the. similar. if. not the got. the food with the flame. would come to the story you have to see. the. june. fourth weekend of mass riding sweeps across france as thousands of police officers backed by armored vehicles failed to keep a lid on the violence. our mission is to reassert our

sovereignty reform the 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 rejects. and it has been exactly a year since iraq proclaimed of the defeat of the country but humanitarian crisis remains among the most volatile in the world this according to the norwegian refugee council. are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international and john thomas i'm glad to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories. armored vehicles moved through the streets of paris on saturday the

first time in more than a decade 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 as thousands of riot police used to tear gas to try and contain the crowds despite their efforts demonstrators wreaked havoc and a fourth consecutive weekend of unrest. was. what began as local protests over fuel price hikes snowballed into a nationwide uprising against

a man on micron's government and it's not only people in high visibility yellow jackets who are showing their frustration paramedics in paris and high school students across the country have been holding rallies as well largely shoulda been following events for us and for. as you can see this high sounding names so i rings i just in the past in a cold cold as you go to loads of national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is that i change shame france it was intimate to two months ago i went to my hospitals now you just saw my reach ambulance service in france will collect patients and it drives 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 . last night the elite. he's a government and now seem to be cancelling the 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. once you close it out i consider my home to be a president who's against social rights who's trying to deconstruct the welfare state. he's 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 interest 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 to try and clear them out of that street where they were causing damage around us just took a look at this these 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. 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 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 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 two thousand and four 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 need be quite large the idea it's not meant to 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. meanwhile french m.p.'s have slammed what they're calling the

unacceptable and humiliating police treatment of student protesters on thursday that's after video emerged of detained students in a paris suburb being lined up and forced on their knees france's education minister has condemned the actions following the most violent riots in paris in decades of. bowed to public pressure earlier in the week and abandoned the fuel tax reforms that ignited the unrest in the first place but the protests have already gone beyond just fiscal policies political analyst eric says most french people aren't certain that president micron is capable of solving the crisis. we have to find. a solution and it's departed to face these which begins today and i'm not sure that a man who in my case as a good idea of what to do and i'm not sure that you would be to good men to write men to do write plays because they're not to be put in france considered that he's not a virtue lead to

a country. of old to be put in front of all citizens and to consider that he is the man of minority of to reach us which is assembling france. breakdown was jurist of the people of. russia raised the alarm over u.s. threats to pull out of a nuclear treaty 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 that agreement adding russia has sixty days to comply or else washington will start pulling out of the deal. moscow says it is in compliance with of the treaty and quote the us knows it

meanwhile washington this week laid out its vision of the world and its mission to reestablish the world's liberal order it also question of the relevance of many other international agreements and organizations as our correspondent comments. it is time for change time for the old ways to die time 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 does it 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 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 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. turning 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. and former us a diplomat jim johnson has believes that point 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 trump's 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 positions 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. has 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 humanitarian situation though has a remained dire as pointed out by the norwegian refugee council in its latest

report it says almost two million people are still displaced across the country with eight million more in need of humanitarian aid they also state thousands of children born under islamic state rule are still unrecognized 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 iraqi government face 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 route to muscle 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 you can respond on bombs. but not on human eternity and reconstruction i

am. 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 eighteen eight million iraqis were in need of humanitarian assistance so this is not time to abandon iraq. and 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 eisel in the country here's a timeline of how things unfold.

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.

the arrest of a top of chinese a telecom executive is threatening to derail efforts to patch things up with the u.s. on trade we've got that and other stories right after this break you are watching our interest.

to fight the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. place hard order. dr vision between northern ireland. has consequences that 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 forward there's

a lot of economic activity there's a lot of social social activity and local. welcome back this is our two international now a guidebook for kindergartens 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 now peter oliver takes up the story. it's the season of goodwill to all and spreading the heat of fear right spare a thought for those on throwing the phones and checking emails at wall of germany's until racism n.g.o.s received around four hundred fifty hate calls in the first forty 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 what to do if its 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 is 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. on how kids addressed and also that the brochure was well received by professionals this is based on true cases drawn from long term counseling work which teachers have asked for help dealing with nationalist families and doubted leaving the organization behind is on the to him in family ministry the best of intentions here however in a country where most people still remember the g.d. teaches to look out for certain political motivations could prove problematic for

all of our off the building. early results from our media as a parliamentary election suggest that prime minister nicola alliance is a leading by a greater margin with more than seventy percent of the vote the reformist anti-corruption leader who took power after spearheading the country's peaceful revolution earlier this year had called the election years ahead of schedule is 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 the turnout appears to have been just under fifty percent which was lower than in two thousand and seventeen your early eighty percent of the ballots have been counted no serious irregularities have been observed. you know we released court documents have revealed that the finance chief of chinese tech giant wall way is seeking to be

released on bail while awaiting a hearing on extradition to the us she's currently imprisoned in canada and says she fears for her health and men one jew was arrested in vancouver at the beginning of december at washington's request she stands accused of financial fraud and if found guilty would face a lengthy prison sentence china has protested vehemently against her detention and summoned the u.s. ambassador case has triggered extreme volatility in the markets and led to fears of worsening trade ties between america and china. more developments here's artie's on the court. 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 to 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 earnestly

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. 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 argentinean 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 in 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. it pro brags that march through central london led by far
