a dozen other american states. particularly crossing the line that's wrong doesn't sound like you go to work to work you don't go to work for your outside life you should be able to have your own political views outside of your work. and i welcome so out international law from moscow on daniel hawkins actually joining us this hour. police parasol clashes again on saturday with a ghetto vest protests throughout the french capital across the country more than thirty eight thousand gathered for the latest anti-government marches. i.

if. your. police are even made one hundred forty two arrests in paris once again right officers were out in force using water cannons and tear gas is already short of do with the reports. chaotic scenes here just outside the hotel de ville in paris just think a look over here see a gas raining down as the protests just look like they were trying to push through woods the island were not for the famous cathedral is situated they were throwing projectiles at the police and then the police have responded with this tear gas this is one of many clashes we've already witnessed today in paris as you lesions come out for a six day we also saw many people injured in some of those clashes including somebody who appeared to have a broken nose and injuries on the leg as they were trying to run out

a form of the tear gas in an area where they had been cattle jane and these injuries largely due to the fact it seems that the crowds were pushing people away i just take a look behind you see some of the special mobilized police units who are out in force some one thousand two hundred and twenty five police officers were being mobilized today and security of this fall fewer the more we've seen in previous weeks eight thousand last week and that's because many people who watch the protests this weekend would have died down there would be fewer protests this and they certainly all feel protests isn't what we've seen in previous weeks but they're all still thousands of people here on the streets of paris as you can see just crowds trying to move away as these police forces are coming in for a few or many people saying the reasons behind that is some of the sheerly seans.

are actually happy with what's been offered by the government including an increase in one hundred of one hundred euros of those on a minimum salary also new social contribution plans new taxes for those who work extra hours and of course scrapping the fuel tax in january the hike that was due to take place which of course was the start of these protests back in november but many people hey say it's just not enough they're not happy with the government and as such we're seeing people again out on the streets of paris ready to show their own anger their own ease with the french government's come policies led by emanuel might call ready we've seen some of those tensions between the police and the protesters so we thought we'd give you an inkling of what we do to try and stay safe we were on to the streets when we were in these protests and that we were covering them so take a sneak look at what we do see you path for a protest. thank

you if there is one thing the french really know how to do it's protest at all t. we believe that the best way to tell a story is to really get to the heart of it and that's essentially what we try to do as a team in the protests. q thank you. thank . you thank you. thank you. thank you. but the base brings its own difficulties and dangers so how do we try and stay safe well firstly we always carry a medical kit now as well as the basics i think. but these little i washed pods are

wood they're waiting gold particularly after being tig i asked. was if you can see the tear gas is being fired by the police. because these teargassed going everywhere now tear gas is an irritant to particular if you're always you know as your mouth and your lungs and its effects kick in after about thirty seconds now that can include difficulty breathing and chest pain it's a chemical weapon which is actually found from being used in warfare yet it's still used to control crowds to mitigate its impact we wear protective goggles like this and respirators it really have to be crazy on the streets of paris rubber bullets being deployed each t. is streaming down my face again as a result of tear gas i can't tell you how many times now we've been gassed with all those gloss bottles the stones the to gas canisters and sometimes even molotov

cocktails flying about having a hard hat is very important. when things turn particularly nasty the police have been known to shoot rubber bullets now it may not look like a very much but one of these little guys can cause some serious damage and they can even be lethal so to try and keep my cool area safe i wear this fast it weighs around two and a half kilos and the idea is that if i get a direct hit it's going to help disperse the impact and hopefully reduce any injury . so that's the big. six of the kate now we are all set for the next act.

of. violence flared in barcelona on friday with pro independence protests in spain's catalonia region leaving more than sixty protesters and police officers injured. and the stemmed from a government decision to relocate the weekly cabinet meeting from madrid to the catherine capital sensibly as a conciliatory gesture of unity it coincided with the first anniversary of a heavy handed police crackdown on independence supporters journalists in barcelona

talk to us through friday's renewed protest. burma the cabinet meeting is held in madrid that has federal centers that already and the lizzie actually also want to do it here in barcelona and people took it as a provocation because only one year ago catalonia declared independence so people obviously are angry because they want to be independent and they want to be separate separate from the hosting so as you can see behind me you have signs of the bet at perseus politico's which means these libor rate the political prisoners still nine of them are held in detention and basically you have all these people you have young people protesting and still trying to remember what happened here one one year ago so a people took out of the streets not only here in the center but also they blocked eighty seven seven which is the freeway leading to the airport so many people were

blocked today and couldn't go home for christmas. and for as they all parties had agreed to a effective dialogue an independence referendum held up toby last year was deemed illegal by madrid which then arrested castle and leaders for brilliant and sedition the spanish prosecutor recently claimed that for mcafee the president called a speech more and spent more than eight million euros on that referendum because one called such accusations bizarre. spanish history academic at britain's new call soon diversity says politicians are misreading the mood of the part of the public. trying to work through. the mind we consented to meet. and there. was no deal so many ways. the government cannot control everyone and. this is the crew stand on the spanish

and we can. see in the elections in december last year. was somehow symbolic to both spanish and the catalan government for the current government because they haven't been able to do much in the last year in terms of legislation. a partial shutdown of the us government has come into effect after the senate failed to approve billions of dollars for building a border war with mexico demanded by donald trump we're going to have a shutdown and there's nothing we can do about that because we need the democrats to give us their votes let's get out let's work together let's be bipartisan and let's get it done the shutdown hopefully will not last logged and this is the third time washington is shut its doors this year nine federal departments have stopped their work with almost four hundred thousand employees at home hundreds of thousands more will work without pay for now until an agreement can be struck they

have lived off the founding editor of the online news web site this can't be happening thinks it's all a bit of a gimmick. it's it's all theater it's playing to the media the media is making a big deal out of it. and it really isn't a big deal unless it blew up into something that was going to last for a month or two months or something it started hurting me in the government's ability to pay its debt on time as happened one time with this but it you know it's becoming kind of a joke in the united states that you know this super powerful super rich country can't come up with a budget every year and it's almost every year thing and trump has made it more so with this continuous threats to shut down the government but it's really a joke. now some playing yet just how long the situation will last but the president trump stressed he was prepared for it to last a long time is

an american speech therapist. in texas off to being sacked from her job out of school for refusing to sign an oath to never be a part of any boycott movement on israel as required by law saw in over a dozen states prohibiting the employment of people with sentiments is capable and with more details. the first amendment of the u.s. constitution guarantees citizens the right to criticize the american government however if you criticize a foreign government you might get in trouble and twenty six u.s. states government contractors are forbidden from boycotting israel in texas employees are required to sign an oath saying that they do not and will not boycott israel or engage in any activity intended to sow economic harm one speechcraft just refused to sign the oath and was fired she says this violates her rights and she's taking it to court it's

a baffling that they can sew this down our throats you know and decide to protect another country's economy versus protect our constitutional rights and this isn't just a red state republican thing here in a liberal new york a similar laws in effect we are against the b.d.s. movement and it's very simple if you boycott against israel new york you we've been hearing what locals have to say about it think it's a little bit odd it's ridiculous crossing the line that's wrong doesn't sound right you go to work to work you don't go to work for your outside life you should be able to have your own political of views outside of your work because people can do as they wish i guess and you know you shouldn't put that on employees to either one way or the other you can have someone sign. an agreement for taking another country congress even has a bill in the roster that would punish american companies were engaging in a boycott we must continue to stand firm against the profoundly by this campaign to legitimize the state of israel through boycotts divestment and

sanctions supporters of the bill say that it would only affect major companies however some fear it could be used to punish individuals were this legislation to pass federal officials would have a new weapon at their disposal to chill and suppress speech that they found objectionable or politically unpopular if there was a law forbidding criticism of the. american government we would see rioting every american is taught about the moral principles the country was founded on however there are many who feel that israel deserves a special layer of protection from those who might disagree with its rather controversial actions. r.t. new york holds on the heels of the us defense secretary's resignation a high ranking american envoy is now saying the president trumps planned syria pull out. more.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to be right to be this is what the korean people are. interested in the why. should.

the international u.s. envoys of the n.t.i. so coalition has reportedly resigned over don't want trumps the second to withdraw u.s. troops from the country. resignation if confirmed comes just one day off the defense secretary james mattis also announced he's going to step down early next year in protest over the planned military withdrawal a number of prominent lawmakers both democrat and republican have criticized trump's decision to get out of syria but the moves would be backed by some key players in the region including america's nato ally turkey. saying

the trump told us during our conversation will you clear the direst from here. before and after this. as long as you give us the support in terms of logistics and how they started to withdraw all they have. other u.s. allies involved in the syrian conflict are not on board with washington's plans though from this decision has been met with anger among kurdish forces in the region with family members of the fighters of prevailing to the u.s. to reverse the withdrawal mothers and wives of the soldiers in the armed opposition the syrian democratic forces have been gathering in the old american military base in aleppo province one zero zero zero all the american turned his back on us as we continue to fight indeed. it was our airline company and. why did they leave i said this day. we went to the airfield they promised that they would not leave and now they've sold us out. the tensions are already rising in northern syria with

turkey now vowing an offensive against the kurdish forces which currently control the city of man which representative for the syrian democratic forces told russian media they all want to go out in the city back to the syrian government to prevent turkey launching a similar operation to the what i'm correct carry out after the liberation from islamic state back in twenty six the. we do not support and we would oppose efforts to move south and engage in activities against the syrian democratic forces who kurdish commanders have made commitments that they will turn over areas to local population as they have been so tremendously successful in liberating those areas from that we expect them to live up to those commitments. that i'm from on base

fighting again their taxes threat with the cost of our guard to find together the americans and the collison again they're talking until there was trouble from surrounding villages is complete it this is sarah and tara. sorry. but this year we noticed more movement from the euphrates shield along the front line as turkey before its military operation on a friend threatened that manned beach would be the next target. as i said before our relationship he's at a critical juncture either we must put it back on track or it will further deteriorate we have agreed essentially to normalize our relationship again but in

a man dish is one that as i said is going to be given priority in our joint working over there for him this is one of the foreign ministry it is one of the issues for us to work together. we have a part of syria and two we don't support separatism by two once an agreement to be reached and so often this tree is part of a free syria former pentagon security analyst michael maloof believes the syrian government will look to fill the void being left by u.s. forces. well i think that given that the u.s. is pulling out it's only inevitable that assad would. begin to move move his troops back in and mazes is very very important strategically to keep the turks away as well the turks are not going into monday's as they have threatened to

do so giving it back to assad is very important and i think that that avoids the potential for a major conflict between turkey and the kurds and so and also. turkish president everyone has pledged support now for us so. this is this is all beginning to offer an a whole new dynamic in that region as a result of the u.s. pull out. you know the headlines a group of indigenous people from argentina's parts of the region are suing some of the world's biggest oil and gas companies for environmental damage them up a shade tribes say that contamination from fracking sites threatens their lives and wildlife across the epic landscape.
