seems many all know what we've been speaking to some of the other that's been telling us that it's too little shoe late by the muslim governments. 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 the government is only saying that it is concerned it could be. as violent as the previous saturday when the damage totals up to forty million numerous there were more than one hundred people in doing those protests in france and also move the one hundred people arrested as
4:05 pm
a result of that russia seeing what appears to be a fishing within the french government last night the elisei government and help see the canceling that increase in the fuel tax just 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 for 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 on to for this shit is gonna do with the force of the yellow vests was demonstrated the government took a small step back but this is a maneuver he 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 a 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
4:06 pm
months. what is your lazy on say they will continue their movement that protest on saturday is still due to take place and some suggestion that these protests could go on until the end of the year and we also know that there is no why disapproval from these protests now with one police union saying that it will go on strike on saturday to be honest reduction 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 or police officers like us this have been affected by the increase in fuel prices we had little choice when we decided to go on strike it seems like the unrest here in france. is far from. charlotte you can ski out sea ice. as a precaution the authorities are still closing off the eiffel tower saturday along with dozens of museums after tourist hot spots including the detail for vandalized
4:07 pm
by demonstrators last week however medical analysts call it medical which things the government is not fully in control of the situation. very definitely and it can be 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 island 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 best 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 getting a positive message out if people think that bringing out more about this is going to change even more so yes there will be more violence and also i do think that as the government is extremely promising 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 ties 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 nonviolent.

assange to leave ecuador's embassy in london polyploid reports. 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
4:10 pm
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 assange 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.
4:11 pm
for skipping bail and with prosecuting. in the u.s. and mabel 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 songes exasperated hosts claim the british government has guaranteed so i don't think this is a very. human rights activists time till believes the even if his son's life is not under threat he could still face up to fifty years in prison in the united states. certainly true that the british government would not extradite drew the sons to a third country where he could face the death penalty. and you know maybe the u.s. government might some point give assurances that he won't face the death penalty
4:12 pm
but so far the u.s. government has not given those assurances and even if they do that would not preclude him facing charges which could land him in prison for thirty to fifty years and that is of most would be a most just punishment for person an organization that he is part of who simply published published information which also have been in the public from the get go . the chief financial officer and daughter of the founder of chinese based smartphone giant away has been arrested by canadian authorities he's now facing extradition to the u.s. over alleged violation of sanctions on iran the man threatens to reignite a trying to war between washington and beijing which had shown signs of easing kenneth to the 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 before
4:13 pm
optimistic however now with the news that has come out about the c.f.o. of he alway 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 a 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. the person's immediate release detention without providing any explanation violates the human rights of the detainee when trial but 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
4:14 pm
a deal didn't work out too that he is a quote tariff 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 want harry to tell us 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 nanny 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. . camille ahmad the global head of currency strategy and market research at f.x. t.m. believes times twenty two raids against china essential quaids across the stock markets
4:15 pm
that's what's a feeds are 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 else financial markets are very sensitive to such issues and this is something that you cannot predict you cannot predict what could come across as social media feeds next you can't predict what could happen with political risk around the united states and china which is why financial markets are so sensitive and choppy to any change in narrative if we see tonight or over the next couple of days more positive it's the around the trade truce that relations are improved and then this months of over verse once again however if we see the same super 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. as u.s. china trade tension send shock waves across european markets the e.u.

4:17 pm
at least that is if. we will work to maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen deal in spite of the american decision and we will do so in a concrete manner by maintaining our political engagements by ensuring that our companies can stay in iran and also by getting all parties to pursue negotiations for a larger indispensable deal steve king crowd funded professor of economics on patry and believes china's recent behavior on the international arena makes america a tough partner to work with. the recent road behavior by america because it got far worse than it was beforehand i think is convincing a lot of countries they simply can no longer a lock on the american dollar for international trade you have the most with being told not to allow iranian bank accounts to use swift now you have the chinese citizen being arrested in the candidates of violating an american sanction all this
4:18 pm
sort of action is going to say we have to find another foundation apart from the american dollar for international trade and find it quickly and even though the euro is incredibly flawed at the moment it's the strongest alternative currency the main reason american manufacturing is not competitive as goes the dollar is massively over the al you'd also be to watch what should be deceiving international reserve currency so to be in the interests to say spending the answer is a currency but there's so addicted to palla that they're going to probably in force try to enforce that power and well they'll just dropped any attempt to use any currency other than the american dollar tried meanwhile world markets up poised in anticipation ahead of opec's next move to the group of some of the world's biggest oil producing nations agree to a cut in production although they haven't yet agreed by how much the move which is hoped will stabilize fooling prices was agreed today at a meeting of the group along with russia the decision flies in the face of comments
4:19 pm
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 say however the u.s. president's recommendations didn't go down well with. and minister when asked to comment on china's coal he said the u.s. is not in a position to tell opec or saudi arabia what to do a monza energy minister confirmed the size of the cut will be decided on friday. do you think do you recommend it because it is a part of us but we don't we have an exclusionary number look here let's hear it in the work of the sago mine would you recommend you did you recover because we all do you know if you want to be able to do. recommit to me and to morrow enough to. put you through we'll discuss the fun of it. the much anticipated opec
4:20 pm
meeting comes at a time when oil prices have plummeted around thirty percent in two months almost equalling the worst for since the two thousand and eight financial crisis has been added interest after qatar announced it was quitting the organization becoming the first gulf country to leave the block financial expert alexander cutter gave us his thoughts on their picks plan to cut in all production he says relations between the u.s. and iran have been a key determinant of prices. trump tries to do this pretty sure and try to influence the decision of coke but we have to remember that reversed its policy. earlier this year because donald trump feared that there would be a disruption of supply follow india do we draw all of the united states from the iran nuclear deal so it kind of ironic all that. comes.
4:21 pm
to influence these decisions not to do good this extra supply of oil that had been put on the market while at the same time you see a record that exports of crude oil from the us. three point five million barrels per day i think so basically there is a fundamental contradiction between what. is. actually the american oil industry does. clashes have erupted across greece on the tenth anniversary of the killing of a teenager by police. in a city. or some of the worst violence demonstrators that fire bombs and stones at police who responded with tear gas rubbish bins were also set on fire in the streets back in two thousand and eight
4:22 pm
a policeman shot that fifteen year old enough to three an argument with a group of teenagers he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison another police present was given ten years despite that demonstrations are held and really across the country and often result in violent clashes. washington's threat to pull out of a key nuclear treaty with moscow is deepen the rift between the two sides with the u.s. accusing russia of noncompliance but the american administration is also doing further its questioning the relevance of other international agreements and organizations as artie's board explains. 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
4:23 pm
question of whether the system as currently configured as it exists today and as the world is this 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 they only hinder america they tie its hands and cripple its power the logic is sound wouldn't 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 aren't bound by it it holds limits limits the united states and washington's policy requires it seems more nukes big nukes foster
4:24 pm
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 that 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
4:25 pm
a new american age. after eighteen was signed in the final years of the cold war production of short and medium range nuclear missiles are prohibited under the pact 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 super-rich gave his take on the current situation. you've got the situation here where nato seems to be advocating one position on par on the part in support of the u.s. at the moment but many of its member states have not just privately but publicly raised 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 elsewhere in the world and that i suspect is the key to what the american decision making here is as indeed the russian government has indicated that they're
4:26 pm
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 its new projects images of the planned housing development in london a neighboring mosque airbrushed out and the sea a joke now 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
4:27 pm
developer has been accused of a slum a phobia after parents 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 most. in the picture it's been left out of the previous and there it will be just forgot to put it in a big part of the. first it's obvious that it's a bunch who doesn't know not to take so i know how things work and people i mean them people. don't need to be visual like. you know would you be offended by i wouldn't be offended. by you matching if you were a user of the local mosque you'd not be offended yeah it does upset mean people should be inclusive we shouldn't even give the site as it is so that people will
4:28 pm
know where they belong and what they are getting in for so why would you to move a mosque but a 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 off you personally know various people there were well some were offended by the doctored images others start it wasn't a big deal the mosque spokesperson said the apparent photo shop is nothing to worry about when we first saw the photo. concern the mosque had been hidden to quickly realize there 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 with our. pace to crisis are
