if. not then you got to meet believe me again with the phone with the computer with the flame. would come to the police story you have to see. the. keep you. going to. come out. standing with a very yellow vests of students across france to take to the streets over education reforms that follows weeks of protests against fuel price increases which forced a government u. turn. the end of an era for germany's ruling christian democrats on the merkel is

replaced by m a gret crompton current also known as a k k. that's true some may battles for her draft to break the 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 for actually being done i but i did last time to such a discussion about will be trying to go over the mess. so actually. the search and rescue ship of the aquarius which has saved thousands of migrants from the mediterranean has announced it is ceasing operations he talks to the project's ordinary. 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 of the risk you would see. broadcasting

live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us. right now police in the french city of leon he used to tear gas had to disperse students protesting against the government's education reforms on friday according to local media reports dozens of arrests were made. i. know students across france have been voicing their opposition to the government's

plans to reform the exam system over the past few days that they have blockaded hundreds of schools forcing many to close and on thursday controversy erupted when a video emerged of police detaining more than one hundred forty student protesters in paris and forcing them all to kneel on the ground a number of lawmakers have condemned the officer's actions as unacceptable and humiliate. you could be. france has experienced its worst rioting in half a century in the past three weeks and although the government has abandoned the fuel tax hikes that triggered the rest of the yellow vests protesters are not satisfied the french capital is bracing for another round of protests on saturday and the possibility of further rioting over increasing living costs emanuel micron's crisis hit government has said that it will not stand for any violence and

is set to deploy eight thousand police officers as well as armored vehicles in central pairs. of all does affect us you 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 offices eighty nine thousand in front so rule this is an exceptional mobilization because we don't want to endanger the republic we. are weeks of protests have taken their toll on the authority of president micron along with his writings from his trial dubinsky reports now. another day another protest in france. by the governments you churn on a few taxwise 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 good no confidence in the french government this second in months from

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 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 the labor will be free companies will be supported an initiative will be encouraged. was that it was a. gamble i'm i will humbly serve our people was.

the fosters a frenchman and french women who feel forgotten would be better protected. 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 off to a just 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 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 of farmers are new students now taking their concerns to the streets protesters here are calling for a makeover to resign was you 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 because he's the president of the rich we want a president for the poor a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest. across was a commission would be a deal parkman's job is to respond to the people's demands unfortunately though in the national assembly where the majority are with a march the deputies follow orders like sheep but we are happy because there are deputies who represent the interests of the people and sort of their models on the market and i don't like him

a lot but the problem is that if you want to make on to resign who are you going to put forward against them so if you have a good candidate that's fine but macrorie sign. let's see what happens is that the great option for corn once penda book entitled a revolution in it he wrote about the quest to reinvent the french nation has a popular policies may just be doing that as the yellow vests movement continues to gain traction problem is this wasn't the revolution the president foresaw nor wanted. 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 mccomb like his two

predecessors has absolutely no new ideas he remains where did the policies that have failed well for many decades in france high tax high spending. european policy relaxed policy on immigration all the costs of these things add up and spending is out of control and so taxes keep going up higher and higher and people have had enough. germany's ruling christian democrat party has just chosen a great crop karrenbauer as its new leader that's after chancellor angela merkel step to down from the role after eighteen years and he's peter oliver reports now from berlin. the new leader of germany's christian democratic union party will be under great. the former prime minister of the state of silent she was going into this vote they're 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 angle of 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. a fight 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 one of the reasons the delegates may have decided that they wanted to go for only going to come 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 friedrich merits 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. and it lands assist with a small a pro european and a francophile she certain to foster 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

the u.s. and ports saying. hadn't been squeaks enough. protein pushes as far as he thinks he will get away with and if you enter in the years done given through and united response she will continue to push we have seen this in the recent years. those policies on both side deals that go 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. maximilian krai former c.d.u. politician and current alternative for germany nominee for the e.u. parliament thinks 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 to see the you wants to become a push you a left liberal party but it would give what a conservative called of germany fully

a mainstay of evil will probably come over trying to suddenly european election in may two thousand on t.v. to see do you have a continue the same style as merkel. desa steps to fundamental change that today's election day brought on the days that means no one can still have to silent to deceive comes back a conservative party so there is just one remaining conservative party in germany and have at last a competitor today doctors without borders is ending its a life saving operations in the mediterranean more on that after a short break this is r.t. international. war there's currency war trade war. going on already with the china artificially

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 they were paying for chinese made stuff and so there was this symbiotic relationship going on so if the question is who's going to be a twenty first century empire. if it's going to be 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. political allegation that it's all meaning. any politician regardless of their beliefs can be labeled a populist isn't politics populism of some sort or another. welcome

back this is r t international and 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 may during a five day debate on whether to vote through the draft breaks the deal on tuesday and there seems to be a mix of confusion panic and anticipation among the british public on the issue. takes a closer 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 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 plaster 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 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 . right now 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 sort of speculating told to you every single day over time bricks and bricks people have often. six for six to anybody figured out of this i'm not very interested in. going to. make it very clear they seem to be very confused thing nobody knows quite what's going on he just did it and i think everything is. a little bit uncertainty i don't think it's affecting anyone yet he does it feel real is going to go on forever i've been

a terrible hope it doesn't happen so if you go back to square one probably it was people who should have got our straight or were you sort of from the 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 party. the search and rescue ship of the aquarius which has saved thousands of migrants from the mediterranean has announced it is ceasing operations doctors without borders which runs the mission blamed pressure from european countries initiated by italy the charity said rome has sabotaged the efforts to save lives. over the last two months the ship has been confined to port in france following allegations the organization 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 is a recap of what happened.

and sister tracy letts response to the situation with aquarius is proof of a form of cynicism and a lack of responsibility on behalf of the italian government when faced with this dramatic humanitarian disaster. my duty is to defend the borders of this country has been that you cannot become a refugee camp you only those who have the right to enter it's legal and it's there are other people so they can go to spain france molds and the netherlands according to the international organization for migration already this year more than two thousand people have died or gone missing trying to reach europe by way of the mediterranean earlier my colleague in india a tutor 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 lee 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 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 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 as 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 profits. of population and with the the ultimate point here is that what what. italian and. and how other

european politicians are seeking is of creating this into a discussion about migration and it is most certainly not a discussion about migration is a discussion about risk you would see. a court hearing in canada has revealed that the chief financial officer of the chinese smartphone giant who way faces from fraud charges in the us mang one jew was arrested in vancouver last weekend and she is accused of circumventing sanctions against iran and faces extradition to the united states if found guilty she could spend up to thirty years behind bars china is calling for meng's immediate release and says her detention amounts to in violation of her human rights court is currently considering whether to release her on bail. the rest of may one jew who is also the daughter of ways of founder has that led to fears of an escalation in the us china trade war shortly before her detention donald trump had expressed hope

that a cease fire was on the horizon and that a deal on import tariffs could be negotiated within ninety days. in the next ninety days china and the united states will carry out 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 increased tariffs this will be done in accordance with the principles of mutual respect equality and mutual benefit. despite that trump has also expressed his willingness to impose more tariffs on chinese goods should the two countries fail to reach a deal that has caused enormous volatility in the financial markets economics professor richard wolfe told us the us president risks destabilizing the american economy. 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 with 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. world. moscow and washington have again clashed over events in syria with russia lambaste ng the us on friday for alleging that it lied

about a chemical attack on aleppo last month the state department says it has credible evidence that there was no chlorine attack by rebels and that the victims were actually exposed to tear gas by regime forces. the russian military can see it is that he sterile who claims by the us state department that the gas attack on civilians by terror groups in aleppo or november twenty fourth was faked as an attempt to pressure the p c w and prevent an objective investigation this statement is nothing more than an attempt to whitewash the international terrorists operating in italy along with the white helmet suter rescuers who with a provocative behavior reflect badly on the west and back in. around one hundred people were reportedly injured in the alleged chemical attack on government controlled aleppo which syrian officials claim was carried out by terrorists in neighboring easily probably russia russia says it has evidence supporting its contention that chlorine was used to mask is has also formally requested the un's chemical watchdog sent investigators to the site to investigate and collect samples

. u.k. has also weighed in on the dispute the foreign and commonwealth office has lent its a port to washington saying it believes it is highly unlikely that terrorists used chlorine against civilians in aleppo we asked journalist vanessa dealy for her thoughts on the issue. this politicized nation or a use of chemical weapons inside syria has been an ongoing theme. with the u.s. coalition have called weaponized thing they strain against the syrian government and its allies particularly russia we've seen the failed attempt to do you know which was the entire narrative produced by that u.k. for in our face propaganda the white house and that was discredited by the adventure p.t.w. report that found none of the chemicals described by much of the mainstream media following that alleged chemical attack i p c w you have always been given free

access they have an agreement with the syrian government to be able to come on to territory that is secured by the syrian government of course they're on the. terrorist power three because of the risk. but as a new theme i when they were given free access to the day i'm a chemical weapon attack so i would pretty given free access to the aleppo site. now that does it for me i'll be back with more news you're watching international stay with us. we've got the economic diplomacy complement all from the book for you to go diplomacy and as i said we did not see that without them shuffle be something some exists is that i have to wait with that it's the difference we've got between the will be on you. when

a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be illegitimate death penalty just because i think that's the parent thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying is just new really hasn't been that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have 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 saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
