international live from austin to. with me nativity to welcome to the program. just hours after the french government announced a total climb down over the fuel tanks increase after weeks of protests that have been fresh demonstrations in paris this time as students took to the streets i'm good at an increase in tuition fees but more details now his shall it depends. well students have come out to protest in the center of paris saying that they're unhappy to read that the prices of the registration fees for foreign students in comparison to local students and they're hoping that he's not that you turned it was announced by the government last night in front over those rises in the few times they will be also able to get to him in their demands and they would also be met basically protest groups now seeing that they can see no blood on this ng structural risk government could possibly give in to some of their demands however

the yellow bash so they happy with what they've been offered so far it seems many on north we've been speaking to some of the other best have been telling us that it's too little she late by the muslim governments. to do so it's a step backwards it shows mccraw and listens to the public only when things like this happen people are angry and the women across the country insults them even policemen are protesting they're also fed up no one listens to them no one gives them opportunities there is no way back to the country needs a new political strategy. while another protest is planned for this saturday by this you. couldn't stand that the government has really hurt their claims and their problems that they are the government is only saying that it's concerned it could be as violent as the previous saturday when the damage totals up through a million numerous there were more than one hundred people injured during those protests in france and also move them to. one hundred people are arrested as

a result of that russia seeing what appears to be a fishing within the french government last night the elisei government and how soon they can sling that increase in the fuel tax just as i was off to the french prime minister had gone to the national assembly to say that it would be suspended for six months there's no suggestion we're hearing from some of the parties from the left here from us that they would like to place an order of new confidence in the government let's take a listen now to alec see if colby yankee's from the party force also moves for this you to join in with the force of the yellow vests was demonstrated the government took a small step back but this is a maneuver who needs to be understood they postponed the decision to raise or not raise taxes for the period after the elections the european parliament however the universe clearly expressed their position they do not want to fuel price hike and they are right and then the problem of the high cost of living itself will not be

solved people have an empty fridge now not after six months. was you lazy almost say they will continue their movement that protest on saturday is still did it take place some suggestion that these protests could go on until the end of the year and we also know that there is no i don't support from these protests now with one police using them saying that it will go on strike on saturday to be honest from the very start we supported the ideas of the universe movement and at some point it became clear that we were not being heard we continue losing our purchasing power police officers like us of us have been affected by the increase in fuel prices we had little choice and we decided to go on strike it seems like the unrest here in france is far from. charlotte even ski artsy. meanwhile leaders of the yellow vest movement haven't yet decided by the protest

planned for the weekend it will go ahead nevertheless as a precaution the authorities are closing the eiffel tower along with dozens of museums on saturday political analyst nicola. the french government is fully in control of the situation. they're definitely panicking they don't know what to do at the size of these protests which are going across france what it whether it be in europe or even on the other french is humongous and they haven't seen it coming they should have seen it because we have had not a single showing that this was coming out they didn't see it and now they're panicking and they don't know what to do that's that's a legacy in france you have to get violent if you want things change so that they do this is also of course giving a positive message out people think that bringing out more of the out of bounds is going to change even more but so yes there will be more violence and also i do think that as the current government is extremely clumsy they're trying to build on this violence to show that it is a violent movement and that's not working we've seen these past days mainstream media showing only videos pictures of the violence and unrest in major french

cities when ninety percent of these demonstrations across france are nonviolence. meanwhile you know best protests have gone beyond france's borders and to other continents. second us president lending lorraine now has revealed the u.k. government provided sufficient guarantees for wiki leaks founder julian assange to

leave ecuador's embassy in london. reports from london. lenin miranda did a radio interview where he said that the british government has provided a guarantee in writing that julian assange should be safe to leave the ecuadorian embassy here in london and that he wouldn't be in danger of being extradited by the british authorities to any third country where he could potentially face the death penalty so as a headline this all sounds like jolly good news for julian assange but it's important to remember that the ecuadorian president isn't exactly julian a songes biggest fan lenin miranda has referred to the wiki leaks editor as a hacker in the past he said in the interview today that he's fed up with him occupying his tiny embassy here in london but he did concede that you have to respect julian assange just human rights and that he has done his fresh air of time

he has after all spent more than six years holed up in ecuador's embassy here in london it will be interesting to hear what a songes legal team have to say about all this now because the big concern especially for a songes lawyer is and it's a concern that they've had for the past six years that he spent in the embassy is the prospect of facing charges over in the u.s. criminal charges in fact last month it was revealed that the u.s. justice department had filed secret criminal charges against julian a songe but prosecutors have refused to reveal what specifically those charges are so however much the ecuadorian president wants to walk out it's really simple on the one hand yes whatever the case against a songe in sweden was has long since expired and collapsed but technically

a songe is still wanted by british authorities here in the u.k. for skipping bail and with prosecutor. in the u.s. unable to shed any light on what sorts of charges could be facing over in the u.s. my hunch is that a songes legal team is going to be extra cautious regardless of what a songes exasperated hosts claim the british government has guaranteed so i don't think this is a very yet. the chief financial officer and daughter of the founder of chinese based smartphone giant weiwei has been arrested by canadian authorities she's now facing extradition to the u.s. over alleged violation of sanctions on iran the meat threatens to reignite a trade war between washington and beijing which had shown signs of easing chemical pain has more details while on december first when it was announced that

a truce had been reached between president xi of china and president trump after their meeting in argentina there was an uptick on the global market people were optimistic however now with the news that has come out about the c.f.o. of way being arrested in canada it's been widely alleged that this c.f.o. of the corporation has been involved somehow in violating the sanctions against iran however no no formal charges have been leveled as of yet the news that caused just huge amount of uproar we're now seeing the stock market plunging to a two year low and at this point now we're seeing a rather swift and strong response from china. we demanded an explanation for the detention and the person's immediate release detention without providing any explanation violates the human rights of the detainee when trouble announced that he had reached an agreement with president xi at the g twenty there was optimism

but then when he followed up that tweet by reminding president xi that if a deal didn't work out too that he is it. taraf man when that happened then there was another plunge in the markets now this is what lawrence kudlow of the white house economic council has has come forward and said i think it's coming ok and i don't carry into all this what give us some details well it hasn't been signed and sealed and delivered yet the mixed signals regarding u.s. china trade relations and the many different statements that have been made in the news of this arrest have caused a bit of a roller coaster on the u.s. stock market this is been the reaction from a representative of deutsche bank we believe this is a clear signal that the drug war is escalating to a new level public opinion in china will likely become more negative in respect to the trade war and potentially against u.s. companies the government may find it difficult to tell the public that they have offered significant concessions to the u.s.

demand the global head of currency strategy and market he says to act thanks t.m. believes times twenty two raids against china send shock waves across the stock markets that's what's it feeds the now being watched as closely on the dashboards as economic data on traditional economic my career leases which is very commonly being watched on my laptop as closely as anything i was financial markets are very sensitive to such issues and this is something that you cannot predict you cannot predict what could come across a social media feeds next you can predict what could happen with political risk around the united states and china which is why financial markets are so sensitive and choppy so any change in narrative if we see tonight or over the next couple of days more positive and see around the tree trimmers that relations are improve and then this months of over verse once again however if we see the same soon for that's a cool tension some hope it's a caress than what we've seen today and yesterday is going to prolong it even

further. meanwhile. opposed to in anticipation headed there. next move on to after the group of some of the world's biggest oil producing nations agreed to a cut in production although they haven't yet agreed by how much the move which is hoped it will stabilize falling prices was agreed today at a meeting of the group along with russia the decision flies in the face of comments made by donald trump who expressed hope the flow of oil would remain as it was he said any supply cut is not what the world wants to see however the u.s. president's recommendations and didn't go down well with the saudi energy minister when asked to comment on jobs call he said the u.s. is not in a position to tell opec all saudi arabia what to do a man's energy minister confirm the size of the cut will be decided on friday during the day do you recommend a part. of us but we don't need to rebuild schools in america number two years

early work you do recommend you to do recover because we will be. able to do all that we can give him any moral enough to. hope that you will discuss before the. much anticipated opec meeting comes at the time when oil prices have plummeted around thirty percent over the last two months almost equalling the worst fall since the two thousand and eight financial crisis there's been added interest after qatar announced it was quitting the organization becoming the first gulf country to leave the block president of oil associates. believes opec has no plans for significant cuts. opec and non opec producers are going to look to do what's in their own interest especially since oil prices fall in nearly thirty three percent since early october and of course the u.s.

is contributing a significant amount of increased production through this shale revolution but on the other hand the market is concerned about what's happening in venezuela that continues to see production deteriorate so what i do think opec is going to try to do is maybe try to finesse the situation and announce a cut that looks like there's still a significant amount of oil on the market but in reality they cut a little bit more than president trump would like. washington's threat to pull out of a key nuclear treaty with moscow has deepened the rift between the two sides with the u.s. accusing russia of noncompliance but the american administration is also going further is questioning the relevance of other international agreements and organizations as aunties when it comes to ethics planes. it is time for change time for the old ways to die for a new undisputed leader

a new american world order our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform the liberal international order the central question that we face is that is the question of whether the system as currently configured as it exists today and as the world exists today doesn't work does it work for all the people of the world the old ways are out of date united nations is useless incompetent the i.m.f. is obsolete european union pointless all these international organizations unions treaties and agreements the only hinder america a tie its hands and cripple its power the logic is sound when we all be better off if we just had america rule american tends to lead now and always the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty russia is violating it says america others are bound by it it holds limits limits the united

states and washington's policy requires it seems more nukes big nukes foster nukes one country in the world is bound by the i.n.f. treaty us china is not bound by iran has an extensive b.m. capability but we have global responsibilities in asia and the middle east we have to be responsive to their terms international democracy has failed alliances have failed asians cannot tell right from wrong everyone wants a say but why let them they no longer know what's good for them america is good for them this is what president trump is doing he is. turning the united states to its traditional central leadership role in the world and so it seems we enter

a new age in age where might makes right without all the fluff and lip service to partnerships and equality the old world order is dead welcome to a new american age. assigned in the final years of the cold war production of short and medium range nuclear missiles are prohibited under the pac but the u.s. claims russia is producing missiles in violation of the agreement and moscow says washington is threatening its security with bases and missiles located in eastern europe former u.k. army officer charles schumer bridge gave us his take on the current situation. you've got the situation here where nato seems to be advocating one position on the part in support of the u.s. at the moment but many of its member states are not just privately but publicly raise their concern that this is part of the arms control mechanism breaking down and that this will of course hold in

a new arms race of course the united states isn't just looking at europe it's looking i'll swear in the world and that i suspect is the key to the american decision making here is as indeed the russian government has indicated that they are looking more at countries such as china iran possibly that are developing such systems that already have systems in place that would be bad for america and russia to have because of the limitations on the range. property developer in the u.k. has provoked something of a storm over a brochure for one of his new projects images of the planned housing development in london and a neighboring mosque airbrushed out and a situ has the details we are in hornsey north london mostly residential area about forty five minutes away from central london why not consider moving to a nice newly built high rise here.

take note though if you look this one up on line it would miss the building right next to it this mosque which is obviously right here in reality the property developer has been accused of a slum a phobia after apparently airbrushing the mosque. out of its marketing photos the dome and the minarets are gone instead replaced with a row of trees in the building is nowhere to be seen what do locals make of all this let's find out there's no mosque in the pictures in the marketing photos so people have been complaining about it a little bit what do you make of it you can't miss the malls if it's not in the picture it's been left out of the previous and there it will be just about to put it in a big part of the. first it's obvious that it's actually doesn't know not to take so i know how things work and people who see it in the way i mean them people . don't need to be visible like. you know would you be offended or you wouldn't be offended. by if you were

a user of the local mosque you might be offended yeah it does upset mean people should be inclusive you shouldn't you should give the site as it is so that people really know where the belong and what they are getting in for so why would you to move them are going to temple or church what does that mean that you're trying to so you want to make it look. so not everyone is going to like a mosque while if you were shopping for an apartment mosque scare you or me personally know various people well some were offended by the doctored images others start it wasn't a big deal the mosque spokesperson said the apparent photoshop is nothing to worry about when we first saw the photo we were concerned the mosque had been hidden because they realized it was a marketing tool the developer of the building has reportedly said the images used are computer generated to create a visual representation of how the development will look to us they said they won't comment so whether it was

a deliberate move or just an innocent marketing tool could be anyone's guess reporting from london and as they see it with our two. peace talks on the yemeni crisis are taking place in sweden on thursday the meetings ten thirty four years of war spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross peter moore he says both humanitarian and political measures should be taken to resolve the situation. at the present moment and with talks in sweden we do hope that we manage and the international community manages to draw a pathway to or more peaceful revolution in yemen what is certainly true is that humanitarians by their own cannot fix the situation in which yemenis to be disease one of the most dire humanitarian situation we have seen people have been dying not only from the direct attacks and the direct impact of war but in

particular also from the destruction of infrastructure from the destruction of hospitals of water systems think this is indeed a very dire situation which can only be fixed if a political solution is found and there is a slight. a light at the end of the tunnel maybe with peace talks going on in sweden. but yemen is in the only country in the region suffering a humanitarian catastrophe in syria over thirteen million people are in need with six million internally displaced and in afghanistan the u.n. says over six million people are in need a third of them are children red cross president peter moore again says the organization is doing what it can in both countries. priorities in syria definitely . have access to as many people displaced within syria tool support. as ever we can to deliver

a basic human need here in assistance in terms of water or health services services. many within syria are still displaced and we tried to contribute to destabilise ation of. our largest operation worldwide where we are active in the whole of the country in all the provinces we have more than eleven outfits in afghanistan we are responding to people displaced we are responding to populations in need in all parts of the stand we have been worried over the last couple of years to see how much the civilian population but not only the civilian population also militaries are exposed to enormous amounts of casualties we see people. really heavily affected and the i.c.r.c. has one of the most multifaceted humanitarian the response program in

afghanistan which we try to continue in the future. a guidebook for kindergartens in germany about how to tackle right wing sentiment has provoked the wrath of parents they claim it only encourages children to spy on them it takes up the story it's the season of goodwill. to have the. right there are thought. through phones in checking emails. until racism. received around four hundred fifty hate calls in the first twenty eight hours threatening things like terrorist attacks we haven't counted the exact number of e-mail. but it was around five hundred so what is this all about the organization with the blessing from the german government has produced a brochure for kindergarten teachers and parents designed to tackle right ideology

what to do if a child draws swastikas in class and says they do this at home what to do if its teacher is active on the far right see these are the types of situations and suggestions on how to deal with them addressed in the sixteen page guide why all the hate against it some of the information has rankled to say the least with far right blogs as well as mainstream conservatives a scenario as described where a kindergarten how to deal with children of parents involved with the far right the go away is dresses in braids and the boy faces physical challenges and takes part in drills so what advice do you think was given to kindergarten stuff have a face to face with the parents it should be made clear to what extent all thora tarion in gender stereotypes are renting styles limit the many possibilities of children and complicate their development some were rattled by the advice quiting the wearing of dresses and braids with membership of the far right i find it

unbelievable that a taxpayer funded brochure identifies girls wearing braids and clothes as potentially nationalist the family minister should have his booklet recalled and revised as soon as possible the anti immigration alternative for germany party seized on the backlash accusing me and geo of promoting secret police methods the ngo denied the allegations saying it didn't mean to cast a shadow on how kids interest and also added that the brochure was well received by professionals this is based on true cases transform long term counseling work which teachers have asked for help dealing with nationalist families on doubted leave the organization behind this brochure and the german family ministry the best of intentions here however in a country where most. people still remember the g.d.r. asking teachers to look out for political motivations could prove problematic.

a university campus in the u.s. has been plagued by a string of racist notes being sent to students but it transpired that one of the recipients was also the author. we've decided that we no longer want you on our campus which means you need to leave. we're scared it was terrifying the students were scared. we just want to make sure the truth is we practice those every single day. to deal with these things when they have. to see their still i want to know there's a little. people

make these stories up they take the voice away from true victims it's a waste of resources it's a waste of energy and it's definitely a waste of human emotion in the community an eighteen year old drink university student was found to be behind four of the racist notes including one that she sent to herself it's unclear who wrote the fifth. but police are investigating a student who sent the hoax letter to faces up to a year in jail we spoke to t.v. and radio host john elliott and she says she is probably just an attention seeker. we see copycat crimes all the time my background of course is in human behavior and human development and a lot of times one of the fears whenever a crime happens well i can imagine a couple of different motives would have been possible i would think that maybe for attention a lot of people do a lot of previous.
