but i know little. about. them and was the time i got. up. i'm. standing with the yellow vests of students across france it take to the streets over education reforms that follows weeks of protest against fuel price increases which forced a government u. turn. the end of an era for germany's ruling christian democrats.

replaced at the helm by. also known as a k.k.k. . and a as recent may battles for her draft of bragg's a deal as head of a critical parliamentary vote on tuesday we asked people in the london what they think about the growing turmoil over the situation is not fast to be done the last time this sort of discussion about will be trying to go you know the mess. also the search and rescue ship the aquarius which has saved thousands of migrants from the mediterranean has announced it is seizing operations to talk to the project's board and. 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. i'm

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm john thomas really glad to have you with us right place in the french city of used tear gas to disperse students protesting against the government's education reforms on friday according to local media reports dozens of arrests were made. students across france have been voicing their opposition to the government's plans

to reform the exam system over the past few days 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 humiliating. if you're. a student demonstrations are taking place alongside a mass protest against rising living costs in france over the past three weeks they have led it to the country's the worst rioting in half a century french capital is now bracing for further yellow vest demonstrations on saturday and the possibility of more unrest and crisis its 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 paris. because of all does

a 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 and. we mobilized an important number of police offices 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 ran along with his ratings reports. another day another protest in france. by the government you turn on a few tax wise 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 from 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 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. or will be free companies will be supported an initiative will be encouraged he. was thank god. i will humbly serve our people god.

because as a frenchman and french women we feel forgotten 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. speech over spend. 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 farmers are new students now taking their concerns to the streets protesters here are calling for a makeover to residing in luxury of course it out 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 he's the president of the rich we want a president for the poor a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest as well. as a concert mission 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 and sort of their democracy is on the mark 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 greats of. corn once penned a 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 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. germany's ruling christian democrat party has chosen and i grabbed a cramp of current bar as its new leader that's after chancellor angela merkel stepped down from the role after eighteen years and his brother reports now from berlin. the new leader of germany's christian democratic union party will be under great calabar the former prime minister of the state of silent she was going into this vote they already did 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. 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. the 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 and fast and with a polarized society one of the reasons the delegates may have decided that they wanted to go for 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 company known by her initials a k k and it lands assist 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 the u.s. and ports saying. hadn't been squeaks enough.

times he thinks he will get away with. the years done given through the ninety's response she will continue to push president we have seen this in the recent years . those policies and those ideals that got her the votes that puts her across the line one thousand and one delegates voted in hamburg and are going to convinced five hundred seventeen of them that she was the woman for the job. x. million cry former c.d.u. politician and current alternative for germany nominee for the e.u. parliament thinks the christian democrats choice of leader eliminated as a right wing rival to his party. take a cheek for every conservative in germany it is clear that the see the you want to become a pua left liberal party but it will give all the conservative scholars germany fully a mainstay of evil will probably come over twenty percent in the european election

in may two thousand and team to see that you have a continue the same style as merkel and ask the steps to fundamental change that today's election day brought that means no one can still have to silent who deceive you comes back a conservative party so there is just one remaining conservative party in germany and that's the f.t. . competitor today. 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 break the deal on tuesday and there seems to be a mix of confusion panic and anticipation among the british public amish parties on association takes a look for exit 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 its 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 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 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 facts 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 breaks it and no deal bracks it a vote of no confidence against the prime minister general election a second referendum and even no progs that are all are all being mulled over while the british public grows weary of the uncertainty but this is madness crews are still. right look at the mess through going through. it should be getting very messy sons i was due to be and still you know so you get the people i'm sick to death of hearing about it absolutely fed up now yet we change the subject yes please give us a break i think you've been called it a bit too much because there's nothing actually been done as a single specifically told to every single day full of outside bricks and bricks to put them off in six for six to anybody to get out of this i'm not sick of it very interested in their cause to go it is going to just you know but to make it very clear they seem to be very confused nothing nobody knows quite what's going on

because it just sounds like i don't have a duty to do until i think everything is a. little bit of uncertainty i don't think it's affecting anyone yet so does it feel real good 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 barbiturate. 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 nails and stacey churkin out party. the search and rescue ship 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 and initiated by italy the charity said rome has sabotaged its efforts to save lives. and for the last two

months of the ship has been confined to port in france following allegations the organization broke the law you telling 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. and sister traceless 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 which cannot become a refugee camp he only those who have the right to enter it's legal and it's there of the poor so they can go to spain france malta 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 of 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 bull 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 are 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 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 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. 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 risk you would see. moscow and washington have again clashed over events in syria with russia lambasted the us on friday for alleging that it lied about a chemical attack on the 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 considers that hysterical claims by the u.s. state department that the gas attack on civilians by terror groups in aleppo or november the twenty fourth was fate as an attempt to pressure the o.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 house rescuers who with a provocative behavior reflect badly on the west and back in. round 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 italy province russia says it has evidence supporting its contention that chlorine it was used damascus has also formally requested that the un's chemical watchdog send investigators to the site to investigate and collect samples . the u.k. has also weighed in on the issue the. foreign and commonwealth office has lent its support to washington saying it believes it is highly unlikely that terrorists used chlorine against civilians in aleppo we asked journalist vanessa billy for her thoughts on the issue. politicize nation and

a use of chemical weapons inside syria has been an ongoing theme of the conflict with the u.s. coalition of course weaponized thing they straying against the syrian government and its allies particularly russia we've seen failed attempt to do you know which was the entire narrative produced by the u.k. for and face propaganda the white house and that was discredited by the eventual p.t.w. report that found none of the chemicals described by much of the mainstream media following that alleged chemical attack. 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 secure by the syrian government of course there are. terrorists hope territory because of the risk to their lives. when they were given free access to the day i'm a chemical weapon attack site they would be given free access to the n.f.l.

site. health ministry says israeli soldiers shot and wounded thirty three palestinians during protests along the perimeter fence on friday dozens of other demonstrators also had to be treated for exposure to tear gas. around ten thousand protesters turned out to call for refugees to be allowed to return to lands now part of israel some demonstrators hurled stones at i.d.f. soldiers and set fire to tires protests have been held every week since the end of march and during that time more than two hundred palestinians and two israeli soldiers have been killed israel continues to justify its use of live fire claiming it is defending its borders. a court hearing in canada has revealed that the chief financial officer of the chinese smartphone giant who always faces fraud charges in the u.s.

on june the was arrested in vancouver last weekend she is accused of circumventing sanctions against iran and faces extradition to the states if found guilty she could spend up to thirty years behind bars china is calling for man's immediate release and says her detention amounts to a violation of our human rights record is currently considering whether to release her on bail. the rest of. it was also the daughter of wall ways founder has led to fears of an escalation in the u.s. china trade war shortly before her detention 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 sites 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. well 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 konami's professor richard roth told us the u.s. president risks destabilizing the american economy and there is the crazy up and down of the tensions with china one day we're on the verge of a breakthrough the next day were threatening one another again the next day we're friends the next day we arrested the executive in canada and the biggest problem about all of that is the uncertainty this kind of crazy uncertainty may be good politics for him but it's crime goes up the economic life part 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. donald trump has named the state department's heather nauert as his nominee for u.s. ambassador to the united nations president said she's i'm quoting here she's smart she's nice she's all other things which make a good candidate heather nauert will be nominated. you go work with nikki haley to. replace the united they can still be ambassador to the united nations very talented very hard very quick and i think she's going to be respected by also

head there now or will be nominated for the ambassador 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 all are working for today or what but i. didn't mind it so you know i can be funny to manage them on the high points. 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 all getting ready for thanksgiving. yes no ok they're small to take in the united states it's mostly

styles sent to different directions so i had to say that they are you take out your hand progression and i kind of like yeah ok ok enough said then i'll move on. which is when you get there to happen they're not. a fish because of the russian government they're just asking a question about oh really ok if you all will give me the grace as they go through my book here because this is. a pretty neat. mistake and. now the trumpet ministration has taken a strong stand regarding issues related to the u. and 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 he's held that post before what's most interesting is that william barr has expressed confidence in special counsel robert muller who is carrying out the investigation into alleged collusion between the trumpet ministration and russia it appears that william barr has called for a what he says is a more balanced investigation team regarding that effort so both of these appointments will have to be confirmed by the u.s. senate and as we saw with kavanagh in the supreme court confirmation hearings in the era of trump the confirmation hearings aren't always as smooth as some would expect a visit from ill be back with headlines in about thirty one minutes here with us as our to generation.

what does the rise of the yellow vests lumen in france tell us about the state of the neoliberal order in europe are the protests in france the largest since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight just about a hike until prices and is the man you will approach the right person to be president to address the problems so many in france.
