many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. as. well as you point out there have been a lot of class and what that. they have what are their options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all. the. struggles of many couples. deal with trumped up political political battles have you got those of you with all of the. standing with the best students across france take to the streets over education reforms it follows weeks of protest against fuel price increases which forced a government needs to also russia's foreign minister says he believes the u.s.

has laid the ground to terminate the strategic arms reduction treaty his words come as washington announces plans to leave a key cold war era nuclear pact and histories in may battles for her drug dealing head of a critical parliamentary vote next tuesday we asked people in london what they think about the growing turmoil over the situation. is not fair actually been done over the last sort of discussion about will be trying to go a little bit. you know we're not told anything but what the prime minister says is. tomorrow but i don't believe. they're welcome just gone seven pm here in moscow you're watching international now students across france protesting against the government's education reforms

forcing more than one hundred fifty schools to close in a number of cities to the demonstrations have turned fired. meanwhile french m.p.'s have slammed as an acceptable and also humiliating the police treatment of student protesters on thursday that after a video emerged to detain students in the suburbs of paris being forced on to their nice. well in response france's education minister condemned the footage although he did add that the context of the protest also need to be taken into consideration the

country has seen some of the worst violence in half a century with demonstrators rallying for weeks more protests are also planned for the weekend with a yellow vest riots have seen three deaths and hundreds of injuries nationwide in paris alone shop profits have dropped fifty percent and four million euros of damage has been inflicted french retailers have lost around one billion euro since the start of the demonstrations the government has since backed down promising to scrap its proposed fuel tax however is still introducing exceptional security measures with visitors to paris for example being told to stay away from major attractions like the eiffel tower in an interview the french prime minister said that the government will deploy a dozen armored vehicles to ensure the protests remain peaceful on the streets of paris the last time such a measure was taken was thirteen years ago. because of what is a pharmacy all 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 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. meanwhile weeks of protests have taken their toll on the authority of president macron along with his writings to a shot at the now reports 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 is 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 seats 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 initiatives will be encouraged he. was a. gamble i'm i will humbly serve our people was. the fosters a frenchman and french women who feel. forgotten be better protected. if

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 open forces soon quit and he would be far from the last to abandon matt kwan'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 and complain about 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 earn 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 rights who's trying to deconstruct the welfare state. he's clearly implementing policies for the rich because he's the president of the rich we want a president of a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest. across was a good nation would be a deal more parliament's job is to respond to the people's democracy unfortunately though the national assembly where the majority are with a march the deputies follow orders like sheep but we're happy because there are deputies who represent the interests of the people more uncertain the models it is on the market and i don't like him a lot but the problem is that if you want american to resign who are you going to put forward against them so if you. good candidate that's fine but michael resign. let's see what happens as the other greats of. corn want spend their book entitled

to 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 new wanted charlotte even ski r.t. paris. or the professor of political science at the catholic university in van de universe involved a john rockland says that the protest movement could spell the end for mad crumbs presidency. it's certainly the end of the dream that he liked to cultivate he made people dream think made people think and dream that change could take place without difficulty and that because he was 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. and the last few minutes shimmies ruling christian democrat party is just chosen a new leader as chancellor angela merkel steps than from the role after eighteen years in charge so let's find out he's won them at artie's peter all over his in berlin covering the story for us going in peter break who's in charge now. and a gret. a.k.k. as she's known will be the new leader of the christian democratic union party she takes over from angola merkel she'd previously been the the party's general

secretary she was put into that position. by angle of merkel essentially being given the the papal blessing for her role in the future role and that is the role that she's taken she's won the the position after a runoff a get election against friedrich merits the first round of the ballot saw the health ministry gain span a limited from voting it went through to this runoff and. picked up five hundred seventeen of the one thousand and one delegate votes that were available you only need fifty percent of the votes to become the leader so it's her well. heading into this vote yes yes a she takes over from anglo merkel heading into the vote angela merkel opened up the party conference she said that whoever took on that job would have to be dealing with putting together a country that finds itself or certainly a party that finds itself polarized on a number of issues and tackling that was going to be job number one for whoever

took over. the white. 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 of us and with a polarized society. well i'm glad merkel will remain as chancellor she says she's going to stay on until twenty twenty one and that may have played a little bit of a role in how delegates voted for who she was up against well he essentially was ousted from the party by angela merkel when she rose to power eighteen years ago well not exactly eighteen years ago she was ousted she did hang around with her for a little bit but certainly the two did have history and there was a lot of people concerned whether she'd be able to operate as chancellor while he essentially was head of the party. she belongs to so. a.k.k. will be the new head of the c.d.u.

essentially putting yourself forward as the favorite to take over from. when twenty twenty one comes around if it lasts that long but just who is she and what she about let's have a look. the preferred choice of mrs merkel is understood to be an internet camp counselor known by her initials a k k and atlanticist with a small 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 as of sea to be barred from u.s. and e.u. ports saying bloody near putin hadn't been squeezed enough. to put in pushes as far as his things he will get away with and if you reckon the year is done give a firm united response he will continue to push for there we have seen this in the recent years. so the celebrations go on

a great crime current are underway she will be the new leader of the christian democratic union she has a lot of work on her hands i'm going to merkel hasn't exactly left the party in the greatest of shapes they've been hemorrhaging votes left right and center to the greens and to the the right wing alternative for germany party so she's got a lot of work to do will be keeping an eye on how she gets on with but as i say it's all but annoying so essentially it's potential future chancellor of germany. and i. thank you peter that was peter oliver for us there in berlin. now the u.k. is gearing up for one of the most crucial parliamentary vote in the country's modern history parliament confronted prime minister trees a major in a five day debate on whether to vote through the draft breaks it deal next tuesday and there seems to be a mix of confusion panic and anticipation among the british public on the issue.

takes a look. at it 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 a guessing game about what outcomes are likely to follow have reached a 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 bret's it 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 sealing the fires it is a paint. kloster pseudo break sheets the choice before parliament is clear this

deal no deal over the risk of no breaks it. or tuesday's vote leads is anyone's guess it may suffer as a major defeat developments like the hard brags that a new deal brags that a vote of no confidence against the prime minister general election a second referendum and even no brags it at all are all being mulled over while the british public grows weary of the uncertainty but this is madness course to. drink she writes you know that i'm in my group going to wait should do is getting very messy sounds i was due to be i'm still nervous over the people i'm sick to death of hearing about it have so fed up now you change the subject yes please give us a break i think you've been covered a bit too much this is nothing that should be done as a solo specifically told to you every single day over time bricks and bricks people

. often search for take you to everybody to get out of it i'm not sick of it very interesting how does it go it's going to sasha to make it very clear. and to be very confusing nobody knows politics going on to discuss i don't know what i did do until i think everything is. a little bit of uncertainty i don't think it's affecting anyone yet who does it feel real good to go on forever i've been a terrible puppet does it have been told to go back to square one probably was people who should've got on straight or were you sort of for 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 party wanted. nothing nice the u.s. could be considering tearing up another arms treaty with russia as the strategic arms reduction treaty also known

a start at least that's the concern expressed by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. so that it's fish 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 treaty 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 either you read the 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 said many times that it's only been tested within the range of five hundred kilometers that's the i.m.f. 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 shown russia anything to prove their claims you know the u.s. has identified a certain missile and claims that it was tested at a distance prohibited by the treaty on data 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 so far there is any europe should try and convince washington to start a dialogue with moscow on how to resolve this dispute no yes no new disproportional to it if some of our european counterparts are concerned they must influence their ally of the united states so that the american sit down with us and start to talk substantively instead of just throwing accusations at us across the ocean with them

we are ready for such a conversation there is already concern at. this point is 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. going to trying to report and that would have. spread.

put themselves on the line. big deal accept the reject. so when you want to be president. i want to. get it right for us this is what the. real people are. interested as it was our. first.

welcome back now international attention is on the opec group of oil producing countries at the moment as they meet in the austrian capital vienna earlier they did announce that they had agreed a cut in production oil producers hope that opec's move will stabilize plummeting prices reports suggest the group has agreed to cut oil by oil production by one point two million barrels a day effective for half a year however the u.a.e. any g. minister has reportedly confirmed that iran venezuela and libya will be exempt from the cuts the price of brant oil jumped five percent on the news opec is meeting after a thirty percent slide in oil prices in just two months one of the worst forms since the two thousand and eight. financial crisis has added interest in these talks after cat are announced on the eve of the meeting that it was quitting the organizations let's get some reaction now from the economist and found with the center of american street studies came out was knee joint just come out good evening t. what's your reaction firstly how significant do you think is this cut if the

reports are true that it will be one point two million barrel. well it's a victory for our back because there is a lot of pressure from the from the american to actually lower the prices to the president of the united states these countries have to look at their interests in light of the huge drop that happened in the past three months we had like. we had a huge drop dramatically request of the american administration all these countries need that karsh and they need their cars to balance their budget some of them years more than others so that for instance the sodas and we'd need like. an oil prices at eighty eight to balance the budget with russia meet it at fifty three dollars to balance the budget versus well only the two hundred so the all around the risk of having

a huge deficit if they don't come to an ugly went on obviously this agreement maybe start this fire service by. the outlook for oil in the short term but you have to see how much pressure american world but of fact specially saudi arabia and other another country to persuade them not to. carry on with this agreement sure i noticed on the list of countries exempted is iran i mean that's not going to please the united states either is it. well obviously iran is not producing very much and it's not exporting very much it's already lost probably fifty percent of its like for export so it's all basically of course the american want to they're there they want to hold their production and they want to hold their. export at all but the reality is maybe the american knows

very well this will put more pressure on the upside for oil prices of course they're not happy but in the end these countries which were exams they have a problem homelike funds well like like libya like iran because of the sanction and some of them because of the war but in the end it's as a victory for for for countries like russia onto the arabian for all back to actually overcome this. volman interference and the politics of opac i think opec non-o. part because russia is a non opdyke but in the end this country needs to actually to have a reasonable profit at the same time they be mindful of the slowdown in the international market the sky ass i was created by the american by

the trumpet ministration actually a rattle of the market worldwide interference in everything from trade towards this is really some time bullying the market and now i think by this decision somehow these countries were able to assert their rights to a fair price and fair agreement has been a compromise eighty think because. they're going to cut production to six months it could have been longer couldn't it presumably after six months old production will increase in the price will fall again is not a fair assumption. it's true it for the short term the short term agreement but in the this country nor the there are the one who's cover for your feel feel the pain specially the sody they know they're going to feel the pain already they feeling the pain because the four of them they are running a deficit and there's the from the deficit will mushroom more if they don't agree

the more of a doctrine especially if they are the one who violated all the agreement by increasing the supply of oil at the request of the american saw my and my as the mode for the interest of these country they have to work whether russia and the country which russia agreed to cut four hundred thousand barrel a day which was there was a moment to balance. the prices of the void and to bring by a somewhat which was lost in the correction. of the three months ok kamau look really appreciate your insights tonight we're going to leave it there then i was can i was in the economist and founder of the center of american strategic studies thank you. you sound just lawyer has turned down a deal to deal struck by the u.k. neckwear door which ecuador's president says would allow the wiki leaks co-founder

to leave his country's embassy in london and marino added that britain has given assurances it will not extradite assigned to any country where he might face the death penalty with more details his. the ecuadorian 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 miranda no has referred to a sunday 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 because during an 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 from 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 u.s. 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 a songe 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. jr songes voiced concerns that he would face the death penalty in the u.s. for leaking thousands of classified documents these include information on civilian deaths in afghanistan and or say cia spy tools is now also the focus of an investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election. songes lawyer called us purveyor says not all the guarantees the former weekly chief needs are provided support so yeah most of wheels the government of ecuador to show us this letter as well as confirm this agreement the fact is that guarantees unnecessary that the songs will not be sentenced to death

but offer guarantees that he will not face a life sentence these guarantees have not yet been provided the only thing we were shown was an official letter from the ecuadorian foreign ministry to the head of the international defense group which is spoken about this message but has not been shown anywhere so far everything is not as simple as it could always government says its claim that assaults can leave the embassy and its freedom is almost guaranteed this was stated in writing but trista rehn no this is not so because assad has been charged by british all thirty's what worries us most is that when he's in the hands of the british government he can be extradited and we already know that there is such a risk given the possibility of interference by the us in the investigation and watching out international thanks for company tonight just come seven thirty here in moscow we're back with more at eight o'clock.
