against fuel price increases and which forced a government new turn. the end of an era for germany's ruling christian democrats says is replaced by an iq right. known as eight k.k. . and as theresa may and battles for her draft brags it deal ahead of a critical parliamentary vote on tuesday we asked people in london what they think about the growing turmoil over the situation is not fair actually being done i haven't heard the last of the sudden a sort of discussion about we'll be trying to go look at the mess. and actually do . you know we're not told anything but what the prime minister says is we'll go through it for more open i don't believe. it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t international live from

our studio with me. welcome to the program. shootings across france are protesting against the government's education reforms forcing more than one hundred fifty schools to close in a number of cities the demonstrations turned violent. meanwhile french m.p.'s have slammed as an excel. and humiliating the police treatment of student protesters on thursday after video emerged of detained students in the suburbs of paris being forced on to their knees.

france's education minister condemning the footage though adding that the context of the protests must be taken into account the country has seen as some of the worst violence in harmful century with demonstrators running for weeks now more protests are planned for this weekend the elo best rights have seen a three deaths and hundreds of injuries nationwide in paris alone shot profits have dropped fifty percent and four million years of damage was inflicted french retailers have lost around a billion euros since the start of the demonstrations and the government has since backed down promising to scrap its proposed fuel tax however it's still introducing exceptional security measures within cities to paris for example told to stay away from major attractions like the eiffel tower. in an interview the french prime minister said the government will deploy a dozen armored vehicles to ensure the protests remained peaceful on the streets of

paris the last time such a measure was taken was thirteen years ago little does a form 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 law. we mobilized an important number of police officers eighty nine thousand in france a rule this is an exceptional mobilization because we don't want to endanger the republic. weeks of protests have taken their toll on the authority of president micron along with his ratings chart due bensky reports. another day another protest in france. by the government's u. turn on a fuel tax rise 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 tough no confidence in the french government this second in months. for

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 all of the 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 an initiative will be encouraged he. was that was a. gamble i'm i will humbly serve our people was.

the fosters a frenchman and french women who feel forgotten a little better protected than. i. was. 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 loose tongue and perceived arrogance he told army generals if you were to shift. speech overspend. in 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 for a makeover to residing in luxury corsi doubt 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 that the ridge is the president of the rich we want a president of a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest as well. as concerts ignition it would be a deal more partners jobs 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 are happy because there are a deputies who represent the interests of the people more uncertain of their models it 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 my korea sign. let's see what happens is that their grades of. corn once penned a book entitled a revolution in it he wrote about the quest to reinvent the french nation is a popular policies may just be doing that as the yellow best movement continues to gain traction problem is this wasn't the revolution the president foresaw nor wanted it surely. devinsky arty paris. professor of political science at the catholic university here. in john laughland says the protests may have been because spell the end for micron's 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 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. and one french cake break as providing some rather unexpected support to the yellow vest may have meant the late bakery in northern france is making sure that demonstrators get their just desserts.

the students move in the wake of this movement by the french people and we wanted to support them you know which is no good we took the bodies of a classic celebrity transform. the sort of article yesterday in a local newspaper but i didn't know it was this bakery i came initially for a sandwich. to me is really good christian democratic party has just chosen an upright crown karrenbauer as its new leader that's after chancellor angela merkel stepped down from the role after eighteen years peter reports from. the new leader of germany's

christian democratic union party will be under great. the former prime minister of the state of sol and she was going into this vote there already the general secretary of the party she was given that role essentially the papal blessing if you will from angola merkel the outgoing leader of the party that she ruled over for eighteen years miss crown current power was very much the continuity candidate she is expected to continue to a certain extent the work that angela merkel was getting on with however that may cause some problems because as angela merkel was giving her farewell address to the party conference she pointed out the current state of the party in the state of politics in germany means it's a very polarized and difficult situation that the woman known as a k.-k. is walking into. right 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 the polarized societies one of the reasons that delegates may have decided that they wanted to go for only great crime karrenbauer is the fact that she does have this relationship with angela merkel who of course is going to be staying on as chancellor as she stepped down as leader of the c.d.u. but you'll remain in germany's top job until the end of her term she says twenty twenty one and that may well be the main reason that she beat her contender in the runoff vote because chancellor merkel and mr maritz they have history that goes way back to when angela merkel took over the party in the early two thousand she essentially ousted him from his role within the within the christian democratic union so it's going to be a great time karrenbauer who takes over just who is she and what's her outlook on things the preferred choice of mrs merkel is understood to be an internet camp. known by her initials a k k and it lands assist with a small a pro european and

a francophile she certainty the already tight links with france when it comes to russia she is perhaps even more skeptical of the kremlin the chancellor merkel last week she called for russian ships coming from the sea to be barred from u.s. ports saying let them eat food and hadn't been squeaks enough on the valve. is fine if he thinks he will get away with it and if you are in the us done given through the ninety's response he will continue to push for we have seen this in the recent years those policies and those ideals that got to the votes that puts her across the line one thousand and one delegates voted in hamburg and are going to convince five hundred seventeen of them that she was the woman for the job. the u.k. is gearing up for one of the most crucial parliamentary votes in the country's modern history parliament confronted a prime minister to raise majoring in

a five day debate on whether to vote through the draft bragg's that deal on tuesday and there seems to be a mix of confusion panic and anticipation among the british public on the issue artie's anas to see a child killer takes a look. 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 brags that debates 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 chilling the facts it is a paint a gloucester pseudo brick shit 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 the 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 brags that at all are all being mulled over while the british public grows weary of the uncertainty but this is madness because our stuff. bridget writes you know that the mess not really 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 solo basically told to every single day full of woodside bricks and bricks people . coughing. six for six to anybody to get out of this i'm not sick of it very interesting how is it going it's going to saturation but to make it very clear they seem to be very confusing nobody knows politics going on to discuss what i'm going to do until 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 in the camp hope it doesn't happen. if you go back to square one probably was before you should've got there are straight your worries 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 just as you sure can now party on to. us could be considering and tearing up another change of the russia the strategic arms reduction treaty known as start the concern expressed by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says that it's 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 i think 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 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 reign. was actually far greater than that well sir 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 spark there is any europe should try and convince washington to start a dialogue with moscow on how to resolve this dispute no use the new it is for

according to if some of our european counterparts are concerned they must influence their ally 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 we are ready for such a conversation. 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. they believe the american side first quits and then tries to explain why they did so. international attention is on the opec group of oil producing countries as they meet in the austrian capital vienna earlier they announced that they had agreed to a cut in production or producers hope that opec's move will stabilize plummeting prices and the group has agreed to cut oil production by one point two million

barrels a day effective for half a year added interest in the talks after qatar announced on the eve of the meeting that it was quitting the organization. the price of oil jumped five percent on the news opec is meeting after a thirty percent slide in all prices in just two months one of the worst falls since the two thousand and eight financial crisis however the u.a.e. energy minister has confirmed that iran venezuela and libya will be exempt from the cuts riyadh for his turn will cut half a million barrels per day. economist and founder of the center of american strategic studies camelot's new believes such a reduction is crucial for many opec and non opec members including saudi arabia in light of the huge drop that happened in the past three months we had like. we had a huge drop dramatically that it was american administration all these countries

need their cars and they need their cars to balance their budgets some of them years more than others for this for instance the so does need need like. oil prices at eighty eight to balance the budget with russia needed at fifty three dollars to balance the budget versus well only two hundred. billion a sergeant lawyer has turned down a deal struck by the u.k. in ecuador which ecuador's president says would allow the wiki leaks co-founder to leave his country's embassy in london lennon moreno added that britain has given assurances it will not extradite twenty country where he might face the death penalty with more details now his polyploid. 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 miranda 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 year is 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 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 songe 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 the sanchez 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 on cia spy tools he's now also the focus of an investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election soldiers lawyer carlos providers says not all the guarantees the former we keep leaks chief needs are provided. the government of it could all to show us this letter as well as confirm this agreement the fact is that guarantees on this is theory that the songs will not be sentenced to death for 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. international defense group which is spoken about this message but has not been shown anywhere so everything is not as simple as it could always government says its claim that a song can leave the embassy and its freedom is almost guaranteed in writing but. this is not solely because a song has been charged by british authorities 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. search and rescue ship the aquarius which has saved thousands of migrants from the mediterranean. ceasing operations doctors about. pressure from european countries. by the charge he said had sabotaged its efforts to save lives in the last two months the ship has been confined to port in say falling out of the low the italian government accuse those behind the mission of running. two italian ports by carrying people on the ship according to the international organization for migration already this year. died. trying to. train. i discussed the issue with an aquarius project coordinator dr tom de called

. him the last three months we've had a flag strip twice. once expressed slee time pressure to the panamanian maritime authority most recently we've had a trumped up. waste profiteering. legal process started in catania sicily and it's part of a longer two year smear campaign not just of ourselves but of the whole search and rescue. community if you'd like to refer to it as such all of it attempting to switch the focus onto os away from all the will who are present drowning at sea and you know from the italian perspective they're trying to control illegal migration to europe that's the perspective they're putting so how are they going to avoid returning these migrants back to libya and the other

countries that having from the european union has something called chaos which is a comprehensive european the asylum system. at present there is something called the dublin regulation that dictates that every border nation is responsible for everybody who arrives there the preamble to creating matches that border states take their. migration very seriously consequently it is left room for populist and right wing politicians to create and stoke fear and use what is arguably not a migration crisis the european commission has admitted it's as much. to create fear. the one hundred thousand people crossing the mediterranean is a drop of very very small drop in the bucket. of population and with the the ultimate point here is that what what. italian and other

european politicians are seeking is a creating this into a discussion about migration and it is most certainly not a discussion about migration is a discussion about rescue at sea. named the state department's had that knowledge as his nominee the u.s. ambassador to the united nations the president said she's small she's nice she's all of the things which make a good candidate heather nauert will be nominated. you go work with the daily to. replace the united they can still be ambassador to the united nations very talented very far very quick and i think she's going to be respected by also head there now or will be nominated for the embassador to the united states so we've got heather nauert slated to replace nikki haley nikki haley trump's

ambassador to the united nations is stepping down now heather nauert has been at the state department and it was highlighted when she was confirmed for that position as the spokesperson for the state department that she had no previous foreign policy experience now she's been holding that post for a little while here's some of the highlights of heather nauert at the u.s. state department briefings i don't know if you are working for today or what but i remember one member of the monitor so i got a i could be funny to magnify my. voice. my children are in the back today so i haven't started school just yet so if you see a couple little wild wild man good to see you know you're getting ready for thanksgiving. yes no ok they're small to take in the united states it was. sent to different directions so i had to say that they are you take out your hand from russian i'm going to kill you ok ok enough said then i'll move on.

which is when you get it veered out of there not. a fish because of the russian government they're just asking a question about oh really ok now the trumpet ministration has taken a strong stand regarding issues related to the u. we've seen the usa. withdraw from the human rights council as well as unesco we've also seen the united states accuse the un of being biased against the usa and against israel at this point it is expected that heather nauert will continue those policies no big shift is expected with the new ambassadorship now it's also interesting to note the trouble announced another key appointment and that was the announcement of mr william barr to replace jeff sessions as the u.s. attorney general now william barr was previously u.s. attorney general has held that post before what's most interesting is that william barr has expressed confidence in special counsel robert muller.
