i know. the. other thing was. the streets of brussels with a large anti migrant demonstration against a new un migration patterns. in yemen the port city of the data is reportedly hit by an aerial bombardment days off the un brokered truce this week comes as a new report says the number of those killed in the conflict has been grossly

underestimated. oh. and in the stories that shaped the week to gas and violence small speed consecutive weekend of yellow bus protests in paris french president had called on the demonstrators not to take to the streets off the terror attack in strasbourg. people were killed on a dozen injured in that attack when a gunman opened fire on a crowded christmas market the suspect was they to killed by police.

the latest developments and a look back at the last seven. days you're watching the weekly hair not international with minute aerate into welcome to the program. clashes have erupted in the belgium capital today after more than five thousand demonstrators gathered fine until i think the test. was taking was thank you. i. i. i i. he i i protesters tried to enter key eve buildings police used water cannons whole cast a pistol by honest racial kinds in the same week and signed up to a un migration to a lot of flint was a great i was and i'm going sixty un member states at the summit on monday it aims

to find a common global approach to migration but critics say it will limit the ability of countries to shape their own migration policies the former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament of an east is the problem is far more complicated than lots of hands on the surface this is something that has been going on for the us for the last two years already basically have done what you see is people who are indeed afraid but who have been told that their loss of social security and jobs is to be bad blamed on migrants and not on all to hell not big preschool companies who get away with murder by a trade in your taxes and so on the money there so security does to me is the main reason why people then and full focus on these issues i mean do the problem is there nobody is going to deny that the group exists but among other things it's not even the big the biggest problem that people face from the moment so what you have is really the story of the story not people shouldn't. on the real issues that

really affected. in yemen the port city of her data and a few other areas have reportedly been the target of an air strike satellite coalition which supports yemen's government to has not commented on these reports so far but they do come just days after yemen's pro-government forces reached a ceasefire with what the rebels and her data the truce was agreed to during a un backed talks held in sweden the first of their kind in two and a half years and a cease fire terms the warring sides were to halt hostilities and withdraw their forces from her data a strategic port city that serves as the main entry point for humanitarian aid the truce was meant to take effect immediately but as clashes have continued its reportedly been put off until tuesday the u.n. is warning the humanitarian situation in yemen is deteriorating by the day

a terrible tragedy is unfolding in yemen and it's getting worse millions of people are starving seek desperate they have one message for the world this war needs to stop meanwhile a new report by the armed conflict location an event data project claims the number of yemenis killed since twenty sixteen has reached sixty thousand that figure is six times greater than the normally cited ten thousand dead andrea carbone in one of the researches behind the report feels the crisis in yemen has gone largely under-reported despite its huge scale. from what we could see in reporting at least there has been a very kind of a generally lazy attitude in using for instance that ten thousand figure provided by the un the soul of fisher figure since twenty sixteen and still many newspapers and media outlets are still using that has you know a figure which significantly downplay the devastation we know already there are

pockets of reported in several areas and eighty five thousands of people may have also died because of malnutrition and disease is connected to two to it. the b.b.c. has told r.t. it was reasonable for its news team to hunt for any connection between russia and the yellow s. protestors in france after one of its reporters said her editors were quote demanding blood over the issue peter investigates over the last five weeks we've seen france engulfed by violence as people come out on to the streets to say they simply can't afford to live on the french president's money well michael i. but there's also a standard trope that's been rolled out all of the problems here in france taxes

people really managed to debate everything there was. going to listen to them must be the russians behind it right and it seems as though the british national broadcaster the b.b.c. has already made up its mind of point the finger of blame asked not the french government not french taxes but the kremlin text messages between a b.b.c. russian journalist and another reporter apparently show who the broadcaster thinks is at the heart of this well maybe some russian business is capitalizing greatly on the protests when that doesn't get much traction in the b. a b c reports is just that russians amongst the yellow vests must be easy to spot because of all they're eating maybe the protesters eating cutlass mass since that doesn't get the response that was sought the probing continues maybe the far right to ring leaders that nope no joy either prompting the b.b.c. journalist to double down clean desperate by this point i'm looking for angles yes

the editors to months and blood we asked the b.b.c. to respond to these potentially embarrassing revelations this is all they have to say as the french foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject however in the end her reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia at all we stand by our impartial independent journalism i spoke to some people here on the streets of paris and asked them if they saw the shadowy hand of the kremlin behind these demonstrations everything's possible nowadays. until the. end of the man they say the russians are behind the us presidency as well so you know we know of course they are not behind. of course but the difference we never happy about everything the russian foreign ministry has expressed anger

against the b.b.c. claiming the organization acts in a cynical way spokeswoman. lashed out at the constant propaganda and double standards of the podcast also questioning the effectiveness of british rule to regulators and urging the public to evaluate the b.b.c.'s behavior. saturday brought a renewed wave of violence to paris with tear gas arrests and clashes once again seen on the streets during the latest yellow vest protest it was the fifth consecutive weekend of demonstrations what began as a protest against fuel tax hikes and high living costs is now snowballed into or a voltage against the authority of president emanuel micron. with the. acne i.

more than a hundred arrests were made at the protests in paris and all to correspond with continued interest. in russia and nations in the second round sixty six thousand took part in rise across the country. meanwhile there's a rising scandal after france three t.v. photoshop the yellow vests protest to sign from my crawl out to say just micron the channel insists what it did in the report was simply a mistake and not deliberate. following the most violent protest at the start of the month the french president eventually yielded he's now promised to scrap unpopular planned increases in fuel prices and also raise the minimum wage that though hasn't diffuse some of the anger on the streets. it was just over a month ago that one man posted a video on facebook cornell protesters to take up the yellow vest as

a symbol the video quickly went viral chalking up millions of views. we all have these yellow vests for the whole week starting from the seventeenth of november put on your yellow vest to show that you are with us with our movement. we spoke to the inspiration behind the l a best movement and he told us why people are still protesting despite concessions. these measures will affect only a small part of the population not all of the people who benefit from what we're trying to not not all of the people are paid minimum wage there are people with a slightly higher wage he targeted a small majority unfortunately this is not the whole population and these measures are really small he could do a lot more he should have reduced the salaries of the rich because they have disproportionate salaries. these are rich ways but if this is not fast the poor pay more debt than rich with zero taxes this is disproportionate this is the beginning

of chaos we should for measures to resolve it we were on the streets in the wind in the cold not from pleasure. that the french of come because they could not stand it this is lasted for years not only mark wrong in those here forced did nothing to save the situations people are on the streets not giving in because they are determined. another person has died of his injuries from the terror attack in strasburg earlier this week bringing the number of victims to five a gunman opened fire in a crowded christmas market before fleeing a two day manhunt followed ending in a gunfight with police during which the suspect was killed. i saw a lot of people running it were terrified children were crying so i realised something

terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. see if. i was on my way to the city center with a friend but the road was blocked and we couldn't go further someone told us there was a gunman shooting at people and we couldn't even get back home so we ended up being stuck here it's reported that the gunman shouted god is great and arabic as he started shooting authorities say he was a local who had like being radicalized in prison and father said his son supported islamic state leaving its militants were fighting for a just cause it's also been revealed he had an extensive police record and was on the french watch list of possible extremists. considering the target the perpetrators way of operating his profile and the testimonies of those who how to. bar and to terror police have been called into action terrorism has once again

struck our country in strasburg reminding us in a dramatic fashion that the threat is still very real they had from two members of the european parliament from opposite ends of the political spectrum they agree though that europe's current anti terror policy needs reviewing. we kept one minute of silence for the victims as we do recently. as we were doing nobody does good to get in but because we were doing the work i've done this a lot of time this monday so that means we have to change policies to find the sources of the terrorism and to talk of the sources of the reserves with which we have to stop the war should we do we have to really degrade the religion. you through the suburbs of paris and brussels. and we have to do to work together with the moderate islam to the week of two to establish some long term goals and try to achieve them marial as more as i think this was expected this

is proof that this is a must terrorist has committed a crime that was relatively easy to commit i believe it is time to react the terrorist who carried out this massacre yesterday was well known to the police so why wasn't he detained in advance we discuss it here and strauss book with the e.u. having opened its borders this free such relation of people has brought allowed criminals to move about freely every time we have such tragedy we get back to the topic of border control and i think we should take back control of the borders and make the criminals afraid again because now they are not scared yet ordinary people are scared of going to christmas markets with their kids scared to go outside it is not enough to light candles to cry to say like they do all the time. we bought the clan we are france and we want france to live in peace. so lad washington unveils his new plan for africa criticizing the presence of russia and

china there are a lot right after this break. you know world big. lot 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 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. that's geysers financial survival they say money the balance the. budget it is it this is the central plank support diet on this kind of problem right now it's

a stop to that. if we have a new trade arrangements with china that may build a new foundation for war stable relations i think broadly the there's of us as a problem in accepting the rise of china no matter what they do. the us national security adviser has criticized russia and china's activity in africa john bolton it was unveiling a new policy which he says will benefit the continent across the continent russia advances its political and economic relationships with little regard to the rule of law are accountable and transparent governance. it continues to sell arms and energy in exchange for votes at the united nations china uses broad

opaque agreements and the strategic use of debt to hold states in africa captive to beijing's wishes and demands to form when china to expand cooperation with africa china's focuses more on what africa needs such as agriculture modernization and accelerated industrialization but the related statement made by the u.s. concerned simply what the united states itself needs with bolton a heavily critical of the role of russia and china in the area but cast has taken a closer look at america's and. this regarding that it reads more like a declaration of war than a strategy this plan is for the good of the africa promises john bolton this coming from a guy whose boss trump infamously referred to several african nations as something that i can't mention on there the predatory practices pursued by china and russia

stunt economic growth in africa threaten the financial independence of african nations and pose a significant threat to u.s. national security interest its interest in logic so when china or russia or someone else you don't like lends an african nation money that's dead colonialism almost financial slavery when america does it it's investment for africa's own good left mentioning is that russia's trade with the continent pales into insignificance when compared to the us or china look at this rely on this highway hydro power station all built with chinese investment beijing is raising entire cities with more to come china is willing to provide another sixty billion dollars in support of africa to government assistance investment and find. in the financial institutions and enterprises the phrase actions speak louder than words

is entirely a political here the chinese leader xi jinping has visited africa nine times during his tenure tromp one sent his wife but what the united states might lack in tact it's more than makes up with guns american troops are stationed in fifty out of fifty four african nations it has thirty four military sites thousands and thousands of soldiers across the entire continent and a long history of military interventions china has one base in djibouti russia has none american troops are there for africans own good washington would say speaking of which remember the whole chinese and russian money that had american money good thing well it turns out not so much our new foreign assistance strategy will ensure that all us foreign aid in every corner of the globe vance's u.s.

interest countries that repeatedly vote against the united states in international forums or take actions counter to u.s. interest should not receive generous american foreign aid john bolton they does and gentleman man who unveiled america's new africa platen so much for financial independence africans good luck we need to move it to consider what really africa needs it's not really want china mase want a russian made or us need everyone china russia or all of france has the kind really country to number one the infrastructure of development and also to give technology to grow their agricultural their manufacturing base that's something that command a moral high morale simply by the other all of. he doesn't really know how to grow their industry to earn a life this poem due to

a rush or two to china for some of the you know allegedly bad behavior that doesn't really help the picture so it is up to the africans would be sorry wholly wrong. months of the tension in the us president. bush this week pleaded guilty to failing to register as a foreign agent she faces up to five years in prison and to ported but as caleb maupin reports some claim he's being used as a political pawn when maria boot no was arrested the media went wild cue the james bond music and get out your decoder rings it turned out we have a real james bond seductress in real life and they had sexy photos with firearms a web of sex and lies an illegal kremlin agent she offered six for access to an

unnamed political group was likely in contact with russians at that speed something right out of a spy novel they scraped the barrel for everything even her phone cover which reportedly had putin's face on it received its fair share of airtime and now after six months she's been in federal custody much of which in solitary confinement she has come forward and pled guilty to failing to register as a lobbyist for a foreign government yeah no spy stuff no sexual seduction not much at all they've got her for supposedly talking to some politically influential people this is what russia has been saying all along for those little when i heard about what's happening around i also told the chiefs of our intelligence no one had heard of her only in the federal council had people who did it because she was working as someone's assistant now prior to today's hearing the russian foreign ministry said that they would support her no matter what decision she made it seems like the boot . tina's saga is now drawing to a close she might be deported back to russia she might go to prison the next

hearing is on feb twelfth they're not just begun politically motivated this is an utter and total miscarriage of justice i work on k. street in washington d.c. k. street is the center of lobbying for the washington area half of the street is unregistered half of k. street is working for foreign countries without registering with the justice department so why you target maria because she's russian and they might be able to get some political leverage out of her the only reason this is not about justice not at all but another high profile case is now starting to unravel the chief financial officer of wow a technologies the world's leading telecommunications manufacturer has been grabbed in canada over charges related to sanctions against iran trump openly admits that u.s. interests and negotiations are a factor if i think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal of a maid i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary it is going to be

dangerous to see as whether we have a federal investigatory body and a justice department that is launching investigations or asking things under the guise of being we asked where the government of the united states without the approval or support of the president or other members of congress. in order to achieve political purposes or do achieve other purposes so that's something we need to be careful of what we cannot do is to let people who act outside u.s. laws or or a subvert those in the name of protecting policies to run those we need to hold them accountable and fortunately we do have a system in the united states where people can be held accountable if the right voices speak up you can bet that those who follow world events and geopolitics are rapidly rereading trumps of magnum opus the art of the deal they're scanning pages to see if they can find the part where it says when all else fails. grab a prominent one cable pop and archie new york. young boy and

devoted fan of football star lionel messi has been forced to flee his home for a second time after threats from the taliban who confronted the seven year old after a picture of him in a homemade messy shirt made from a plastic bag that went viral but his family now fear for his life after his fame led to unwanted attention but. sachs. says less than ask. what it was going to get out of this you can let me have a chance to get a little of some of.

that just tell us. the last chance to stick to the skin with the slot machine should. was. there.

i'll be back around thirty minutes time the documentary called my precious. the. other thing that. was. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic probably the only.

very. few sit down and talk. president trump indeed has has he's way of communicating but you have to hand it to him but sometimes it's better to try and shake up the established way of doing things in order to come to a different conclusion i think what's worrying is this focus on you know feet jump the news because one of the foundations of a democracy has to be the trust in facts and information and if that trust is fundamentally shaken and the independent media all criticized then i think that that's a problem from a communications perspective. was
