through the streets of paris on sunday the first time that's happened in more than a decade 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 and the spy third efforts demonstrators wreak tell of a can a fourth consecutive weekend off on rest. was.

well what began as local protests over fuel price hikes snowballed into a nationwide are pricing against the money will mccracken's government and it's not only people in a visible it's a yellow bibs who are showing their frustration part of medics and pars high school students across the country they have all been holding rallies charlotte do is following events for us in france. 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 their jobs in the future we will always be here even if it means losing our company or losing everything was to be here until the end of .

last night the elisei government and hence it will be canceling that increase in the fuel tax just as i was off to the french prime minister headquarters of 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 anger but it hasn't made any seems to have intensified it with truckers foam is our new students now taking their concerns to the streets. once you close you down i consider my home to be a president who's against social rights who's trying to deconstruct the welfare state was all he is clearly implementing policies for the rich because he's the president of the rich we want to president for the poor an aussie

a president who prioritizes the common interest while. 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. oids at this protest is trying to clear them out of that street where they were causing damage around us just took a look at this this tear gas going everywhere we've also heard 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. she 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 take us over 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 that'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 navy's quite large the idea it's not meant to have secrets for 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 want charlotte braving the prison streets for that report what french m.p.'s have been slamming what they are calling me all acceptable and humiliating police treatment of student protesters there was on first a video emerged of detained students in a parra suburb being lined up forced upon their knees. front as education minister . the actions well following the most violent riots in paris in decades among the. public pressure earlier in the week abandoning the fuel tax reforms that ignited the on the wrist but the protests have already gone beyond just fiscal policies political analyst eric for hague so he's most french people aren't certain that president mccrone is capable of solving the crisis we have to find. a solution and. faces which begins today and i'm not sure that the man who in my

current 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 please because they're not to be put in france considered that he's not able to lead to a country. of old the people in france in the interest of all citizens and to consider that is the man of minority of to reach us which is a assembling france office breakdown was jurist of the people and. to another big story of the week russia raised the alarm over u.s. threats to poets of a key nuclear treaty with moscow and choose they saying it may trigger further withdraw 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 pa but the us now claims russia is producing weapons in violation of the agreement adding russia has sixty days to comply or else washington will start pulling our it's all of the deal . well moscow sees it is in compliance with the treaty and quote the us knows it meanwhile washington this week laid on it its vision of the world under its mission to reestablish the world's liberal order it also question the relevance of many other international agreements and organizations as morocco's the if reports. 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 is the

question of whether the system as currently configured as it exists today and as the world is this today doesn't work doesn't 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 they only hinder america piet's hands and cripple its power the logic is sound wouldn't 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 and 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 they 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. we saw off the thoughts of former u.s. diplomat jim just trysts he believes that pulling out of 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 the end of the story that just to finish 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 in kampala 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. ok to a developing story now the chinese foreign ministry house summoned the american ambassador following the arrest of the chief financial officer of the world's biggest telecoms equipment maker while away making one jude was arrested in vancouver last weekend to washington's request if extradited to the u.s. she could face the prison term currently in jail this weekend her next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow monday. the week began with a worldwide sigh of relief at a potential cease fire in the us china trade war but it wasn't long until washington 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 two thousand and fourteen hallway 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

china's 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 i think you assure everyone that we are a country of an independent judiciary and the appropriate authorities to the decisions in this case without any political involvement were interference as must be the case while the arrest was being carried out the u.s. and chinese leaders were tucking into a couple. argentinian steaks at the g. twenty in buenos 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's crime goes 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 sixteen minutes past seven pm this sunday evening here in moscow still lots to come on the program including it's been one year since iraq claimed victory over ice all but millions of civilians have still not returned to their homes the details say ninety seconds plus plenty more. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront ation let it be an arms race in this hearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

you know world of big new law and conspiracy 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. quist art international it's been one year since a rock claimed victory over islamic state the defeat of the 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 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 across the country eight million more are in need of humanitarian aid they also state thaws and some children born andras the mixtape rule are still all recognized by the government we spoke earlier with a member of the. iraqi security forces are still active in some parts of iraq there are still over issues i'm going to get rid of what is left of islamic state groups one point eight million are still displaced across the country one year on five hundred so it seems our average iraqi government. trimmed challenger's big country has been through

two more for three years. while we need to focus on today is to ensure that millions of displaced iraqis are able to go home the need to rebuild schools the need to rebuild be tolls. some parts of iraq are slowly recovering. like most all even if it's still heavily destroyed but other parts like sanjoy for example are still destroyed to up to seventy percent. of the service is. this is why more than two hundred thousand yen cds are still displaced across the country and are simply unable to reach or the budget for the country or for twenty one thousand is currently being discussed and the only lending to allocate only one percent of the budget to the reader to most school

which is the city where the where the needs are the biggest and these governorate accounts to ten percent of the population of the country so it's are from being an of it is indeed an exceptional. to thing that millions can respond and it can be spend on bombs. but not on humanitarian and and reconstruction. it is essential that international of the international community competes he invests as much in the country in the reconstruction and stabilization of the country as he did in the fight against islamic states. their work is far from being done and as of today when i discuss with iraqis in in the terms they really tell me that if you haven't and. since then the islamic state. then these are still there only four or twenty eight eight million iraqis were in need of

a few major ness extends so this is not the time to abandon iraq. just a reminder a u.s. led coalition invaded iraq back in two thousand and three setting off a chain of events that eventually led to the rise of beisel in the country and we've put together a timeline of high things on board it. was a night 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. please. please. please please. please.

a guidebook for kindergartens in germany about how to tackle far right sentiments provoke the wrath of parents they claim it only encourages children to spy on them you know all of our has more on 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 it warn 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 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 and 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 and the german family ministry the best of intentions here however in a country where most people still remember the g.d.r. asking teachers to look out for certain political motivations could prove problematic for all of her off the building. a cluster christmas song

seemingly being left out in the cold this festive season baby it's cold outside it was first released back in the one nine hundred forty s. but is now increasingly questioned as to whether it's appropriate in the me to europe it's being dropped by radio stations across the u.s. over its lyrics of bottom up attempting to persuade a woman to spend the night with. her head looks well on a no no no i'm there i'm all very clearly going to say that i can understand something she might. say i don't know. well the track was first recorded for the hollywood film neptune's daughter in one thousand nine hundred forty nine it quickly became a hit winning an oscar the following year scores of artists have covered it since we two activists say the lyrics normalise manipulative coercive behavior however others point out many other songs would have to be drop. 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 rag music that talks about sex drugs shooting people and cetera these other holiday songs must also be removed as offensive as well i saw mommy q. since santa claus subjected minors to soft core porn white christmas racist sent to baby golddigger black male. well artes done the whole conspiracy i did the post the issue up for debate asking whether cluster culture is compatible 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 try 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 been reading into the lyrics of the song and also some some of the commentators 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 am here today and i understand our audience 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 and 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 over the.
