of registering in delaware for example. but that's up in a second second if we can i'm going to sign off now and all pick this up in another segment and thank you for being on this segment my pleasure thank you and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser station i would like to thank our guests the long bitcoin entrepreneur visionary if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report and so next time. i. watch his clash with the french police in fresh mass protests follows the government's decision to accept the. demonstrators. also coming up

president says britain has provided sufficient guarantees. to safely leave their embassy in london. and events if you re also one of the boss who's of the country's telecoms jaunt was arrested in kind of a face extradition to the u.s. for allegedly vaunting sanctions on a wrong move threatens the media agreed truce in the ongoing us china trade while. you're watching all the international law from moscow just going to i am here in the russian capsule. welcome to tonight's program. students across france continued to protest against the government's education reforms on thursday over one hundred fifty four forced to close friends more affected by blockades in

the western city of nonce a group of students clashed with police officers and car on fire and burning rubbish in the streets. police used tear gas in an attempt to disperse the protesters and in turn had stones and other projectiles heard held at them shouldn't so unhappy about changes to the university admissions process and increases in tuition fees the demonstrations also turned violent in a number of other cities too with cars being torched in paris the unrest comes as the country braces for a fresh wave of violence this weekend over fuel tax hikes more details shot at the . to do so have come out to protest in the center of paris saying that they're unhappy with is that the prices are the registration fees for foreign students in comparison to local students and they're hoping that he's not that you tune it was announced by the government last night in front over those

rises in the field tax they will be also able to get to hear their demands and they will also be met basically protest groups no seeing that they can see no blood and they seeing a fracture risk government could possibly give in to some of their demands however the yellow vests are they happy with what we know but so far it seems many on north we've been speaking to some of the other guests who've been telling us that it's too little soon 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 insult them even policemen are protesting they're also fed. no one listens to them no one gives them opportunities there is no way back the country needs a new political strategy. while another protest is planned for this saturday by

this really shows who are not content that the government has really hurt their claims and their problems that a government is only saying that it is 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 in suturing those protests in france and also move them four hundred people arrested as a result of that group appears to be efficient within the french government last night the elisei government and house if he can sling that increase in the fuel tax just hours after 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 that's taken this now to aleksey it could be as news from the party force also moves forward that it is on the do the force

of the yellow vests was demonstrated the government took a small step back but this is a maneuver and 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 months. was you lazy don't say they will continue their movement the protests on saturday is still teaching it take place some suggestion these protests could go on until the end of the year and we also know that there is no i disapprove of these protests now with one police you know him saying that it will go on strike i'm sorry. from the very start we supported the ideas of the yellow verse movement and at some point it became clear that we were not being we continue losing our

purchasing power police officers like us have also been affected by the increase in fuel prices we had little choice and we decided to go on strike it seems like the unrest in france is far from. charlotte to discuss. although the government did announce a total climb down on a tax increase on thursday the prime minister says that more now needs to be done to appease the yellow vests and the same time though at what felipe has promised to crack down on any violence that might erupt during protests on saturday. the government is going to deploy exceptional security measures which are going to be added to the sixty five thousand police deployed across france we will continue to question and bring to justice all the people we caught in flagrant acts of violence and degradation we will continue to show the greatest firmness we will fight hate which shows itself through unbelievable violence. as a precaution the authorities are still closing off the eiffel tower on saturday

along with dozens of museums that's off the tourist hot spots including the ark could triomphe or vandalized by demonstrators last week over political analyst nicola medical that thinks the government is not fully in control of the situation . 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 island is humongous and they haven't seen it coming they should have seen it because we have had a lot of single showing that this was coming up 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's that this is also of course getting a positive message out of people think that bringing out more violence is going to change even more so yes there will be more violence and also i do think that as the 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. i mean while the yellow vest protests have spread beyond french borders as well reaching other continents. i.

see financial officer own daughter of the founder of the chinese smartphone giant two-way has been arrested by canadian authorities is now facing it should be noted states over alleged violation of sanctions on iran that move threatens to reignite a trade war between washington and beijing which had shown signs of easing a lot more pain has more details. well 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 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 you need to demand an explanation for the detention and the person's immediate release the tension 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 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 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. . the global head of currency strategy and market research at f.x. believes trumps twenty tirades against china so in shock waves across the stock markets that's what's it feeds are now being watched as closely on the dashboards as economic data and traditional economic macro releases 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 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 so i mean

a change in narrative if we see tonight or over the next couple of days more positivity around the true truce that relations are improve and then this much of over a verse once again however if we see the very same suit political tension some hope it's a chorus that what we've seen today and yesterday is going to prolong even further . u.s. china trade tension send shock waves across european markets the e.u. staking steps to ease its dependence on the dollar the european commission has unveiled plans to boost use of the euro in international energy deals this will allow european business is to benefit from stronger totally and finance themselves with reduced exposure to legal actions taken by third country jurisdictions now brussels announcement comes off to washington declared its withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal the move has forced many e.u.

firms to stop trading with the wrong for fear of u.s. sanctions back in twenty fifteen an international deal was agreed to end sanctions on iran in exchange for tehran scrapping its nuclear program that's opened up iran's nuclear will market this year however trump quit that agreement disastrous all sanctions previously lifted were reimposed which didn't sit well with the e.u. . the late if this is so for the. welcome to the. wealth like those who own the place but if it's one of them of them of getting the 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 the. crowd funded professor of economics on petro and believes trumps recent behavior on the international arena makes america

a tough part to work with. the recent rogue behavior by america because it got far worse than it was beforehand i think is convincing a lot of countries i simply can no longer a lock on the american dollar for international tried you have the most with being told not to allow iranian bank accounts to use whipped now you have the chinese citizen being arrested in canada for violating an american sanction all this sort of action is going to say we have to find another foundation. from the american dollar for international tried 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 valued possibly twice what it should be deceiving international reserve currency so it'd be in the interests to say spinning the currency but they're so addicted to power that they're going to probably in force try to enforce their power and well

they will disrupt any attempt to use any currency other than the american dollar for tried. meanwhile world markets are poised in anticipation to head of opec's next move that's after the group of some of the world's biggest oil producing nations agreed to a cut in production but they haven't yet agreed exactly how much another move which will stabilize falling prices was agreed to date a meeting of the group along with russia the decision flies in the face of comments 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 on the u.s. president's recommendations didn't go down so well with the saudi energy minister when asked to comment on trump's call he said the u.s. is in the position to tell opec or saudi arabia what to do a man's energy minister confirmed the size of the cuts will be decided on friday do you do you recommend that we wouldn't look quite yet but we don't need to the we

didn't discuss the number of new two year period. you recommended a q that you were committed that we all did you all if you are going to be given to do all the things we can do to me and to morrow and after to morrow. the whole plant if you use you will discuss the income of the refinery. the much anticipated opec meeting comes following a thirty percent fall in oil prices just in the past two months or the worst since the two thousand and eight financial crisis there's been added interest after qatar announced that was quitting the organization becoming the first gulf country to leave the bloc just below head of research and capital group gave us his thoughts on opec's plan cuts in oil production. i think politics does play a part in the movements and the oil price and the decision that opec's taking here it used to be that opec were the marginal produces so in essence opec completely controlled or supply these days that russia and the us do as well russia's partly

partnering with opec the u.s. isn't so we have various marginal producers and i think that's why there's a lot of volatility in the market. another political factor i think is a bit involved here is that saudi arabia who are one of the leading opec member countries are trying to walk a tight rope here they're trying on the one hand to cut production to increase the oil price which is good for their national economy but then the other hand they're trying to appease u.s. president donald trump and he has a different motivation he would like all prices to stay low i think that's why we're seeing all prices jump up and down so much because they have all these competing players globally for who has market share in and who is able to profit most from various price levels. greece has been rocked by police brutality protests we'll have more. after this short break.

thanks. to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be

president i'm sure. that you'd like to be cross with them before three of the more people. interested in the waters of our age. thanks to. the program protests took place across greece on thursday. sort of the killing of a teenager by police in athens a number of cities including the demonstrations descended into violence. the. city of first saloniki saw some of the worst violence with demonstrators throwing fire bombs and stones at police who responded with tear gas at least fifty people were reportedly detained during those clashes back in two

thousand and eight a policeman shot dead a fifteen year old alexis. in athens a quarrel with a group of teenagers was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison another policeman present was given ten years despite that demonstrations are held annually across the country and often result in violent clashes. julian assange has rejected a deal struck by the u.k. in ecuador which president claims will enable wiki leaks co-founder to leave his country's embassy in london then what i know is that britain has given assurances it will not extradite assad's to any country where he might face the death penalty more details here as police work. 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 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 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. for skipping bail i don't think this is a very yet. human rights activist peter tatchell believes that even if a songes life is not under threat you could still face up to fifty years in prison in the united states. certainly true that the british government would not extradite during the song to a country where he could face the death penalty. and you know maybe the

u.s. government might at some point given assurances that he won't face the death penalty but so far the u.s. government has not given those assurances and even if they did that would not preclude him facing charges which could land him in prison for thirty to fifty years that is of most would be a most unjust punishment for person an organization that he is part of who simply published published information which also been in the public domain from the get go. but from the team of myself for this hour join us again in about thirty minutes for the latest global news headlines. this hour we need. the world indeed your mother. but our eyes how do. ya is this dad i didn't. know you were to be employed there you go at the rate.

on which i got older and your father the most some of those you do i mean look if you get a good bill has it funny but it was huge i love it when you. get out of order and you can base it right on the bank if you were going to bayswater it chemical lies and that's our this is going to that he would get out and you treat them and their international market know that these industries out of polluting you had to simply ignore the one that most of them love the beatles and when we lost them other than like that we lost the you know this. what does the rise of the yellow vests lumen in france tell us about the state of

the neoliberal order in europe are the protests in france the largest since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight just about a hike in fuel prices and is. the right person to be president to address the problems so many in france. thank you thank. god i am . right thanks thanks. thanks.

i. was to welcome to the alex salmond show into the first of two editions where prime minister may fights a desperate battle for the survival of her eight year to p. and strategy but will it be this particular english leader's action court or perhaps more likely her bannockburn next week a panel of politicians will be reading the ruins following the meaningful vote in the heist of commons this week we turn for advice to academia and to the commentary that for prophecy first kings college law professor and mcgahee charts us through the legal minefield confronting the prime minister and then to top journalists give different views on teresa mayes chances of making it through christmas as prime minister former s.n.p. m.p. and columnist for the national george cut of an i.q.

said a prime minister deserted by much of her own party will be finally sunk by a fatal combination of also unionists i'm scottish nationalists after two years of negotiation dominated by the irish quarter this week's shock opinion from the european courts advocate general brings the scottish dimension back to the forefront. if m.p.'s can order the government to stop the article fifty cloak then the prime minister's choice of my way or the brakes a highway becomes a hole through it however one of mays' dies just defenders in fleet street award winning columnist peter oborne cautions that it ain't over until it's over for me nobody yet he warns has made their fortune by betting against the jews ability of this particular prime minister but first year teacher mess just and your e-mails and a great mind to comment on i said i'm just a special which features some us call and finest artistic talent however thanks first to eagle eyed thomas mcmanus who spotted it among the footage of scottish

fans celebrating the country's national day there was one percent of a more religious than a national persuasion as a result of thomas' critique we were able to edit the film in time for our main broadcast and our facebook premiere thomas told us that his wife would chuckle at this mention of his name and to do to correct if you know and so and this big show we're open once again to anyone who supports our deliberate mistakes first we hear from lily by it and he says hello i love this in reference to the sit on tuesday sure i always shyness and i'm just a celebration and also probably school when i was a teacher and invited the whole community to come along we had great scottish fun thinking about this by inviting people to donate to the local food bank and our toys robert says agree scotland has a lot of this world's greatest talents yes indeed louis says good to see a scottish classical musician that was his quote i mean the scotland's music cd is

about one nine hundred ninety was the first time i heard a musical history she said like a normal country rather than it used to folk tradition only john says i fit enjoy this and i'm just a theory saturday alex i'm unsure lovely to hear she do wellington's all too brief rendition of burton's also vibrant think it when he's cool who are both highly enjoyable yes the word indeed and finally martin who says a public holidays. and i'm just a would be great it will come one day i'm sure we all hope so too mario and i to the breakfast to new more this week the house of commons started their five day long breaks debate which will determine the fate of mates breaks a deal and perhaps of the prime minister herself however this week was barely started when the government got itself embroiled in an unseemly squabble with parliament over the publication of legal advice here to what the opposing advocates had to say but first presiding on the bench and most unfortunately for the government mr speaker the formidable john bercow insisting on the rights and

prerogatives of the house of commons and making it clear that no attorney general he ever so high is above the writ of parliament i have considered the matter carefully and i am satisfied that there is an arguable case but the contempt has been committed this house has now spoken and it's all future constitutional political significance which is i think a precedented for this house to find ministers in content the motion makes clear the government must now publish the attorney general's final legal advice in full and in light of the expressed will of the house we will publish the final and full advice provided by the attorney general to cabinet as our first guest explains the prime minister should be careful not to lose her legal advice is she may have need of them shortly alex spoke to professor here in mcgahee of king's college about the range of legal challenges now evidently confronting the prime minister when.
