to confront to attack the forces of law. we mobilized an important number of police officers eighty nine thousand in france overall this is an exceptional mobilization because we don't want to endanger the republic me or weeks of protests have taken their toll on the authority of president macron along with his ratings to charlotte i've been skiing as more another day another protest in france. by the governments you turn on a few taxwise feel like the winds are changing and blowing in their favor now is the crisis continues parties from the left are calling for a very good no confidence in the french government this second in months when most want to see a vote of no confidence as it's clear from the name means that we tell the government you are going in the wrong direction i mean the majority party of course the government can then resign and the president of the republic would appoint a new prime minister in addition to the three factions that signed this vote of no

confidence the communist party unbowed france and the socialists we want to unite and win over other deputies. touted 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 the labor will be free companies will be supported initiatives will be encouraged he. was. gambling i will humbly serve our people was. it fosters a frenchman and french women who feel for a guy. better protect him. so

what's caused the collapse as well as implementing a vast range of unpopular reforms that have led to him being labeled the president of the rich he's also known for his loose tongue and perceived arrogance he told army generals just. speech over spending cuts the head of the french armed forces soon quit and he would be far from the last to abandon macron scam 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 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 foam is our new students now taking their concerns to the streets protesters here are calling the mark or so residing in

luxury of course you doubt that i consider my home to be a president who's against social life who's trying to deconstruct the welfare state . he's clearly implementing policies for the ridge because he's the president of the rich we want a president of a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest as well. as a concert ignition it would be a deal more apartments jobs to respond to the people's democracy unfortunately though most of the national assembly where the majority are with a march the deputies follow orders like sheep are happy because they are a deputies who represent the interests of the people more uncertain is on the mark on the 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 resign. let's see what happens is that the grid of. corn once pended book entitled to revolution in its he wrote about the quest to

reinvent the french nation he's unpopular policies may just be doing that as the yellow this movement continues to gain traction problem is this was the revolution the president foresaw new wasn't it charlotte even ski r.t. paris. a professor of political science at the catholic university in van de jong rockland says that the protest movement could spell the end for matt crumbs 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 emanuel michael like his two predecessors has absolutely no new ideas he remains where did the policies of the

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. now donald trump has tweeted his agreement to remarks by beijing expressing optimism a trade deal between the two countries is achievable in ninety days. will i george again in the next ninety days chime in 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 tariffs this will be done in accordance with the principles of mutual respect equality and mutual benefit positive remarks to come despite continuing fallout over the arrest in canada of

the chief financial officer and daughter of the founder of the chinese giant weiwei she's now facing extradition to the u.s. over an alleged violation of sanctions on iran china is demanding her immediate release and called the detentions a violation of human rights this morning a case. where 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 one december 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 that she didn't paint 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. authorities 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 their response from beijing has been stood. with them on 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 was in the works and that will. lation said 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 all the uncertainty i think it's coming. here in trade 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. reporting the professor of economics at massachusetts university richard bove says that volatile relations between china and the u.s. are bad for the world as a whole. 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 were 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. now the u.s. could be considering tearing up another arms treaty with russia the strategic arms reduction treaty also known as start that's the concern expressed by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says that it's doing one gets the impression that the ground is being late for the eventual terminations of star three. well earlier this week the number one diplomat in america said that russia has sixty days to stop breaking the rules of the intermediate range nuclear forces treating the american side claims that russia has to get rid of one of its missiles with

a range that's longer than the one allowed by the treaty i.v. route to system. or change the system where it doesn't exceed the range all of this is about a missile with a name that only contains letters and numbers the nine m. seven two nine moscow has been saying many times that it can fly longer. or than five hundred kilometers that is the i.n.f. treaty red line however the american intelligence insists that its range is actually far greater than that well. once again said that this is false and also added that washington's never show russia anything to prove their claims because the us has identified the missile and claims that it was tested at a distance prohibited by the treaty which says that both the distance and the conditions of the test were in accordance with the treaty it has been said many

times that europe will fall under the most serious risk if the i.n.f. treaty is abolished so the russian foreign minister believes that washington spark there's any europe should try and convince washington to start a dialogue with moscow on how to resolve this dispute no use no new bespoke who will do it if some of our european counterparts are concerned they must influence their ally of the united states so that's the american sit down with us and start to talk substantively instead of just throwing accusations at us across the ocean we could but we are ready for such a conversation. that there is already concern at this point that washington could use these allegations against russia as a pretext to ditch other treaties and we've heard previously from russian officials including vladimir putin they believe the american side first quits and then tries to explain why they did so. they are trying to fan out the u.k.

is gearing up for one of the most crucial parliamentary votes in the country's modern history parliament confronted prime minister theresa majoring a five day debate on whether to vote through the draft breaks it day long change day and there seems to be a mix of confusion panic and anticipation to among the british public on the issue as ati's on the sea children reports. predicts that 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 set in 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 days of 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 tossed a pseudo brick sheet the choice before parliament is clear this deal no deal over 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 no 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 story . bridget writes you know that in this bedroom going to wait should be getting very messy sounds i was doing today i'm still nervous over but. i'm sick to death of

hearing about it have so fed up now yet we 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 sort of basically told to you every single day over time bricks and bricks people . coughing six for six good what he said get out of it i'm not sick of it. very interesting they're. going to sasha but don't make it very clear. to be very confusing nobody knows quite what going on because it just sounds like i don't know what i did. i think everything is. a little bit of uncertainty i don't think it's affecting anyone yet she does it feel real good to go on forever i've been a terrible because would have been told to go back to square one all it was people who should have got her are straight or were you sort of from the birth of her. 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 party line to. become to softening we've got some stuff this. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 on the bath 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 for watching closely watching the

hawks. when all make this manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. room in the real news room. again now germany's ruling christian democrat party will decide on a new leader later today is chancellor angela merkel steps down from the rubble after eighteen years in charge with more from berlin his. angela merkel has kicked

off the christian democratic union party's conference a crucial war in the history of the party its angela merkel's last hours lead a eighteen years she's been in charge of the c.d.u. she stepped down from that position today she remains as chancellor of course she says she'll stay on doing not job until twenty twenty one she gave a speech that was followed by ten minutes or so standing ovation they did not speak she said that the challenges facing the country right now were polarizing and that they needed strong will to tackle them at the heart. it's a critical time for our country and for parties like ours the c.d.u. c.s.u. with the f.t. to the right in fast and with a polarized society. well it was about the most of his speeches you ever tend to get from. could hear her voice go a few times when she was thanking people for the help that they'd given her over

the years what she did say and this was a key point throughout the speech was the time now is for the christian democratic union as a party to put together a new program a new direction and fight the motto they say a party conference which mrs merkel kept going back to you is unite and lead together she said the job of shaping the party in the direction it will go in is up to somebody else now and that she will continue as she will continue as chancellor to take responsibility for looking after the nation so the choice for the one thousand and one cd you delegates that are currently gathered in hamburg it's going to come down to one of three people going to be a choice between the current general secretary of the party the current german health minister or a businessman and former m.p. the preferred choice of mrs merkel is understood to be an internet. known by her initials a k k and it lands assist with the so. all a pro european and

a francophile she certainty fostered the already tight links with france when it comes to russia she is perhaps even more skeptical of the kremlin than chancellor merkel last week she called for russian ships coming from the hours of sea to be barred from u.s. and e.u. ports saying vladimir putin hadn't been squeezed enough. to put in pushes as far as he thinks he will get away with and if you read from the u.s. don't give a firm united response he will continue to press for there we have seen this in the recent years. if the c.d.u. delegates look to the future and inject a little youth into the leadership then the end span of thirty eight is the one they'll be voting for he's built up a relationship with donald trump's administration through a close friendship with trump's man in berlin he's also singing from the trump song sheet when it comes to raising defense spending on europe he's all about the

national interests of member states on russia he's in favor of a tough stance and even using the nord stream to gas pipeline project if he thinks it's necessary if. i think it's important to send and russia the message that north stream two is not entirely unconditional that it cannot exist no matter what he does or how far things are escalated the frederick mertz was a big fish in the c.d.u. in the early two thousand but he fell out with than realistically was ousted from the party by angela merkel he has since made millions as a corporate lawyer and working with u.s. investment management giants black rock although very much in atlanta assist with a capital a he is in step with most germans and not being a fan of president trump he's understood to support e.u. defense cooperation as for his opinion on russia he has backed stronger sanctions against moscow even if it harms german economic interests if the west wants to

react mcluhan's to live and more seriously this time than it did to russia's previous violations of international law economic relations with russia cannot remain an affect it. the voting will start at around four thirty local time what we can expect though is a runoff between the the two candidates that have the most votes there the winner will need to get fifty percent or over of the votes cast by the one thousand and one delegates of course everything that happens throughout the day in hamburg we bring you right here on r.t. . those with a keen eye on global oil markets are waiting patiently after the opec group of key order producers announced it had agreed a cut in production although it's yet to say by how much exactly the decision is aimed at stabilizing plummeting prices it was reached in vienna in thursday at a meeting of the group along with russia a man's energy minister has confirmed the size of the cut will be decided today. do

you get it do you recommend it plowed through the crowd yes but we don't need to have an explosive man under the two years that there are there the work you brother of mine really do recommend you to keep it likely to recover because we all do you know you all want to be able to do all the things we can give them and moral enough to toward the hope of plasticity you see we'll discuss income up in front of it. but opec is meeting after a thirty percent slide in oil prices in just two months one of the worst falls since the two thousand and eight financial crisis is that it interesting when the talks after class are announced on the eve of the meeting that it was quitting the organization just but all ahead of the research of london capital group gave us his thoughts on a planned cut in order production. i think politics does play a part in the movements of 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 is partly living partnering with opec the u.s. isn't so we have various marginal producer. 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 and it's just coming up to four thirty pm here in moscow we're back with more stories in the headlines two at the top of the.

the ways of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. crossing the most of us just a little sympathy i want to take on most of enter and i want to ask some just about us but if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask than call mom. was you know you know i've encountered a person i get i'm in a lot of class and the one that. they had that water they all choose to stay in the

country with donald trump in the white house all over for the gravels the both of you what is the who do you beat up to the top of the old sets it struggles of many couples. to which have the political political spawn both of you up with a few of hope of the. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to win the death penalty just because they think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict respond innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying news just moved to the present and then we hear even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say.

not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. greetings and salutations. between now and december twenty fifth the millions upon millions upon millions of shoppers will hit the brick and mortar stores and online retailers be brutally buying up every last item or good one could possibly need during this year's holiday shopping season in fact the national retail federation is projecting over seven hundred billion in holiday sales just in the u.s. alone seven hundred billion but not all is filled with holiday cheer down and red white and who bill my hawk watchers new new new because while those numbers are

glowing the actual flow of money.
