if. not they got. the computer with the plane. would come to the place story you have to see. the. movie. the fourth weekend of massa 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's been exactly a year since iraq proclaimed the defeat of eisel in the country about the humanitarian crisis remains among the most volatile in the world this according to the norwegian refugee council. are broadcasting live from moscow this is r.t. international as we recap our weekly stories well we're glad to have you with. 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 tear gas to try and contain the crowds despite their efforts though demonstrators wreaked havoc in a fourth consecutive weekend of unrest. thank you god but. i think. 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 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 arty's fellow dubinsky is following events for some friends. as you can see there is sounding names so i ring say i just in the past in a cold cold as you go towards the national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is that changing fronts 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 threaten their job so in the future we will always be here even if it means losing our company or losing everything else we'll be here until the end of. the last night the elisei government and nancy 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 have thrown 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 the. concerns to the streets. the. ones you cause to doubt that i consider to be a president who's against social rights close trying to deconstruct the welfare state was all clearly implementing policies that ridge because he's the president of the rich we want to the president of the or a lawsuit a president who prioritizes the common interest as well as. 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 tear gas they're being deployed at these protesters are trying to 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 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. 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 one of the chief things are being thrown at them they have been responding immediately and it's not just take us 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 the be quite large of the idea it's not meant to be 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. meanwhile french m.p.'s have slammed what they are calling the unacceptable

and humiliating police treatment of student protesters on thursday that's after a video emerged of detained of students in a paris suburb being aligned up and forced on their knees france's education minister has condemned these actions following the most violent riots in paris in decades and. to public pressure earlier in the week and abandoned the fuel tax reforms that ignorant night did the unrest in the first place but the protests have already gone beyond just fiscal policies political analyst eric vera hague says that most french people aren't certain that president mccraw is capable of solving the crisis. we have to find. a solution and it's departed to face this which begins today and i'm not sure that a man who in my can't 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 able to lead

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 a assembling france office breakdown was jurist of department. all right 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 chords 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 and also question 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 is the question of whether the system as currently configured as it exists today and as the world exists 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 let 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 from us a diplomat 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 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. it has been one year since iraq has 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 mosul and the humanitarian situation

in that country has remained dire though as pointed out by the norwegian refugee council and it's only just reported 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 on recognized by the government we spoke earlier with a member of the aid 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 hundred ten million are still displaced across the country one year on five hundred thousands are in panic the iraqi government face tremendous challenges and big country is going through this war 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 to rebuild

schools the need to rebuild all spitballs i am. some parts of iraq or 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 overwhelming 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 be spend on bombs. but not on humanitarian it and reconstruction i am. it is essential that international of the international community community invests as much in the country in the regular instruction and in the standardization of the country as speed in the fight against islamic states. their work is far from being done and as of today when i discuss with it 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 humanitarian assistance so this is not the time to abandon iraq. already u.s. led coalition invaded iraq back in two thousand and three setting off a chain of events of that eventually led to the rise of i saw in the country here

is a timeline of how things unfold. throughout . the 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. they 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.

to. a guidebook for kindergartens in germany about how to tackle far right sentiment has provoked of the wrath of parents they claim it only encourages children to spy

on them are cheaper all over takes up the story for us. 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. 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 that 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 rattled 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 drawn from long term counseling work which teachers have asked for help dealing with nationalist families and doubted leaving the organization behind this the gym and 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. and tie racism demonstrators claimed to have dealt a huge blow to the vile hate fueled the politics of british far right activist i mean robinson on sunday that's after they turned out in force in central london to counter a pro briggs it march led by the anti islam campaigner whose real name is stephen yaxley he was flanked by members of ukip of the british national party and the far

right a generation identity group and they were all voicing their opposition to the prime minister's exit deal they see it as a betrayal and an agreement that if approved by parliament this tuesday would turn the u.k. into an e.u. vassal state. and while you keep asked a major that ten thousand people had attended robinson's rally organizers of the counter demo said that they had drawn a crowd of fifteen thousand where there was a heavy police presence in place to prevent violence about in between the opposing sides three counter protesters were reportedly arrested. final results are in after armenia's parliamentary elections prime minister nicole question young has his alliance was won by a landslide securing 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 called the election years ahead of schedule he was seeking a stronger mandate and to form a parliament that he believes will better serve the country's interests in a distant second place behind passion younes my step alliance was the prosperous our media party which gained eight percent of the vote the former ruling republican party of armenia won only four percent no serious irregularities have been reported as of yet. newly released court documents have revealed that the finance chief of china's tech giant wall way is seeking to be released on bail while awaiting a hearing on extradition to the us she is currently in jail in canada and says she fears for her health that one jew was arrested in vancouver at the beginning of december and 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 the case has triggered extreme volatility in the markets and led to fears of worsening trade ties between america and china with more on the developments here is done a quarter. 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 twenty fourteen huawei 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 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 i think you assure everyone that we are true. independent judiciary and the appropriate authorities

took the decisions in this case without any political involvement of the interference that 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 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 of this kind of crazy uncertainty may be good politics for him but it's crime goes up the economic life part 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. that does it for me and the weekly on behalf of myself marcia sagna and of course i believe in the gallery right there behind me we're glad to have you with us thanks for watching this is our to international. player.
