virtually all the progressive parties and i think it's rich finial well it's to talk about people like me telling people what to think and when he worked for a very very long time for them out of that many people. that have a sort of progressive politics as i see it recognize to be have been

a huge part of creating this incredibly divided society in the first place where where the spectacular concentration wasn't wealth. being really being used quite that clearly and i. preferred the bodies really that. god told them the reason we finished my family and i let you all simply to chant endless cliches about multinational is what does. no take away those basic things people are unhappy and that's why they smoke and it's an elected government that has done this where about seventeen million refugees at the moment and we're headed towards about two hundred million by mid century and it is a tragedy where increasingly you're criminalizing people who have fled very very difficult circumstances and just want to decent life this is not a solution to the problem of immigration to demonize muslims are just around the corner here one of the international afghanistan says it's ready for peace talks

with the taliban with no strings a touch of a live report with putting the question of just. seemed wrong. but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know world is a big part of movies. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to

be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. twelve twenty pm here in moscow the afghan government says it is ready for talks with the taliban without any preconditions kabul says even ready to discuss possible changes to the constitution let's cross live now to all of these but in a question about joining us even more details on this but the emphasis possibly mean that peace talks could in fact be imminent. while yes everything is

pointing at this very dire action as we've heard the statement coming from a high ranking government official right after the conference on the peace negotiations in afghanistan took place here in moscow and it was a voice that afghanistan will not set out any preconditions for direct talks with the taliban including drafting a new constitution which previously used to be quite a stumbling block. now adays we the government and the high peace council declared that there are no prerequisites for the launch of the talks. high peace council or h.b.c. is the charge of peace talks with the taliban it was sent back in twenty and previously a kabul demanded to start any peace negotiations the taliban should first lay down its arms and respect the constitution but it does seem that things have changed and now afghanistan at the moment is calling for all international players including

russia and the u.s. to support the ongoing peace negotiations now the taliban has long rejected afghanistan's holds for any talks they didn't even attend the two day conference that was held on afghanistan in geneva and was co-hosted by the afghan government and the united nations however the taliban send representatives to meet with the afghan government officials during a meeting that was held here in moscow and of that meeting a mark the first time the taliban i had publicly appeared on international airiness since two thousand and one so it does seem that that meeting did help to allay ground for possible future dialogue between bull and the taliban and at the moment there is really a lot of diplomatic activity going on in and around afghanistan now the next meeting on afghanistan peace negotiations will take place very soon it is to happen

here in moscow on friday between russian and u.s. representatives. within a culture that live in central moscow thank you. a court in the netherlands has rejected a sixty nine year old man's request to legally. doing so would set a dangerous precedent. the main reason is that h. requirements in the law gives rights and duties to people for instance to rights to throat or the duty to attend school and if those requirements wouldn't count if you could change your date of birth. that would become meaningless a meal and the man who wants to change years age describes himself as a young god he's father of seven and even promised to give up his pension if indeed the dutch court would approve his request he also things that being legally younger

will help him get more work and more matches on dating websites so we spoke to him ourselves. two years goal my doctor told me your biological age is around forty forty two years young i said but how is that possible so he actually could be because of the blocks and about the nurse and about. the brain we as human beings we have to change and so the state and the government has to change also they have to end docs and to realize that people nowadays have of free will and that more consciousness about all those things will happen and that's the meaning of me or has given us many many reasons so we can think now at the same time we have lost the battle where we are going to win the war never give up if there is a way if there is no one i will create my own way. that's the program for this hour here on ars the international there are many more of your worldwide headlines we were turn at the top of the hour.

yemen and the politics of denial and deceit the trumping ministrations continued support of the saudi led war is morally indefensible and strategically counterproductive blaming iran for the humanitarian crisis in yemen only ensures more suffering this time to end this senseless conflict. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

time say we're going underground as the british government continues to face a legal constitutional electoral an existential threat over breaks that's coming up on the show as the british royal navy reportedly find choosing weapon systems to shoot down russian planes we speak to a journalist on the ground about allegations of nato backed ukrainian drone attacks on civilians and go out and get your copy will trump endorses a new book about the state of new liberal politics we speak to its author. you know loudon last night in terms of journalism here the full details of this week's top stories on the bike and you told us more coming up in today's going on the ground

the first in the james bond franchise him is see and here he is popping up at his old university served with him and kate i urge russia or any other state intent on subverting all way of life not to underestimate our determination i want people who would never have thought of joining in my six enjoying my six that presumably includes if you're an i says die as right now but his recruitment drive comes as more about the british government's psyops campaign against russia emerged on the heels of this from anonymous greetings we are the unanimous charity also known as the collective. we have obtained a large number of documents relating to the activities of the integrity initiative project that was launched back in the fall of two thousand and fifteen and funded by the british government thanks to this program questions will now be asked in britain's parliament about the revelations it's completely inappropriate on acceptable for the government to be funding something like that if that's true well

i will be certainly making inquiries in palm enter procedures to see whether we can pick some of this stuff because i do think you know the pope has a right to know what is the government doing going about this sort of activity that interview which went on to the subject of poverty in britain a christmas would lead to former disgraced u.k. and secretary of a rather secular state welfare and pensions tweeting against this program more on that later in this show but suffice to say she trashed the official report in the u.k. extreme poverty by the united nations the effects of near liberalism in britain though haven't resulted in what we've seen in the past few days in paris there were widespread riots in paris on saturday as around seventy five thousand yellow vests demonstrators across the country protested over fuel prices and the cost of living the french capital suffered the worst on rest for more than a decade with tear gas emblematic of the continuing fallout of the western economic crisis external enemies could be a solution for each elite nowhere more so.
