but i. see that. subscribing to roughly. twelve euros fifty a month. a fourth street. riot seeing sweeps across from.

vehicles fail to keep a lid on the violence also ahead. our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform the liberal international order. vision for the world questioning the relevance of key international organizations and also threatening to scrub major nuclear missile treaty with russia. compliance charged. it's been exactly a year since a rock proclaimed the defeat of in the country but the humanitarian crisis remains among the most volatile in the world according to the norwegian refugee council. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment as well this is the. weekly r t international hello and welcome to our top story the

armored vehicles move through the streets of paris on saturday the first time in more than a decade now as yet more violence gripped the french capital in the latest round of protests by the yellow vest movement there were more than seventeen hundred arrests thousands of riot police used tear gas to try and contain the crowds well despite their efforts demonstrators retard like in a fourth consecutive weekends of all rest.

you know quite extraordinary scenes what began as local protests over fuel price hikes snowballed into a nationwide uprising against the money government but it's not only people in high visibility yellow beds who are showing their frustration part of medics in part as high school students across the country they have all been holding rallies charlotte devinsky has been following events for us and friends. as you can see there is sounding there so i are insane just on the plus still a cold cold as you go towards the national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is a change in france it was implemented two months ago whereby hospitals now you decide to reach ambulance service in france will collect patients on the drive this is a concern that that could write the job's in the future we will always be here even if it means losing our company or losing everything else will be here until the end

of. the last night the elisei government and hence we will be canceling that increase in the fuel tax just as i was off to the french prime minister had gone to the national assembly to say that it would be suspended for six months the president may oppose the new turn on fuel tax hikes would have quelled the angle but it doesn't make any seems to have intensified it with truckers foam is our new students now taking their concerns to the streets. once you close it down would i consider to be a president again some so close trying to deconstruct the while thinking they do and it was all clearly implementing policies i'd written up because he's the

president of the rich we want a president of the war a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest as well. thousands of people have once again come out to protest and there are many demands that they will the government to meet i believe last week there are about five thousand six hundred police officers here this weekend eight thousand in paris alone they go more to gas they're being deployed. at this protest is to try and clear the much of that street where they were causing damage around us just took 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 leading up to that festive season and here we've also had rubber bullets being deployed. very close to us.

he 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 in previous protests the police have generally try to hold back from deploying tear gas and even when they fired objects pelted at them by the protesters they've held back until they feel it's too much today when things are being thrown at them they have been responding immediately and it's not just tear gas it's rubber bullets it's to cannons and of course we have armored vehicles on the streets of paris the first time since two thousand and five this is a rubber bullet it's going to put it in my hands so you perhaps my cameraman alex can get a nice close up look at it for you it's pretty big a little bit spongy at the top the point is the need be quite large the idea it's not meant to have saeco through you like a normal bullet but if this hits you believe me this is going to hurt and it's

pretty scary having these things flying all around you. if you. charge devinsky on the ground in paris yesterday meanwhile french m.p.'s have slammed what they are calling the all acceptable lunch humiliating police treatment of student protesters on thursday after a video emerged that the students in a part of summer being lined up and forced upon their meat. france's education minister has condemned the actions. here following the most violent riots in paris in decades money with. public pressure earlier in the week bundling the fuel tax reforms that ignited the unrest but the protests have already gone beyond just fiscal policies political analyst eric verkaik say as most french people well they're not certain that president is capable of solving the crisis. we have to find

a political solution and. faces which begins today and i'm not sure that a man whom i can't as a good idea of what to do and i'm not sure that you would be do a good man the right man to do right place because a lot of people in france consider that he's not able to lead the country. of all of the people in france in the interest of all citizens and to consider that is the man of minority of the reaches which is a symbol in france off this breakdown was jurist of the people. let's crack on with another big story of the week russia raise the alarm over u.s. threats to poets of a key nuclear treaty with moscow on tuesday saying it may trigger washington's further withdrawal from other significant international accords the intermediate

range nuclear forces treaty was signed in the final years of the cold war production of short and medium range nuclear missiles are prohibited under the pact but the u.s. now claims russia is producing weapons in violation of the agreement adding russia has sixty days to comply or else washington will start pulling out of the deal moscow sais it's in compliance with the treaty unquote the us knows it meanwhile washington this week. it's a vision of the world and its mission to reestablish the world's liberal order it also question the relevance of many other international agreements and organizations. takes us through. it is time for change time for the old ways to die for a new undisputed leader a new american world order our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform the liberal international order the central question that we face is that it is the

question of whether the system as currently configured as it exists today and as the world is this today doesn't work does it work for all the people of the world the old ways out of date united nations is useless incompetent the i.m.f. is obsolete european union pointless all these international organizations unions treaties and agreements the only hinder america a tie its hands and cripple its power the logic is sound when we all be better off if we just had america rule american tends to lead now and always the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty russia is violating it says america others are bound by it it holds limits limits the united states and washington's policy requires it seems more nukes big nukes

foster nukes one country in the world is bound by the i.n.f. treaty us china is not bound by iran has an extensive b.m. capability that but we have global responsibilities in asia in the middle east we have to be responsive to their terms international democracy has failed alliances have failed asians cannot tell. right from wrong everyone wants a say but why let them no longer know what's good for them america is good for them this is what president trump is doing he is returning the united states to its traditional central leadership role in the world and so it seems we enter a new age in age where might makes right without all the fluff and lip service to partnerships and equality the old world order is dead welcome to

a new american age. well former u.s. diplomat jim gent triss believes that polling i doubt the i.n.f. treaty would also undermine u.s. relations with europe i think it's quite likely the u.s. will pull out of this treaty i think the at the end of the story that just finished and my fear were guarding the europeans and how it will affect our relationship with them is they simply do not have the courage or the the strength of character to say to the americans no this is bad for us this is bad for europe this in danger is our security we won't go along with this whatever trumps impulses might be to either have an agreement with the russians and as well as with the chinese to have a better relationship that he has a national security team that is entirely composed of the wrong people and what they want to do is to put russia into an untenable security position and this is

simply one more rock they can throw at moscow and they don't really care with the consequences are that is what my fear is here. it has been one year since iraq claimed victory over islamic state the defeats of a terrorist group came a few months after a rocky armed forces secured control over the major urban areas particularly the country's second largest city of mosul the humanitarian situation though has remained dire as pointed out by the norwegian refugee council in its latest report it sees almost two million people are still displaced the cross the country with eight million more in need of humanitarian aid they also as they thought of children born under islamic state rule are still on recognized by the government we spoke earlier with a member of the group. iraqi security forces are still active in some parts of iraq there are still operate i'm going to get rid of what is left of the

islamic state group one point eight million are still displaced across the country one year over five hundred so zones or there is still needs to be a global effort on reconstruction the budget for the country or for twenty one thousand it's currently being discussed and the overwhelming to allocate only one percent of the budget to the area to most school which used to see to where the where the needs are the biggest is going rate that counts to ten percent of the population of the country it is indeed an except of all dead and to think that millions can be spent and it can be spent on bombs. but not on too many journey and reconstruction just a reminder a u.s. led coalition invaded iraq back in two thousand and three setting off a chain of events that have led to the rise of beisel in the country here's a timeline of things on for that.

to come up. tonight i am announcing that the american combat mission in iraq has ended and the iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country. will take time to read a case of cancer like i said we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. working with the iraqi government.

they arrest of a top chinese telecom executive is threatening to derail efforts to patch things up with the u.s. on trade we've got plenty more besides we're back in ninety seconds. place

. dr vision between. economic consequences as a lot of consequences for people particularly those who live along the border there's a lot of free movement at the moment people move forward there's a lot of economic activity there's a lot of social social activity and we'll see. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic. only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. to a developing story the chinese foreign ministry has someone the american ambassador following the arrest of the chief financial officer of the world's biggest telecoms equipment maker while weight. was arrested in vancouver last weekend up washington's request if extradited to the u.s. she could face a lengthy prison term she's currently in jail for this weekend her next hearing is scheduled for monday. the week began with a worldwide sigh of relief at a potential cease fire in the u.s. china trade war but it wasn't long until one. and its canadian allies crash the

party this arrest can be used as a leverage in negotiations on trade with china it asserts that between two thousand and nine and twenty fourteen huawei used a shell company called sky com to break u.s. sanction laws around exports to iran this is a message from the united states a warning shot action typically reserved for drug lords and arms dealers not corporate executives men one jews the c.f.o. and daughter of the c.e.o. at wal way one of the world's largest consumer electronics companies so why target her while the company has been on the u.s. is hit list since twenty twelve mostly for allegedly stealing american technology and this time canada says one jew is being extradited to face charges of fraud in trying to swerve around u.s. sanctions on iran but the company claims it follows all the rules and the chinese foreign ministry had fighting words for the west calling the move extremely

disgusting unreasonable and a serious violation of one jew's legal rights they demanded her immediate release showing a strong candidate to immediately release the detained person and honestly protect their lawful legitimate rights otherwise kind of domestic sets full responsibility for the serious consequences caused but the canadian prime minister wants everyone to be clear this was done by the book no pressure nada but if you assure everyone that we are a country of independent judiciary and the appropriate authorities to the decisions in this case without any political involvement of the interference as must be the case while the arrest was being carried out the u.s. and chinese leaders were tucking into a couple argentinean steaks at the g twenty and one of cyrus their dinner diplomacy was supposed to fix their months long trade war but. trump's national security

adviser john bolton later admitted he had advance warning of the arrest i knew in advance this is something that we get from the justice department and these kinds of things happen with some frequency we certainly don't inform the president on every one of the 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 scrying 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. let's turn attention now to germany were booked for kindergartens in the country about how to take a right wing sentiment has provoked the wrath of parents they claim it only encourages children to spy on them we are all over the story. it's the season of goodwill to all of. the hill. right there a thought for those on throwing the phones and checking emails at wall of germany's antti racism n.g.o.s received around four hundred fifty hate calls in the first forty eight hours threatening things like terrorist attacks we hadn't counted the exact number of emails but it was around five hundred so what is this all about the organization with the blessing from the german government has produced

a brochure for kindergarten teachers and parents designed to tackle right ideology what to do if a child draws swastikas in class and says they do this that what to do if it's teacher is active on the far right see these are the types of situations and suggestions on how to deal with them addressed in the sixteen page guide why all the hate against it some of the information has rankled to say the least with far right blogs as well as mainstream conservatives a scenario as described where a kindergarten how to deal with children of parents involved with all the right to go away is dresses in braids and the boy faces physical challenges and takes part in drills so what advice do you think was given to kindergarten stuff have a face to face with the parents it should be made clear to what extent all thora tarion in gender stereotypes are renting styles limit the many possibilities of children and complicate their development some were ruffled by the advice quoting

the wearing of dresses and braids with membership of the far right i find it unbelievable that a taxpayer funded brochure identifies girls wearing braids and clothes as potentially nationalist the family minister should have his booklet recalled and revised as soon as possible the anti immigration alternative for germany party seized on the backlash accusing me and geo of promoting secret police methods the ngo denied the allegations saying it didn't mean to cast a. shadow on how kids addressed and also added that the brochure was well received by professionals this is based on true cases trends from long term counseling work which teachers have asked for help dealing with nationalist families on down through the organization behind this brochure on the two women family ministry the best of intentions here however in a country where most people still remember the g.d. teaches to look out for political motivations could prove problematic for all

of our off the building. a lot of focus this week following story a classic christmas song being left out in the cold this festive season baby it's cold outside was first released back in the one nine hundred forty s. but is now increasingly question as to whether it's appropriate in the me to era it's being dropped by reduced nations across the u.s. over its lyrics about a man attempting to persuade a woman to spend a little longer with him. looks well for a no no no i'm going to write very clearly that i'm going to say that i can understand something or if he might. say i don't know. the truck was first recorded for the hollywood film neptune's daughter back in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine it quickly became a hit winning an oscar the following year scores of artists have covered it since well me two activists on the lyrics say their excuse me normalize manipulative and

coercive behavior however others point to many other songs would have to be dropped as well if the same rules are applied. baby it's cold outside is basically a date rape song i'm glad people are finally realizing this. here is your annual reminder that baby it's cold outside is basically a date rape song they won't play baby it's cold outside because it implies rape but they can play this horrible rab music that talks about sex drugs shooting people and cetera these other holiday songs must also be removed as are offensive as well i saw mommy case in santa claus subjecting minors to soft core porn white christmas racist santa baby golddigger blackmail my colleague daniel hawkins earlier through the issue i therof for debate asking whether classic culture is compatible at all with modern values. if this is something that is creating such an

uproar we can't ignore it and also maybe it's reflecting that things need to change and that. maybe maybe things have maybe christmas carols also. has to evolve with our society there are a lot of important issues right now and when we focus on songs like this and trying to get it out i mean we're painting a message that mates who has just become unhinged in going after these christmas songs from the one nine hundred forty s. which yes was a different era but frankly nobody nobody has cared about and so the meter movement wants to stay wants to stay current and relevant and i think that we need to focus on the main issues the biggest issues and stay away maybe from some of the lesser things like some of these christmas songs i think there's a lot of outrage i think women are really really angry the argument that maybe this is a little bit overkill. i think you have to look at that and see kind of what is behind that and what's behind it is you know women want relief women who want change women

want their voices heard reading into the lyrics of the song and also some of. it is have been i've been reading about this it's very interesting to see the different take small as you said it's really a question of interpretation is that it could be taken in different ways i mean i think if you're. a survivor of rape you're going to interpret it that way as a date rape song i think most people are going to study that it's from the one nine hundred forty s. and you know you could make an argument this is that this is a woman who several to celebrating for the actuality and it's really a flirting again and i missed it and i understand and i do understand both sides of this argument i just see really the need to focus on on some of the bigger issues i understand that they're women that are survivors of rape and i do understand the argument i understand the side where we have to look at everything we have to understand because some way if women are truly angry about this and then there must be something to it but at the same time you know i. want to see

a woman who can who can stand strong who can look at the song and say you know what that's not going to bother me i know what my boundaries are i know when to leave for me i feel like it's almost a step back to see all this rage and anger of that i want to see women going you know what we recognize the cultural differences are back that in those in that time that that kind of sucks for back then but think of where we are now and we're going to have a voice political populism a temporary fashion or here to stay delves deeper into the issue next on worlds apart. make this manufactured consensus stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go

round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. in the real news room. you know world of big partisan movies. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
