tomorrow but i don't believe. the top stories for this hour here on this friday. here in the. students across france are protesting against the government's education reforms now forcing over one hundred fifty schools to close and the number of demonstrations.

the riots come in the wake of weeks of nationwide protests against fuel price increases and high living costs more of these are rallies by the so-called yellow vest movement while they are planned for saturday the yellow vest riots have seen three deaths and hundreds of injuries nationwide in paris alone shop profits dropped by fifty percent and four million euros of damage was inflicted the government has since backed down promising to scrap its proposed fuel tax however it's still introducing exceptional security measures with visitors to paris for example being told to stay away from certain attractions including the eiffel tower . because of all does a film assume we have information about a great number of individuals who are coming to paris not to protest peacefully but to confront to attack the forces of little. we mobilized an important number of police offices eighty nine thousand in front so rule this is an exceptional mobilization because we don't want to endanger the republic weeks of protests have

taken their toll on french president emanuel micron who has seen his approval ratings tank his own correspondent charlatans. another day another protest today in france. by the governments you churn on a few tax rice feel like the winds are changing and blowing in their favor now as the crisis continues parties from the left are calling for a very good no confidence in the french government this second in months local now we see that our government is heading for disaster and it's our collective responsibility to make it stop here and to do something to change the government and the holidays try to convince other members of parliament aside from us to sign this motion of no confidence and voted through on if you've targeted his front sees hope when he was elected last year he came into office with an approval rating of more than sixty percent but he's gone from jupiter to g.s.

with the latest polls showing his popularity has crashed. labor will be free companies will be supported an initiative will be encouraged. the way that was. cumbersome i will humbly serve our people god. it fosters a frenchman and french women who feel forgotten would be better protected. so what's caused the collapse as well as implementing a vast range of unpopular reforms that have led to him being labelled the president of the rich he's also known for his news tongue and perceived arrogance he told army generals just give a push if. speech over spending cuts the head of the french open forces soon

quit and he would be far from the last to abandon micron's camp the president. even told pensioners that france would be better off if people stop whining after being harangued by the worried about pension cuts the only thing we don't have the right to do about is complain the president may have hoped the u. turn on fuel tax hikes would have quelled the anger but it hasn't it only seems to have intensified it with truckers farmers are new students now taking their concerns to the streets protesters here are calling for a makeover to resign was you cause you doubt i consider my comment to be a president who's against social rights who's trying to deconstruct the welfare state. he's clearly implementing policies for the rich he's the president of the rich we want a president for the poor a lawsuit

a president who prioritizes the common interest as well. as across was a commission would be a deal palms job is to respond to the people's democracy unfortunately though in the national assembly where the majority are with a march the deputies follow orders like sheep but we are happy because there are deputies who represent the interests of the people more uncertain the amount of food on the market and i don't like him a lot but the problem is that if you want to make on to resign who are you going to put forward against them so if you have a good candidate that's fine but michael resign and let's see what happens is that the great option for corn once penda book entitled a revolution in it he wrote about the quest to reinvent the french nation has a popular policies may just be doing that as the yellow vests movement continues to gain traction problem is this was the revolution the president foresaw nor

wanted charlotte even ski altie paris. john laughlin the professor of political science at the catholic university of one day says the protest movement could very. well spell the end of the dream for emanuel backgrounds presidency. it's certainly the end of the dream that he liked to cultivate he made people dream or think made people think and dream that change could take place without difficulty and that because he was new and a new person and a new party that everything would suddenly get better emmanuelle mccomb like his two predecessors has absolutely no new ideas he remains where did the policies that have failed now for many decades in france high tax high spending. european policy relaxed policy on immigration all the costs of these things add up and spending is out of control and so taxes keep going up higher and higher and people

have had enough. julian a lawyer has rejected a deal struck by the u.k. and ecuador which ecuador's president claims will enable the wiki leaks co-founder to leave his country's embassy in london then says that britain has given assurances it will not extradite assange to any country where he might face the death penalty but more details artie's poly boy. they could or even president has done a radio interview in which he's been very frank about julian assange and he said that the british government has guaranteed in writing that if you're in the sun just to leave the ecuadorian embassy in london well then the u.k. won't extradite him to a third country where he could face the death penalty so as a headline this sounds like surely good news for julian assange but it's important to remember that the ecuadorian president isn't exactly julian assange is biggest

fan lenin moran no has referred to a songe as a hacker in the past in the interview he said that he's fed up with the wiki leaks editor staying in his country's tiny london embassy i do not like the presence of mr sunshine in the dorrian embassy we have been respectful of his human rights with that in mind we think that six years is too long for someone to remain it's almost incarcerated and embassy or how good the treatment is that they're receiving hosting him costs one million dollars a year the big concern that a songes lawyers have had throughout the six years he spent in the ecuadorian embassy is this prospect of a criminal case against julian assange over in the us in fact last month it was revealed accidentally that the u.s. justice department had filed secret criminal charges against the wiki leaks that it's at and prosecutors have refused to reveal what specifically those criminal

charges are so however much the ecuadorian president might want julian assange to walk out now that he says he's got these guarantees it's simply not that easy on the one hand yes whatever case there was against a son in sweden has collapsed and it's expired but technically a son just still wanted by british authorities for skipping bail in the u.k. and with prosecutors in the u.s. on able to even say what the criminal charges against julian a songe are i don't think this is a very yet. julian assange has been voicing concerns that he could face the death penalty in the united states for leaking thousands of classified documents and these include information on well civilian deaths in afghanistan but also on the cia's spy tools is now also the focus of an investigation into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election back in twenty's sixteen we spoke with human rights activist

peter tatchell who believes that even if a songes life is not in danger he could still face up to fifty years in prison in the united states it's certainly true that the british government would not extradite during a sanch to a third country where he could face the death penalty. and you know maybe the u.s. government might at some point give 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 and 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 have been in the public domain from the get go. u.s. president donald trump has tweeted his agreement with remarks made by china

expressing optimism that a trade deal between beijing and washington is achievable in one thousand days. will i do with him in the next ninety days china and the united states will carry our negotiations on important issues relating to each site's concerns and make an effort to reach a consensus with the ultimate goal of removing all the increased tariffs this will be done in accordance with the principles of mutual respect equality and mutual benefit. these positive remarks came amid the arrest of the chief financial officer and daughter of the founder of chinese smart smartphone dr hua way this happening to canada she's now facing extradition to america over an alleged violation of sanctions on iran china is demanding the immediate release of the c.f.o. what he called her detention a violation of human rights more details now with our teas and here. well there was a sigh of relief when the u.s. president and his chinese counterpart agreed to a temporary truce to their trade spots last weekend but wanted them but the first

may have been denied diplomacy in argentina at the same time the u.s. was making moves which would take relations to new lows it involves one of china's leading telecoms firms weiwei the jewel in china's enviable tech industry and this is the c.f.o. of that company mung one joe who also happens to be the daughter of its founder she was taken into custody by canadian authorities on the very same day the siege and paying and donald trump were giving the impression the better times were on the cards for their bilateral relations well monk now faces extradition to the u.s. and while u.s. full thora teams have not revealed the motives behind the arrest there are reports that the company is suspected of potential violations of u.s. sanctions against iran they respond when beijing has been stood. under the explanation for the detention and the person's immediate release detention without providing any explanation violates the human rights of the detainee. rewind to less

than a week ago trumpet claims that a trade deal with in. the woods and the relations had taken a big leap forward but that was followed by a tweet insisting that if an agreement wasn't reached it's important to remember he's a tariff man it's a roller coaster want just for emotions but for the market to even the white house is top economic advisor can help with a disaster but it's only uncertainty i think it's coming ok they're in trouble that's what give us some details well it hasn't been signed and sealed and delivered yet and adding to all the confusion is the proposal of this ninety day truce that period this supposed to be used to ramp up dialogue an attempt to mend the rift between the two sides richard wolfe a professor of economics at massachusetts university says volatile relations between trying the united states for the entire world. there is the crazy

up and down of the tensions with china one day we're on the verge of a breakthrough the next day with threatening one another again the next day we're friends the next day we arrested the executive in canada and the biggest problem about all of that is the uncertainty this kind of crazy uncertainty may be good politics for him but it's crying gould's up the economic lifeblood of the united states let's be clear what's being done year if the united states wants the rest of the world to behave according to what we want we are inviting every other country to put sanctions on whoever they don't like and then we can all be able to trade with anybody for fear that some government somewhere is going to punish us arrest or executives this is a kind of nationalism gone crazy and that is worrying both american investors and the rest of the world. tourism is government and the whole of the u.k.

and gearing up for one of the most crucial votes in the country's modern history with parliament to vote on whether to accept the draft picks a deal on december the eleventh there is confusion panic and anticipation in the streets is a correspondent and i see your childhood. brick said from a people's vote to a nation's headache it's a ticking time bomb with just days to go before it goes off which could potentially send the u.k. into more chaos and uncertainty december eleventh will be make or break day for the british prime minister apparent it's guessing game about what outcomes are likely to follow have reached boiling point in the u.k. the house of commons will vote on whether or not to give a green light to the plan to rescind may has been pushing through like a cupcake through a keyhole the stakes are higher than ever day's a fiery breck's a debate have been rocking parliament ahead of the meaningful vote the deal before us would make our country worse off our country would be better off remaining in

the european union the next sitting on the basis of this deal i've got no stake in this government anymore is it time that the prime minister to responsibility responsibility for concealing the fungus it is a paint a plaster pseudo brick shit the choice before parliament is clear this deal no deal or the risk of no bricks it. or tuesday's vote leads is anyone's guess it may suffer as a major defeat developments like heart brags that a new deal bracks it a vote of no confidence against the prime minister general election a second referendum and even no president all are all being mulled over while the british public grows weary of the uncertainty but this is madness because our store . right know that the men in my group going to wait should do is getting very messy sons i was due to be and still you know so you get the people i'm sick to death of

hearing about it i've seen fed up now you have to change the subject yes please give us a break i think you've been covered a bit too much because there's nothing actually been done as a solo basically told to every single day over time bricks the bricks he put. off in. so it's for the sake of the everybody figured out if i'm not sick of it very interesting. it's going to shift from a bit to make it very clear they seem to be very confusing nobody knows quite what going on to discuss i don't know that they don't tell me everything is. a little bit uncertainty i don't think it's affecting anyone yet who does it feel real it's going to go on forever in the camp hope it doesn't happen so if you go back to square one probably it was people who should have got there are straight or were you sort of from the birth of true. meanwhile words like chaos panic and meltdown all too common in newspaper headlines these days have been adding fuel to the fire

as the u.k. reads tea leaves and bites its mails and stacey churkin out hard to find it. and a news story still to come here on the program on the pakistan says it will now help the u.s. in its bid to bring the taliban to the negotiating table after a fresh request was made by washington that story and much more in just about one. week. 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 manual mccrone the right person to be president to

address the problems so many in france. you know world of big movies. and conspiracy it's time to wait 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. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. thanks for joining us here on our pakistan has finally agreed to a u.s. request for assistance in bringing the taliban to peace talks in afghanistan the

war there in afghanistan ongoing now a seventeen yes. we want the u.s. to leave afghanistan as a friend of the region not fadia a statement came right after america's special representative for afghanistan wrapped up his visit to pakistan and follows a difficult period in relations between islamabad and washington for example in september the u.s. announced it was stopping many millions in financial aid to pakistan with donald trump saying that america had received nothing but lies and deceit for its money we can no longer be silent about pakistan's safe havens for terrorists organizations don't do anything for us they don't do a damn thing for us but no longer paying one point three billion to pakistan we're paying them nothing because that's what they've done to help us nothing so we discussed our u.s. policy in the middle east on ties with pakistan with. pakistan's federal minister for human rights. president trump was talking absolute

nonsense of a mississauga and for the first time a pakistani prime minister studies ground and told him off for basically accusing pakistan of all sorts of things they have come back to pakistan and do normally makes a lot of it is strong and the pakistan statements has come like lividity sheepishly . and very quiet and asked and trump wrote a letter asking for pakistan's help in bringing about a dialogue with the taliban and helping in resolving the problems in afghanistan and now zalmay italy that came with the same message the next day. the problem with the americans is that the policy has been exposed to being wrong their policy has failed their military approach has absolutely failed. there is more chaos there is more there are more deaths now and than ever before

this fight we need to in u.s. military presence so the americans have realize what we have realized a long time ago that at the end of the day you have to come to that dialogue be able to bring about peace. the americans have to talk to pakistan. the fact that you can do more do more of month rather that the inflicted does not work any more it has changed the way that they approach pakistan and i think that change was necessitated by the new government that has come into power because our government is not going to dig dictation from the us. opec is keeping other countries in suspense the world's biggest oil producing nations have agreed to cut production though not yet by how much the decision is aimed at stabilizing falling oil prices it was agreed on thursday at

a meeting of the group along with russia meanwhile man's energy minister confirmed that the size of the cut will be decided on friday. you can't. produce what we don't we didn't disclose the number of new tears that. you recommended. will be. recorded and moral enough to. hope that you will discuss income up in the final. the much anticipated opec meeting comes following a thirty percent fall in oil prices in the past two months one of the worst so. the two thousand and eight financial crisis has been added interest after a cut out of announced it was quitting the organization becoming the very first gulf country to leave the opec block i've just been head of the research of the london capital group gave us his thoughts on opec's plan to cut in oil production.

i think politics does play a part in the movements in the oil price and the decision that opec's taking here used to be the 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 fact 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. protests took place across greece on thursday to mark ten years since the fatal pollution police shooting of a teenage boy in athens a number of demonstrations to turn violent. protests . in the streets and. while in. police who responded with. we understand at least a fifty people detained. in two thousand and eight a policeman shot dead a fifteen year old boy in athens during a quarrel with a group of teenagers he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison another policeman present at the time was given. a protests have been taking place each and every year since the. program put this out what he wanted international.
