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 if you were to shift. 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 is 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 the macro to resign was your course to doubt i consider my comment to be
5:07 am
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 president who prioritizes the common interest. of a concert mation it would be a deal parliaments job is to respond to the people's demands 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 and sort of the democracy mark 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. let's see what happens is that the greats of. corn once penned a 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 r.t. paris we spoke with john laughlin the professor of political science at the catholic university and. he says the protest movement could. very well spent the end of the dream for a manual micron's presidency. it's certainly the end of the dream that he liked to cultivate he made people dream things 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 emanuel mccomb like his two predecessors has absolutely no new ideas he remains where did the policies that have failed well 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 assange his 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 said that britain has given assurances it will not extradite her songe to any country where he might face the death penalty with more details he was artie's. the ecuadorian president has done a radio interview in which he has 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
5:10 am
a headline this sounds like jolly good news for julian a sandwich but it's important to remember that the ecuadorian president isn't exactly julian a songes biggest fan lenin moran no has referred to as sanjay as a hacker in the past in the interview he said that he's fed up with the wiki leaks editor saying in his country's time. in the london embassy i do not like the presence of mr sunshine in the dorian 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 in an embassy no matter 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 year he spent in the ecuadorian embassy is this prospect of a criminal case against julian assange over in the u.s. in fact last month it was revealed accidentally that the u.s.
5:11 am
justice department had filed secret criminal charges against the wiki leaks at its 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 that 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 among

others they include information on well civilian deaths in afghanistan but also on the cia's spy tools is now also the focus on how best occasion into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election now two years ago when we spoke with human rights activist peter tatchell who believes that even if assad has life is not in danger he could still face up to fifteen 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

5:22 am
and the war there in afghanistan ongoing now for seventeen years we want the us to leave afghanistan as a friend of the region not as a failure. that 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 would be 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 terrorist organizations or do anything for us to do a damn thing for us no longer paying one point three billion to practice then we're paying them nothing because that's what they've done to help us nothing we discuss the u.s. policy in the middle east and the ties with pakistan with pakistan's federal minister for human rights. president trump was talking
5:23 am
absolute nonsense a very mrs so and for the first time ever 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 live with the 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 leaves out 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 the military approach has absolutely failed. there is more
5:24 am
chaos there more there is more terrorism there are more deaths now in the grandstand than ever before despite the heavy need to an us military presence so that the americans have realised what we had realized a long time ago that at the end of the day you have to come to the dialogue table to bring about peace. the americans have to talk to pakistan. the fact that. water. does not work anymore has changed the way that they approach 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 foreign oil prices was agreed
5:25 am
on thursday at a meeting of the group along with russia meanwhile a man's energy minister confirmed that the size of the card will be decided on friday. you. can't. cut us but we don't need to we didn't disclose the number. you are commanded to keep your equipment it will be. given to you do you recall giving me. enough to. hope that you will discuss. the much anticipated opec meeting comes following a thirty percent fall in oil prices in just the past two months one of the worst since the two thousand and eight financial crisis there's been added interest after a cut out of announced it was quitting the organization and becoming the first gulf country to leave the opec bloc just head of research at london capital group gave
5:26 am
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 where the marginal produces so in essence opec completely controlled your supply these days that russia and the us do as well russia is 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
5:27 am
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 police shooting of a teenage boy in athens a number of the protests did turn violent. in athens protesters set up barricades in the streets and started fires while in thessaloniki they hold fire bombs on stones at police who responded with tear gas at least fifty people reportedly detained a back in two thousand and eight it was that the policeman shot dead a fifteen year old boy in athens during a quarrel with a group of teenagers he was found guilty of murder later and sentenced to life in prison another policeman present at the time was given ten years since then the protests have been taken place each and every year since the killing. thanks for
