it was. similar. if. they got. the phone or the. plane. would come to the police story you have to see. if you. are french police used tear gas against protesters a fourth consecutive weekend of so named yellow demonstrations in our

correspondent guest are standing by also coming up it's the end of an era in germany after nearly two decades. christian democratic union party she's replaced by. current. everywhere in london i would see you know who i met before in the whole of the philippines and afghanistan what are they doing there what do they wear here because it was so easy for them to open a hiding among the ranks of notorious terrorists we hear the incredible story of a mom who switched from being a trusted paul maker to informing on the feared. m i six. the israeli defense forces continue to deny. schools despite the video emerging allegedly showing officers launching a study. into

a school building in the west by. live from moscow every hour of the day this is our international my names you know me a welcome to the program our top story fears grow over a mosque violence in the french capital police have moved quickly to use tear gas i can see yellow vests and the movement has called this sunday a day of rage and want to mark the fourth weekend until the government rallies. i. felt was right.

well let's get a sense of what's happening right our live pictures from the french capital as you're seeing a lot of smoke on the streets we know that earlier at least have used tear gas to try and disperse but also some kind of reviews by protesters as well so this is what is happening the husband going on for a number of hours now the eighth of december remember one of the busiest days of the year in the build up to christmas you're not going to see a lot of tourists aren't on the streets what you are seeing are those yellow vest protesters so let's get a sense from charlotte dubin ski exactly what he's going on there charlotte do tell us how the situation appears to be unfolding on this the fourth straight weekend of on the grass there. well we're on the seans leads and i want you to look

directly behind me you might be able to see some of the t.v. gas this dispersing down the shoes that he's a just before we came on that there was the latest raining of tear gas pellets coming down amidst the protesters this is been going on since early this morning as the police are trying to keep the situation under control here this is one of six of the main protest groups across the city of paris today other areas such as the past the last of the public and you get a sense of how big of the police presence is here trying to stop any protesters from getting close to this iconic site the up to two fields behind me as you can see there are two of the on the tanks that we were told that were going to be used for this demonstration today the first time that these tanks have been brought into paris since two thousand and five and that's because the government was expecting

a mass day of violence just look police ever in fact we're not just crute to talk you just see there's a third one that's just arrived here and as you can see the protesters as usual they are being kept on to the streets and far away from this monument we also know that more than three hundred people have been arrested the smalling people who were carrying items that were considered to be dangerous into the protests so some people who carrying gas masks but didn't have press cards others carrying project does that they could through and there's a sense that those arrests the smalling might be able to stem some of the newest violence that was expected let's take a look now at what happened last weekend here in paris on that day of violence.

well again more tear gas being dispersed behind us only a you might have just saw those pellets of tear gas being released there now president mike corn has been accused of not speaking directly to the protesters something that many of the say they want him to do so far he stepped quiet but we do know that the president is due to make an announcement next week the reason why i put that announcement off is apparently he didn't want to inflame any of the tensions here on paris for the moment the police look like they've got the situation largely under control many of the protesters standing just shouting not

seeming to be creating too much havoc but it's very early in the day here in paris and as we've seen in previous protests many people end up getting frustrated by the fact that they're being stopped by the police from moving for the moment we are maintaining our presence here as the government has warned that they think this is could be one of the most violent days the actually has you saying that you might just hear some of the screams in the union. it seems as again more tear gas is being dispersed and the difficulty with what's happening right now is that the protesters seem to have very few places to go and it's incredibly difficult as we know from personal experience being caught up in the tear gas yet thanks for giving us a sense of also what the sights the signs of what's happening there just after midday now charlotte dubin ski from the french capital ok let's get some analysis on the

situation and go back to participate as we're told by french publisher and journalist emerick more veal emerick we spoke last weekend we saw some very hefty images a lot of violence on the streets a lot of unrest a lot of unhappiness do you see this going further. yes with all this violence that they deployed when you see all this large armored vehicles it was not. it was for the first time in paris it was used in two thousand and five but it only in the suburbs was the first time in paris to use these tanks i must say eighty eight thousand truck and policemen were deployed next week it was only five thousand and in the whole country it's eighty nine thousand policemen and. it's for its side one policeman for one won't throw demonstrators if it's not like creating posturing a civil war i don't see wanted to use and you can see that there was an m.p.

who accused the minister of the interior of creating provocations of having created these provocations among the arctic trip due to your the minister under your student here but but when you see you saw the ben and it was like creating a presidential militia compared to a republican you you have a famous researcher all over the world and we're told it was talking about the risk of a military coup to tell it's really serious the situation is very serious that's quite incredible language is it that that is coming from an official seeing that as a possible thing to occur in parlous where you are no cites landmarks close we've spoken to a number of tourists they're afraid they're not going out on to the streets as i mentioned before it's one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the build up to christmas how dangerous is this emerick. i love the most dangerous is the violence of the state most of the violence of the people and when they speak about

a real military coup d'etat we much to take it very seriously and the signs are present it's very worrying of course this threat as she is to let this prime minister taking the rap like you did all those this week because there was this week. there was a lot of confusion cement a lot of concessions but it was very it was too late people wanted to go away and maybe we'll speak next week but it's too late he has to go let me put this point to you though because we're seeing some of the pictures as i'm speaking to you live pictures and there is unrest there is tear gas in the air as well are some of the protest you think have there been hijacked for for for a violent. yes it's true that they prevented me arrested people on the bush picked them up and put some some of them in custody i think it's certs about five hundred right now. i don't think these are democracy methods maybe some had

some. sort of some obstacles you could be dangerous but it's only be bold was who. try to protect them for chicken as i think it's it's normal it's a way to crack down on people one of the constants we've seen and yourself and myself i've spoken about this in the last number of weeks among you will mccrum the french president he didn't seem to be at the beginning to give in to the protests then he made concessions and now he said as you said that he will give a speech on monday explaining that his administration don't want to inflame things by doing so today tell me how you judge for weeks and months into what is happening now his handling of the unrest today but the problem is that with all these biases there has been a lot of sometime that people use if someone happens right now it comes to violence with the people today i think i probably have to really with all this repression with the lack of consent of the of the whole people if you spray you with fire with

this kind of repression this kind of of law enforcement's device he will have to go if you. if you continues like that all right the thoughts of emerick french publisher and journalist giving us some analysis of what is happening in his home city of paris today. well protests have been spreading across france with the city of leone already holding demonstrations or branson very different scene there today as french based political analyst nicholas markovitch explained we're in the second biggest city in france and actually it's extremely peaceful there's no violence there's no police pro provocation and actually a lot of people take you to hockey you can hear them happy this is all about it's a ninety five percent about what the yellow jacket movement is about through columns social media you see that and in war you'll see that in say for you to lose a lot of things that are having very very peaceful demonstrations night this ones

where the yellow jackets are opening the tools and making them free so of course they're making the movement very popular unfortunately reason mainstream media doesn't want to show these images. when our correspondent we're keeping a very close eye on developments in parlous we will bring any new offense to you of course on the program but for now let's move on to more headlines this hour germany's largest party the christian democratic union has a new leader described as a mini merkel on a gret trump card and bauer was elected during a party vote on friday replacing chancellor angela merkel who's stepping down from the role after eighteen years at the helm our europe correspondent peter olafur reports on this from burg. and a gret will be the new leader of the christian democratic union party here in germany. friedrich a mess in a runoff vote to take the party leadership picking up five hundred seventeen votes

from the one thousand and one delegates that were voting in hamburg she is pretty much it certainly was billed as the continuity count it heading into this election she was given the blessing by angola merkel the outgoing leader of the party after eighteen years when mrs merkel put miss crime karrenbauer in the position of general secretary of the c.d.u. interesting enough the same position angle of merkel held before she went on to lead the party eighteen years ago now mrs merkel did give a very emotional speech in phone at the opening of the party conference in which she said whoever takes over from her is going to have a difficult task of pulling together and uniting the party and the nation in very polarizing times in 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 of us and with the polarized societies well certainly one of the

reasons why you miss karrenbauer bay well of being voted in by those delegates is the relationship she has with angola merkel because although chancellor merkel has stepped down as leader of the c.d.u. she hasn't stepped down as chancellor and the two will have to work together very closely opposite side of that of course would have been if through to commit to get near. him mrs merkel do have a history in fact it was chancellor merkel that essentially ousted him from the c.d.u. party leadership way back when when she rose to power but just who is under great power the new leader and what she all about the preferred choice of mrs merkel is understood to be an internet company. known by her initials. and it lands assist with a small a pro european and a francophile. 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 to be a food haven't been squeaks enough. times he thinks he will get away with and if you are in the us has done given through united response he will continue to push for we have seen this in the recent years and it's those policies that convince the five hundred seventeen delegates out of the one thousand and one casting their ballots that it was a k.k. that should be taking the c.d.u. forward. million cruft a former c.v. you 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. with a cake for every conservative in germany it is clear to see the you wants to become you are left liberal party but it will give us water conservative scholars germany

for the. evil. 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 there is the steps to fundamental change that action they brought means no one can still have to silent to deceive you comes a conservative party so there is just one remaining conservative party in germany and. at last a competitor today. russia's security services have been speaking about the quote provocative nature of the ukrainian ships involved in clashes in the kurts trait two weeks ago they gave more details on the incident almost sparked a conflict between the two nations on the crimean peninsula ortiz medina. brings us more russia's f.s.b.

calls guard hold a briefing here in moscow where the course of events that took place in november the twenty fifth was outlined in details of the f.s.b. you called this incident to clear provocation and a very dangerous one however it added that incidents of such sort happened before on a numerous occasion in the past two years now russia's f.s.b. coast guard said the proper procedures and rules for passage haven't changed and before there's been no misunderstanding. it's necessary to stress that the rules of passage through the strait have been effective for more than twenty years and they have always been observed by both russian and ukrainian ships the others because guards said that there were ammunition and weapons found on board of the arrested ukrainian vessels that exceeded the standard load and also documents that said that that should have been a call for an op would you put it on the first note of during the inspection of ukrainian ships a document was found which orders and this is

a quote to make passage through the coach straight. out of the russian navy and f.s.b. supervision the main goal is to covertly pass through the cut straight end of quote you can make your own conclusion. russian court issued a decision ordering that all of the twenty four ukrainian servicemen arrested and the incident be held in custody for two months while the investigation is underway all of the men who were accused of trust passing ukraine calls this an act of aggression russia's f.s.b. says that the country is trying to picture that servicemen as prisoners of war as they do immigrants because they don't know in recent times the ukrainian side has attempted to present its officers as war prisoners or those detained ukrainian sailors are charged with criminal offenses and according to the geneva convention neither can hold war prisoners while russia and ukraine are not in a state of war but some new information was also revealed at the briefing regarding

zose on board of the arrested ukrainian vessels russia's f.s.b. said that the residents of the ukrainian city of dawn yanek them saying that he had recognized one of the ukrainian security serviceman who was on board of the vasella as a person who allegedly tortured him all in all this whole operation was called to be an outrageous provocation that endangered over eight hundred several ships stationed at the port just approaching twenty minutes into the program still lots to come including a cultured other nightclub and it's latex a fatal turn eighteen months after a similar incident in sure in details not just. our

. hope is a way to spread political allegation that it's almost almost well meaning if any politician regardless of their beliefs can be labeled a populist isn't all politics populism of some sort or another.

twenty one minutes past two pm here in moscow this welcome back to the program from a job this must remind a bomb maker to m i six double agent on the frontline a mundane spent almost a decade in with al qaida switching sides to become a british intelligence spy or to show going underground house his incredible story of becoming disillusioned with the terrorist calls and having his cover blown you can watch the full interview on r.t. international fourteen thirty g.m.t. your quick preview. that letter which was sent to bill clinton it was urging him to invade iraq to make it a beacon for democracy and to establish american hegemony they were just

a think tank the. house of mostly beloved is the party seized on it seized on it and he said that the american administration. would not do this unless if there was an event on the magnitude of pearl harbor so he said we should give them up. because then they can invade afghanistan that kind of a that off that kind of a somalia elsewhere that's exactly where we want them to be because we need the bulldozer in a we don't own a bit of those little but they have to build those that we need to provoke the bulldozer owner to come in and to smash the old structure out of nationalism communism whatever you want to call it socialism they must smash it in order for us to build an islamic structure. let's turn attention to its lee were half a dozen people have reportedly been killed during

a stampede other night club near the eastern city of kona police said dozens of people have been injured some critically reports suggest the stampede was triggered by pepper spray being used in the club but the official version has been released so far revelers were packed in for a concert at the venue to see a famous italian rapper those injured been receiving treatment at the scene while ten people are believed to be this moment in a serious condition. the israeli military says it's opened an investigation into soldiers firing tear gas at schools in the occupied west bank it comes after a video obtained by israel's however its newspaper apparently shows an i.d.f. soldier targeting a school building. thank you. there's been numerous complaints from palestinian authorities over tear gas

and stun grenades being fired into school property in an earlier interview how that son i.d.f. spokesperson denied the incidents had ever happened he said weather conditions were to blame for the chemical small thing into schools. as a rule no take gas is used to get schools however the changes in weather must be taken into account and some of the tear gas smoke might dispersed with the wind in different directions when asked about this latest video the i.d.f. said they act according to operational needs regulations the incident is under investigation by colleague under a farmer spoke to sound namir cultural studies professor from birzeit university who say the israeli military deliberately target the facilities israeli troops as well as the settlers are always. having these kind of i thrust these against the schools. and specially the schools which is within the body which.

is where you are targeting schools in particular saw the parents with children out of the school by crime this would be a. lot of this is because they are in the area which is very close to the. and that was the. they also say that soldiers have to experience a lot of provocation and children throw rocks at their soldiers is that the case i don't think that all these acoustic uses are standing in front of the reality especially in this particular case when there was some someone well you know like you would what happened proven that they were not i would be lying about the reasons and also the excuses are really because there were some. sure we exactly what happened. inside the school. ok just before we go to some great pictures let's get a check of what is happening in parra stays are live pictures right now live from
