ignore the money and most of them love even though some. of them like we lost even this. was an act. of god. but. i believe. standing with the yellow best students across france taking to the streets for education reform follows weeks of protests against fuel price increases which a government new to. the end of an era for germany's ruling christian

democrats. is replaced by alan grads karrenbauer known as a k k. plus theresa may battles on for have briggs 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. has not been done the last time the discussion above will be trying to go. you know. what the problem. will go to morrow but i don't believe. and the rescue ship the aquarius which has saved thousands of migrants from the mediterranean has announced it's seizing operations in the projects coordinating. european politicians are seeking is creating this into a discussion about. gratian and it is most certainly not

a discussion about migration is a discussion about rescue at sea. it's one o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. soon as 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 acceptable and humiliating the police treatment of

student protesters on thursday that's after video emerged of detained students in the suburbs of paris being forced on to their knees. bronzes education minister condemned the footage though adding that the context of the protests must be taken into account the country has seen some of the worst violence in horror for a century with demonstrators rallying for weeks now more protests are planned for this weekend the l a vest writes of seen three deaths and hundreds of injuries nationwide in paris alone shop profits have dropped fifty percent and four million euro of damage was inflicted french retailers have lost around one billion euro since the start of the demonstrations and the government has since backed down promising to scrap its proposed fuel tax however it still introducing exceptional

security measures with visitors 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. there's 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. weeks of protests have taken their toll on the authority of president like along with his writings. reports another day another protest in france. by the governments you turn on

a few taxwise feel like the wings 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 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 will 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. or will be free

companies will be supported an initiative will be encouraged he. was was a. gamble i'm i will humbly serve our people was. the fosters a frenchman and. ranch women who feel forgotten would 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 labelled the president of the rich he's also known for his loose tongue and perceived arrogance he told army generals just. off to a dispute 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 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 earn students now taking their concerns to the streets protesters here are calling the mark or residing on one issue of course 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 president who prioritizes the common interest. across was a commission would be

a deal palms 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 that are there models on the market and i don't like him a lot but the problem is that if you want to make known to resign who are you going to put forward against that. so if you have a good candidate that's fine but america resign. let's see what happens is that the grid of. corn once pended book entitled to revolution in it he wrote about the quest to reinvent the french nation he's unpopular 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. professor of political science at catholic university of the day and john

laughland says the protest movement could 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 maker is providing some rather unexpected

support to the yellow vest movement the soil a bakery in northern france is making sure that demonstrators get their just desserts. in the street in the wake of this movement by the french people we wanted to support them in our all the way to our dismal goods we took the bodies of a classic celebrity and transformed. the sort of article yesterday in a local newspaper but i didn't know it was this bakery i came initially for a sandwich. is.

germany's the ruling a christian democrat party has just chosen karen bauer as its new leader after chancellor angela merkel stepped down from the role after eighteen years artist peter oliver reports from berlin. the new leader of germany's christian democratic union party will be on a great hour the former prime minister of the state of silent 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. and bauer 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. it's the height 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 and fast and to 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 a 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 karen bauer 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 atlanta system with a small a pro european and a francophile she certain 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 prudent hadn't been squeaks enough. times he thinks he will get away with it and if you are in the us done given through united's response she will continue to push for we have seen this in the recent years. those policies and those ideals that got her the votes that put 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. maximillian cry from a cd politician and current alternative for a general nominee for the new parliament things the christian democrats choice of leader eliminates it as a right wing rival to his party. for every conservative in germany it is clear that the see the you want to become a push you are left liberal party but it will give all the conservative scholars germany fully a mainstay of evil probably come over twenty percent in the european election in may two thousand and team to see that you have to continue the same style as merkel and desa steps to fundamental change that today's election day brought on the days that means no one can still have to silent hope to deceive you comes back

a conservative party so there is just one remaining conservative party in germany and. at last a competitor today doctors without borders is ending its lifesaving operations in the mediterranean after this break. we've got the economic diplomacy. from normal diplomacy and as i said we did not consider that the phobia something some minds exists is that i had to wait to thirty three the difference without between the will be in the.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out of the news business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answers. questions. welcome back to the program the search and rescue ship the aquarius which has saved thousands of migrants from the mediterranean has announced its seizing operations doctors without borders which runs the mission plane pressure from european countries initiated by italy the charity said rome had sabotaged its efforts to

save lives for the last two months the ship has been confined to a port in france following allegations that broke the law the italian government accuses those behind the mission of running a taxi service to italian ports by carrying people on the ship here's a recap of what happened. it's ridiculous response to the situation with the. cynicism and the lack of responsibility on behalf of the italian government faced with this dramatic humanitarian disaster. my duty is to defend the borders of this country which cannot become a refugee camp of the right. and there are other. small

. calling to the international organization for migration already this year more than two thousand people have died or gone missing trying to reach europe via the mediterranean earlier i discussed the issue with the aquarius project coordinator dr tom de kock. in the last three months we've had our flag stripped twice. once expressed slee from italian 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 us away from all the will who are at present drowning at sea and you know from the italian perspective they're trying

to control illegal migration to europe that's the perspective that putting so how are they going to avoid returning these migrants back to libya and the other countries that they're traveling 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 in the preamble to creating madness that border states take their. migration very seriously consequently it is left room for populist and right wing politicians to create and still 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. and other european politicians are seeking is creating this into a discussion about migration and it is most certainly not a discussion about migration is a discussion about rescue at sea. u.k. is gearing up for one of the most crucial parliamentary votes in the country's modern history parliament confronted prime minister trace a major in a five day debate on whether to vote through the draft regs that deal on tuesday and there seems to be a mix of confusion panic and anticipation among the british public on the issue and if the sea at york and 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 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 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 tossed a 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 breaks 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 crews are still. right to know that the mess but really going to wait should be getting very messy sons 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 just basically told to you every single day all the time bricks of bricks people. coughing. so it's for everybody to get out of this i'm not sick of it very interesting how does it go it is going to disaster but to make it very clear they

seem to be very confused thing nobody knows quite what's going on to discuss what i don't know that i didn't get into 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. hope it doesn't happen. if you go back to square one probably it was before we should have got our straight or were you sort of front of our picture. 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 if they see a churkin out party fund it. now the u.s. could be considering and tearing up another arms treaty with russia the strategic arms reduction treaty now in as stott that's 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 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 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.n.f. red line however the american intelligence insists that its ranges. actually far greater than that well sir once again said that this is false and also added that

washington's never show russia anything to prove their claims. 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 is any europe should try and convince washington to start a dialogue with moscow on how to resolve this dispute no use then you're just going 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 lot of our putin they believe the american side first quits and then tries to explain why they did so. the neo conservatives led by john bolton does not like any of these arms control agreements and i think that he is try and increasingly to cut back on them and to make them in effective again is to show more of an an american type of superiority and they're just using this missile as a latest excuse if the u.s. pulls out of this treaty like they did the the iran nuclear agreement i think we're going to see some a dramatic arms arms race defensive weapons could easily be turned into often so weapons in in countries. it will be the ones that will realize the most immediate effect because the united states will go off france of in terms of

a buildup. that's all i need to national and thomas will take over the top of the with more but first here a lot international it's politicking with larry king. remember before trade war there's currency war plays a trade war war in the earth you are going on already with the china artificially low to get their exports to the u.s. in a way to build their economy and then the u.s. it worker was losing their job but there are paying less for chinese made stuff and so there was this symbiotic relationship going on if the question is who's going to be twenty first century empire and who's going to whom it was going to the u.s. or china my thought is going to be a coterminous and that both the u.s. and china are going to fall apart.

populism is such a point spread political allegation that it's lost almost all meaning if any politician regardless of their beliefs can be labeled a populist isn't politics populism of some sort or another. a temporary truce in the us china trade war well in the hold and what happens if it doesn't take a look at that on this edition of politics. politicking on larry king after months of escalating tariffs in the u.s. china trade war the nation's two leaders agreed to a ninety day truce following the recent g. twenty summit in argentina details of the new agreement are vague and whatever new

deal was struck between the leaders still needs to be implemented by the administrations who seem to be operating on conflicting information will start there with chris. caton the center for. june labor during the obama administration is now a senior fellow at the university of virginia miller center and he joins us from seattle or i didn't tell you would soon read you as shining the semi's agreement larry any temporary truths in this trade war is welcome but you're one hundred percent right the devil's in the details are right now when you look at the two statements that were put out by the countries after the fact there was a bit of a disconnect it wasn't clear from the chinese side whether they had even agreed on a ninety day period of negotiation they made no commitment about what additional u.s. products they would buy and the president president trump has been talking about

cutting auto tariffs by the chinese and there's nothing at all in the chinese statement on that so a lot still needs to be worked out on their lot in there is one key area. well again i think there's a lot of areas i mean certainly from the united states side there are legitimate issues about access to chinese markets intellectual property protection to a lesser extent currency manipulation by the chinese and so all of these things are part of the broader relationship between united states and china that need to be dealt with when we think about trade issues and then obviously we have this escalating series of tariffs that each side has put on the other's products fortunately for now we've we've put a halt to that but unraveling all this will take a lot of time. is there a woman or a loser here. i look.
