we've come to the story. to see. the. june. fourth weekend of mass riding sweeps across france says thousands of police officers armored vehicles failed to keep a lid on the violence. our mission is to reassert our.

liberal international order washington outlines its vision for the world questioning the relevance of key international organizations and also threatening to scrap a major nuclear missile treaty with russia over alleged noncompliance a charge moscow strongly reject. it has been exactly a year since iraq proclaimed the defeat of the country but humanitarian crisis remains among the most volatile in the world according to the norwegian refugee council. international i'm sean thomas have you with us as we recap of the week's top stories. armored vehicles moved through the streets of paris on saturday the first . time in more than

a decade has yet more violence gripped the french capital in the latest round of protests by the yellow vest movement there were more than seven hundred arrests as thousands of riot police used tear gas to try and contain the crowds despite their efforts demonstrators wreaked havoc in a fourth consecutive weekend of unrest. but. it was. what began as local protests over fuel price hikes snowballed into a nationwide uprising against emanuel micron's government and it's not only people

in the high visibility yellow jackets who are showing their frustration paramedics and paris and high school students across the country have been holding rallies as well or to be trouble dubinsky is following events for us in france. as you can see there is sounding names so i ring say it i just on the cross silicone cold as you go towards the national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is a change shame france it was implemented two months ago when my hospitals now you decide to reach ambulance service in france will collect patients on the drive is a concern that that could threaten their jobs in the future we will always be here even if it means losing our company or losing everything will be here until the end of. last night the elisei government and hence it will be cancelling 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 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 foam is our new students now taking their concerns. to the streets. the. ones you cause you doubt i consider my home to be a president who's against social rights who's trying to deconstruct the welfare state was all clearly implementing policies for the ridge because he's the president of the rich we want to president for the poor a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interests while. thousands of people have once again come out to protest and there are many demands that they

want 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 tear gas they're being deployed at those protesters are 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 early doing up to that festive season and here we've also had rubber bullets being deployed. very close to us. my. tea 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've had objects pelted at them by the protesters they've held

back until they feel it's too much today when one or two things have been thrown at them they have been responding immediately and it's not just tear gas it's rubber bullets it's our water cannons and of course we have all made vehicles on the streets in paris the first time since. she says and i'm fully this is a rubber bullet that's going to put it in my hands saying 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. quite large the idea it's not meant to free you like a normal bullets 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 meanwhile french m.p.'s have slammed what they are calling the an acceptable and humiliating police treatment of student protesters this happened on

thursday that's after video emerged of the students in a paris suburb being aligned up and forced on their knees planted education minister has condemned the bees actions following the most violent riots in paris and decades of mental macron bound to public pressure earlier in the week and abandoned the fuel tax reforms that ignited the unrest but the protests have already gone beyond just fiscal policies political analyst eric very hague says most french people aren't certain that president micron is capable of solving the crisis we have to find a political solution and it's departed to confers this which begins today and i'm not sure that emanuel michael is a good idea of what to do and i'm not sure that you would be 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 the people in front of all citizens and to consider that is the man of minority of the reaches which is a assemble in france offer this breakdown was jurist of the people of. switching gears now russia raised the alarm over u.s. threats to pull out of a key nuclear treaty on tuesday saying it may trigger washington's further withdrawal from other significant international courts and 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 that agreement adding that russia has sixty days to comply or else washington will start pulling out of the deal. moscow says it's in compliance with the treaty and to quote the us knows it

meanwhile washington this week a laid out its vision of the world and its mission to reestablish the world's liberal order it also questioned the relevance of many other international agreements and organizations as our correspondent but i guess you have comments. 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 as the world is this today doesn't work doesn't work for all the people of the world the old ways are 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 they tie its 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 in the middle east we have to be responsive to their terms internet. arsenal 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 the 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 former u.s. diplomat jim johnson 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 finished and my fear would of 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 what the consequences are that is what my fear is here. it's been one year since iraq claimed victory over islamic state the defeat of the terrorist group came a few months after iraqi armed forces secured control over the major urban areas particularly the country's second largest city of mosul and the humanitarian situation though has remained

a dire as pointed out by the norwegian refugee council in its latest report it says that almost two million people are still displaced across the country with eight million more still in need of humanitarian aid and also state thousands of children born under islamic state rule are still on recognized by the government earlier we spoke with a member of the aid group. iraqi security forces are still active in some parts of europe there are still operate i'm going to get rid of what is left of islamic state groups one hundred ten million are still displaced across the country one year on five hundred thousands are in panic the iraqi government faces tremendous challenges big country has been through this war for three years. what we need to focus on today is to ensure that millions of displaced iraqis are able to go home the need to to rebuild schools the need to

rebuild all spitballs i am. 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 old planning 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 this governor it counts to ten percent of the population of the country so it's far from being an of it is indeed an exceptional. to thing that millions can respond and it can respond on bombs. but not on human eternity and reconstruction.

it is essential that internationally the international community community invests as much in the country in the reconstruction and stabilization of the country as they 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 opened and. since then the islamic state group. their needs are still there only for twenty eight eight million iraqis were in need of a few money turn nasty stance so this is not time to abandon iraq. 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 eisel in the country here's a timeline of how things unfold.

as 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.

really good luck. the arrest of a top chinese telecom executive is threatening to derail efforts to patch things up with us on trade you got that and many more stories after this break watching the weekly on our national.

what politicians do you can. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what before three of them all can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and how. things should be. putting back in place a hard order. dr vision between northern ireland and. has economic consequences it has 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 back and forwards there's

a lot of economic activity there's a lot of social and social activity and nobody wants to see how to stop them. all back this is the weekly on our team international now a guidebook for kindergarden in germany about how to tackle far right sentiment has provoked the wrath of parents they claim it only encourages children to spy on them peter oliver takes up the story for us it's the season of goodwill through all of. this. right there with photos on throwing the phones and checking emails it was nice on t racism n.g.o.s received around four hundred fifty hate calls in the first twenty eight hours. threatening things like terrorist attacks we haven'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 the far 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 quiting 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 transform long term counseling work with teachers have asked for help dealing with nationalist families on doubted leaving the organization behind this brochure and the german family ministry of

home. the best of intentions here however in a country where most people still remember the g.d. asking teaches to look out for political motivations could prove problematic for all of our off the building. early results from our media's parliamentary elections suggested that prime minister nicola alliance is leading by a clear margin with more than seventy percent of the vote the reformist anti-corruption leader who took power after spearheading of the country's peaceful revolution earlier this year had called the election years ahead of schedule he's looking to bolster his authority and form a parliament that he says will better serve the country's interests armenia's election commission has said that turnout appears to have been just under fifty percent more than half of the ballots have been counted no serious irregularities have been observed the final result is expected it to be released on monday. there were newly released court documents have revealed that the finance chief of

the chinese tech giant wall way is seeking to be released on bail while awaiting the hearing on extradition to the united states she's currently imprisoned in canada and says she fears for her health man one jew was arrested in vancouver last saturday at washington's request she stands accused of fraud for allegedly circumventing u.s. sanctions on iran the case has sparked an international scandal and led to fears of a trade war escalation between america and china. 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 crashed 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 making 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 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 and while the arrest was being carried out the u.s. and chinese leaders were tucking into a couple. argentinian stakes at the g. twenty in vienna 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 them 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 our executives this is a kind of nationalism gone crazy and that is worrying both american investors and the rest of the world. all right that doesn't from

a i'll be back with more the weekly at the top they are watching archer international stay with us. three hundred to. put it all to. keep an eye on the line. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to

resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. this finding this out the need. arise out of the powder but i you can gouge and guns which i like. yes this stuff i don't. think i'm going to employ is going to go to the rich. man which i got older and here's the other third the most almost the whole cd i mean look if you get the film pretty good the law has a funny budget was you tell a million. there are four hundred days right on the bank call for the work on the base walk or chemical lights and as our business is going through that he would develop a new treatment there internationally known that these industries out of polluting your dissenting. ignored it one that type and mother long live even also and

mainly loves them other than like things we lost in this. come on but. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per circuit first check in and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need

remember of one one this will show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. nineteen seventy eight to nineteen that in ny i said better execution. top of form six to rex seventeen years. for that recommend the death penalty and injuring a judge in.
