any politician. isn't politics populism of some sort or another. the fourth consecutive.

year we've also had rubber bullets being deployed each. still in europe the end of near in germany. after eighteen years at the. us. every. month before. they were. hiding in plain sight where the credible story of a. six informed. welcome to this latest next. thirty minutes with me kevin zero in on his fronts is

dominating the coverage again this weekend particularly paris experiencing now the fourth weekend of those yellow vest protests dubbed the day of rage by the protest movement armored vehicles will sit in the very center of the french capital earlier while the famous shanley's a boulevard was filled with tear gas eight thousand security personnel were deployed to the french capital to prevent violence but as you're about to see it didn't really stop much of the unrest. more than one hundred twenty five thousand people in taking part in those yellow vest protests across the country in the thousands were arrested protests are

ongoing despite president across four five days ago bowing to pressure and cancelling the proposed fuel tax hikes the catalyst for this in the first place our correspondent charlotte do bensky reports next from the french capital. but i'm just checking a look at this this tear gas going everywhere we've also had reports that christmas trees are being burned across paris we are of course in the last few weeks early doing up to that festive season and here we've also had rubber bullets being deployed each. very close to us this is our rubber bullets. but we've also seen people who've been injured in the sean sillies day to day in fact there was a pool of blood at one point i for one person who seemed to have had a mouth injury and we are really trying to move i tell you. it's in very

difficult and it really does get completely and so are you t. is streaming down my face again as a result of tear gas i can't tell you how many times that we've been gassed we're in the middle of it it's what we're trying to have lots of people coming to get to be before you know you should where you go who else but the thing is even when you go where you go girls you still get tear gas everywhere about you there's nothing much you can do other than trying to get out into some fresh air. thousands of people have once again come out to protest for their demands and there are many demands that they will the government to meet a believe more than forty now what started out as a protest movement against a hike in fuel tax that was due to be included in january has now become so so much more people here and it is going to show you here we've got police running down the streets we're not exactly sure why but what we do know is that in the streets just

beyond the protesters were trying to smash up restaurants and shops there and there was a huge amount of tear gas being deployed there actually just at the street you can look now next to that luxury a good shop louis witold and you can also see just a bit further down the street that huge police presence you know because that is one of the things we really noticed this week is in the previous weeks i believe last week there are about five thousand six hundred police officers here this weekend eight thousand in paris alone they go more tear gas they're being deployed at those protesters to try and clear the much of that street where they were causing damage in previous protests the police have generally try to hold back from deploying tear gas and even when they've had all jets pelted at them by the protesters they've held back until they feel it's too much today when one achieves things against. and them they have been responding immediately and it's not just

take us it's what the bullets it's our water cannons and of course we have all made vehicles on the streets in paris the first time since two thousand and five thinking thank you one of the things we've heard from some of those you may sure was is that the violence that we've seen over the last few weekends here in paris and elsewhere in front have actually been caused by people from the stream life and the extreme right and actually should be shown movement is a peaceful movement that's that's what they tell us i mean we have seen a lot of violence in the streets the idea is that the police had quddus to swing stopping people from getting into areas before they'd had check in searches going on if they felt that they had any material any weapons on them than they were taking them away as a preventative measure. many

people i've spoken to over the last week said if after the first protests corn turned around and said ok we're going to cancel the fuel tax that might have been enough that this is turned into something much bigger this is a spontaneous social movement in france and now the two months are increasing the time the last say look there were more than forty which includes well they want things such as a minimum pension they want it to be raised they want the minimum working wage to be raised him problems they want there to be a massive overhaul of the tax system in front those are just some of the demands and that list goes on and on and actually the recent it seems an official list because the jelly the yellow vest themselves are a split movement. say that the yellow vest movement is split it's fractured in fact this week a new group has emerged the yellow vest or the free yellow vests and they say that they are prepared to talk to the government. other yellow vests say they're not

with us they don't represent us and in fact when the yellow best movement actually elected some spokespeople in the last few weeks to try and deal with the document they decided they were going to go and have a check with the french prime minister and they in fact cancelled that because they got death threats to the idea that they would even negotiate with the government. meantime france isn't alone in europe are facing discontent on the streets these pictures route from belgium police there arrested road seventy trying to start their own yellow vest protest a brussels police spokesperson said the demonstrators did not have permission for that rally. germany's ruling party the christian democratic union has a new leader described as a mini merkel a name isn't

a great current she was elected during a party vote on friday replacing chancellor angela merkel who's stepping down from the role after almost two decades at the helm peter all of our europe correspondent reports from berlin. and a gret will be the new leader of the christian democratic union party here in germany. fredricka 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 conduit 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 angela merkel held before she went on to lead the party eighteen years ago now mrs merkel did give

a very emotional speech and for 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 a party and a nation in very polarizing times. 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 to 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 all the 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 she rose to power but just who is. the

new leader and what she all about the preferred choice of mrs merkel is understood to be. known by her initials a k. k. and it lands assist with a small a european and the 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 seeing plenty of food being squeaks it. was on the prowl for. things he will get away with and if you are in the years time given through united's response she will continue to present we have seen this in the recent years and its 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 form a cd a politician makes money and crowd is now an e.u. parliament nominee for the germany party thinks the christian democrats choice of leader eliminates citizen rights of center rival to his party no. for every conservative in germany it is clear that the c.d.u. wants to become you are left liberal party but it will give all the conservative scholars germany fully a d. that means of evil probably come over twenty percent in the european election in may two thousand and thirteen to see that you have a continue the same style as merkel and there is the steps to fundamental change to election day brought on the means no one can still have to silent to deceive you comes back conservative party so there is just one remaining conservative party in germany and. at last a competitor today. from

a jihadist mastermind a bomb maker to m i six double agent on the front line and dave spent almost a decade camped in with al qaida then switch sides become a british intelligence spy catelli artie's going underground shows got incredible story of this guy becoming disillusioned with a terrorist cause and then having his cover blown is some of the interview which you can watch in full if you want to it r.t. dot com. that letter which was sent to bill clinton it was edging him to invade iraq and to make it a beacon for democracy and to establish american hegemony they were just a think tank they put that letter and i will have some muscly blood as deputy 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 that we should give them up.

because then they can invade afghanistan that kind of a that off that kind of somalia and elsewhere that's exactly where we want them to be because we need the bulldozer you know we don't own a bulldozer but they are the bulldoze 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 this is not international live from moscow thanks be with us this morning or if you choose to run the world stories ahead russia's federal security service is given a full breakdown of events following the clash the running of the russian and ukrainian ships she recalled close to crimea two weeks ago and there are some news when we come back.

remember before trade war leaves a hot war there's currency war plays a trade war the hot war and the current you are going on already with the china peg artificially to get their exports to the us in a way to build their economy and then the u.s. it worker was losing their job but they were paying a lot for chinese made stuff and so there was this symbiotic relationship going on so if the question is who's going to be the twenty first century empire and who's going to lose 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.

i just have to propose midnight moscow time so russia's security services have been speaking about the quote provocative nature of the ukrainian ships involved in those clashes in the strike two weeks ago now to give more details on the instant that almost a conflict between the two nations in the crimean peninsula as you did a coach never explained. russia's f.s.b. coast 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 a 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 assad 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 cook strait have been effective for more than twenty years and they have always been observed by both russian and ukrainian ships the ad has been goes gars 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 colvert op when you put it in 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 conclusions 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 servicemen as prisoners of war as they do it in accordance just on up in recent times the ukrainian side has attempted to present its officers as war prisoners to 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. some new information was also revealed at the briefing regarding zones on board of the arrested ukrainian vassals russia's f.s.b. said that the residents of the ukrainian city of. produce 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 the now this whole operation was called to be an outrageous provocation that endangered over eight hundred civil ships

stationed at the port the sounds of the moment remind of the respective positions inside ukraine says it ships were intercepted while they were outside of russian territorial waters further their claim they notified russia of the ship's passage on the other side moscow denies receiving any notification from ukraine and says the ship intentionally ignored orders to stop further russia says the ships were following direct orders from the ukrainian government. israeli military says it's opened an investigation into soldiers firing tear gas at schools in the contested west bank it comes after a video obtained by israel's her rhett's newspaper apparently shows an i.d.f. soldier targeting a school building. been numerous complaints from palestinian authorities of the tear gas and stun grenades being fired into school property in an earlier interview with eretz an i.d.f.

spokesperson denied the incidents never happened he said weather conditions would have blamed for this chemical smoke drifting into the rain. as a rule no tear gas is used against 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 in accordance with the operational needs and regulations and that the incident is under investigation under a farmer spoke to cultural studies professor mehmet he's based in the west bank he says the israeli military deliberately targets this kind of facility. israeli troops as well as the settlers are always. having these kind of atrocities against the schools. and specially the schools which is within the perimeter. controlled by the israelis and the settlers are targeting schools in particular so

the parents will take their children out of the schools by crime the school would be empty and by then they can't control the school because they are in the area which is very close to the. and that was the end to take over these areas and they also say that soldiers have to experience a lot of provocation and children for their soldiers is that the case i don't think that all these excuses are standing in front of the reality especially in this particular case when there was some someone or you know like videoed what happened and proven that they were not actually lying about the reasons and also the excuses are lame because there were some footage showing exactly what happened and that the israeli were throwing this great inside the school. that only ten states in the united states with being a legislator is considered a full time job in others nothing prevents you from pursuing a business career while having a say on the rules that regulate industry leading some to worry about therefore

a potential conflict of interest. everyone is sort of shaped by who they are and do i'm someone who represents business and that shapes my views sometimes. it's not a conflict of interest and we know it's not because the house rules make it clear and so does louisiana state. i'm sponsoring the bill for all return pharmacists in the street or for mom i'm

just one little person time one little spoken who we. have let state government and federal governments get so big that it has the ability to give out special favors in the first place when you have a government that can give out special favors you're going to attract this type of behaviors what we're seeing happening at higher levels is basically a reflection of that culture we need to change that culture that says it's ok and instead say listen the government should not be giving money or special favors to anyone it is corruption at the when the worst way and we need to stop it the people who benefit from the special favors also write the laws so of course they don't change the laws the laws continue as long as the law makers can get special favors

from the law. the british teenager has been jailed for three years from a hoax bomb threats the nineteen year old emailed hundreds of schools need made a prank call about a hijacked plane. think prank calls are funny think again a british team is heading to jail for three years after sending out thousands of fake bomb threats to schools in the u.k. and us we have sent a student with a bomb the bomb is said to go off in three hours time and pulling off a security scare on a transatlantic flight to the states that had to be quarantined upon landing after the prankster pretended to be a concerned father of a child onboard and claiming the plane was hijacked all from his bedroom in hard for church north of london. airport. again.

like. the nineteen year old lived with his mother and sister and had no previous convictions the plain prank calls george juco in two years in prison for the schools allegedly being planted with bombs and other twelve months inside thousands of kids had to be evacuated from four hundred locations across the u.k. then the hoaxer sent out another fake warning to schools both in the u.s. and u.k. even after being arrested he pled guilty to three counts of big bomb threats while accepting he had autism spectrum disorder the judge said he knew exactly what he was doing you were playing a game for your own perverted sense of fun in full knowledge of the consequences the scale of what you did was enormous the national crime agency made a point that the three year sentence was a warning to others this investigation proves start operating online does not offer offenders anonymous she. now has

a criminal record which will harm his future career prospects on this should act as a deterrent to others the series of pranks gone too far with irreversible consequences for the trickster and as i said r.t. london. you know this is so far from me kevin i mean keep up to date with all the trouble snow in paris recently asked he seems there again this weekend bit calmer now we can report that it looks like the situation is still potentially volatile not over yet follow it all and r.t. dot com here in moscow coming up to twenty six minutes past midnight is kevin wishing you a great rest of the weekend. populism is such a low 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 all politics populism of some sort or another.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be no and the death penalty just because i think that's the fair 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 no way that hasn't been that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep 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 and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't their way. with no make this manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the room

in clusters and protect themselves. in the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. going the whole middle of the room six. million real news. the a. good. he has a saying. a few there on the cheap bus and then through and through all that country stuff let's ideas they're right let's go to a sculpture he said if you give them everything slipped into bust. this country. this is what we don't understand how we have to walk in such

a country. let us into the minds of the us in time to. notice a non-governmental. the soon to run off with a similar similar. why do you need one leg of the us if you feel if the middle of on board not that god can we believe again the melody with the phone without the computer without the plane. would come back to the three story you'd have to see. at any of the best the. jews who. joined me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

what politicians do something. i put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be cross that's what before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the cottage. and there should. be. hales one woman what is the most he was a muslim and give you an i'm not a middle kick well let's get a little group or it was one of them and get them on mammals he stands here then we had not the goal we had all the qualities get on through group oh yeah it was one of the parts almost didn't want to give up one of the not so little spree middles kid.
