to sit down and talk. i. think. the weak euro and the ghetto fests sweep through again in another round of antigovernment protests police used tear gas to disperse crowds during a sixth consecutive weekend of riots with dozens of injuries and. president vladimir putin shows his stance on the threat of nuclear war the ukraine crisis. and much else besides q. and a with the media. no problem becomes a bit of a headache for disney accused of colonialism for trade. and

we hear some feedback to them. that everything is meant to become modified when the culture does not belong to the corporation that's trying to appropriate and make money honestly i think it's unnecessary pressure and you live in a. more just looking for a reason to be offended. it is sunday morning here in moscow which means we're kicking off the weekly top stories of the week today. again on saturday amid a fresh wave of yellow vest protests all throughout the capital across the country more than thirty eight thousand gathered for the sixth weekend of antigovernment much. and. i.

think that. thank you for. your. police say they made one hundred and forty two arrests and paris once again rock officers were out force using water cannon and tear gas to charlotte you know or for. the 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 thing this 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 caches we've already witnessed in paris as usual is come out through a six day when we also saw many many people injured in some of those cars including somebody who appears out of broken nose and the injuries on the legs as they were

trying to run out a form of the tear gas in an area where they had been cattle jane and those injuries largely due to the fact that 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 and security offices all fewer than what we've seen in previous weeks eight thousand last week and that's because many people watch the protests this weekend would have died down there would be fewer protests this and they certainly all feel just as a movie scene in previous weeks but there are 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 to were many people saying the reasons why guys somebody

should be shown some are actually happy with what's being offered by the government . and increase in the. one hundred one hundred you know you see those on the minimum salary also new social punctually she demands new to listen to those who would get extra hours and of course scrapping the tax in january that like this to take place which of course was the stones of these protests back in november that many people pay say it's just not enough to do with the government and as such we see people like a little streets of paris ready to shoot arrows of their own ease the french government. led by emmanuel mack on. the demands of the yellow vests have been beamed to viewers around the world but some of the coverage in france itself has certainly come in for criticism a french t.v. channel came under fire for censoring its broadcast off to appearing to change the placard of one of the protestors it initially said macro and out of the last word

was deleted this prompted accusations of deliberate doctoring on social media the channel though said it had happened by mistake and we spoke to the protester whose placard was at the center of the controversy. i was shocked like many others is censorship by france three shadow in the media in general the process to start to think that journalists are in cahoots with politicians and the financial elite this kind of censorship doesn't help the situation people would say you see we were right in criticizing the media they manipulate i've heard from many people who said there was shocked as well as a backlash online twitter facebook everywhere i thought this through and decided to file a complaint to the country's media watchdog. the original demonstrations called for field types hikes to be dropped and then grew into a wider government set of protests some other potential sources of the discord

including russian ones so we went to the streets of paris to look for would be. posed by you in paris make people protest. you know. what is it that you do just. the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturdays. here. from russia's economy and education to possible nuclear war and world domination president vladimir putin

feel the wild wild array of questions from journalists on thursday during his fourteenth annual q. and a with the media we've got some of the key by ments from the event here. yes. the u.s. is now leaving the i.n.f. treaty what's going to happen it's hard to imagine what if the rockets are located in europe what should we do of course we will have to ensure our security with concrete steps that we will let them not say later that we are trying to get some advantage we're not trying to get some advantage with this but merely to seek your balance to ensure a security. concern in the u.s. withdrawal from syria i don't really know what that means for example the us has

been present in afghanistan for the past seventeen years and almost every year they say that they are withdrawing their troops but they are still there now and what is the presence of american troops needed in syria but you can i don't think so but let's not forget the presence there is illegitimate but it was not agreed on but it will be there with the u.n. security council you know with the syrian leadership they would if the u.s. plans to withdraw the masses the right decision. will block just tell me this who set the blockade between the on the us and the rest of ukraine but it's going to russia you know if it was done by the ukrainian authorities they have in forced a full economic blockade of the territory they consider their own they shoot at those they consider their own citizens almost every day civilians die though we provide humanitarian support for those living that but only not to let those people starve to death. i'm sure you will be because she was assassinated

everyone knows that there is evidence script is a lie however there are sanctions against russia and complete silence in the case of saudi arabia is that this politicized russia phobic approach is just another reason to attack russia. if it was not script they would have thought of something else this is obvious to me and the aim is one to hold workers growth at any cost. in my view. relations are at a stalemate is in the interests of both of our countries to get out of this stalemate are we interested in me storing our relations with the u.k. yes we are and so is the u.k. . many western politicians and experts and even ordinary people see russia as a threat they even think that you want to rule the world of course i do i just want to know if you really want this was a real end of your foreign policy. concerning ruling the world we know where the

headquarters are located of those who want to do this and it's not in moscow you can connect this to defense spending the u.s. spends over seven hundred billion dollars on all russia's only forty six billion of them in about all do you really think that our aim is to rule the world with the us that this is just a cliche that's being imposed by the west in order to resolve their own domestic problems but in the. uk it was in you just when will you marry whom and whom. you know these are two different questions are you married. yes so he is married and wants me to suffer the same. first of all do they cannot and then they said my flash was bothering with the russian flag cannot bother anyone but i want to refer to keep playing who said when everyone is there the great game is finished the at the great there will be a meeting where everyone will die this is a question about how i think it should be the next one of us in the world yet how's

your health. do while you would not see me off. but having i spent several hours fielding all those questions from journalists and others thought about quitting was not. after the marathon you sat down for a face to face meeting with an aspiring reporter. hello how are you. i would like to ask you some questions did you always dream of becoming president or before you wanted to be for example an astronaut. honestly i never dreamed of becoming president and i had no intention . probably at first it was very difficult for you can you describe your first days as president. yes it wasn't easy these were very difficult

years for the country as a whole. with survival there was a very difficult situation with the economy and security as well. what was your most memorable day as president. it is very difficult to say but we just talked about this has to be. the most striking events of this year with a presidential election on the world cup you may get. used to this which was a secret but i can share it with you i wish all our wishes will come true. of course. you are very handsome. thank you very much. during the break your. questions to the president and resorted to war so there's a time.

the phrase no problem or no worries is familiar in many languages but the swahili translation is at the center of a trademark. entertainment giant disney you may know the phrase from this movie. so prominently. the. license of the line king came out in one thousand nine hundred four generations

grown up knowing. the phrase was trademarked by does need to protect its movie merchandising the studios being accused of colonialism a petition launched by as him bob when activist to get disney to drop its copyright claim has been signed by more than sixty thousand people saying the phrase belongs to african culture and it's not an american invention disney's trademark dates back to two thousand and three for acquittal matata to be used on clothing and footwear the studio doesn't deny this where he really origin of either the phrase or the names of almost all the liking characters although it hasn't yet commented on the petition itself the case has fired up some angry opinion. so i we're seeing so much pushback from people on it they see this is another as you alluded to manifestation of cultural appropriation and it continues a capitalism entrepreneur africa and specifically africa a continent representing everything that capitalist wants everything capitalist need but everything capitalists don't want to pay for that's used if you look at it

necessarily anti-capitalist stand i mean i don't want to find out instantly that you're driving a jeep cherokee let me just leave it at that obviously i think it's unnecessary pressure as i mentioned earlier we live in an error of only outreach people are just looking for a reason to be offended i don't think this is a case about offending people right i mean everyone more by the way to get up to be offended i think what we're seeing here is the commodification of culture and we have to go beyond sheridan to the one thing that does need to do is the best men in the lion king franchise which is three little lot of jobs did these made a lot of money and let me tell you something disney has donated to africa causes in africa last year two thousand and seventeen they donated over three hundred forty million dollars not everything is meant to be. modified and culture is one of those things especially when the culture does not belong to the corporation that is trying to appropriate and make money off of it at the end of the day disney is a global company so it's not to say that they can't appropriate or use phrases from

other cultures let me tell you something right now where are we going to go with this next is taco bell going to be under attack is the tilted cule polled franchise i think it's a forty parallelism to compare a franchise like taco bell to language like recruitment tata disney also tried this with dia de los webb so they also tried some copyright the day of the dead which is also something that is quarterly sacre for people specifically in mexico you make money the way that you want to make money and that's fine but this is why cultural appropriation. a powerful tsunami has struck in indonesia leaving at least sixty two people dead. and we understand some six hundred have been injured with at least twenty missing that's the information from the latest reports of hundreds of buildings on the

coast around the sunda strait have just been destroyed and i was believe the tsunami was caused by undersea landslides following of all kind of corruption at nearby mt krakatoa the death toll could still rise further when we get the updates or a nazi you get them to. the u.s. envoy to the un t. i sold coalition has reportedly resigned over donald trump decision to withdraw u.s. forces from syria reports of a brett mcgurk nation come just a day after defense secretary james mattis also announced he will be stepping down early next year in protest over the planned military pullout president trump shared his reaction to the news on twitter. brett mcgurk who i do not know was appointed by president obama in two thousand and fifteen was supposed to leave in february but he just resigned prior to leaving grandstander the fake news is making such a big deal about this nothing of that. a number of prominent lawmakers both democrat

and republican have criticized chum's decision to get out of syria but the move has been backed by some key players in the region including america's nato ally turkey i'm a saint and i'm for the us the trump told us during our conversation will you clear the direst room here of them before and after this we will give them as long as you give us the support in terms of logistics and how they started to withdraw all they have. u.s. allies involved in the syrian conflict are not on board with washington's plans though trump's decision has been met with anger among kurdish forces in the region with family members of fighters appealing to the u.s. to with to reverse their withdrawal and mothers and wives of soldiers in the armed opposition the syrian democratic forces have been gathering near an american military base in the aleppo province. one zero zero zero zero of all the american turned his back on us as we continue to fight in day reserve it was oh it and i

think of any iraqi. why did they leave i said. you know we went to the airfield they promised that we would not leave and now they've sold us out. tensions are already rising in northern syria with turkey now filing an offensive against the kurdish forces which currently control the city of mann bridge a representative for the syrian democratic forces told russian media they are not ruling out handing the city back to the syrian government to prevent launching a similar operation to the one that i'm correct carried out after the liberation from islamic state back in twenty sixteen. we do not support and we would oppose efforts to move south and engage in activities against the syrian democratic forces kurdish commanders have made

commitments in that they will turn over areas to local populations as they have been so tremendously successful in liberating those areas from dash we expect them to live up to those commitments. that i'm from on base maffei to thank and that talk is threat the cost of our god to find together the americans and the collison again that talk until there was trouble from the restaurant advantages is complicated business around territory. we noticed more movement from the euphrates shield along the front line as turkey before its military operation on

a free and threatened that manned beach would be the next target. as i said before our relationship is 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. as i said is going to be given. here and. there for him this is one of the. it is one of the issues that work together. we have a part of syria and we don't support separatism what you want an agreement to be reached. as part of a free syria. we spoke with pentagon security analyst michael maloof who believes the syrian government will be looking to fill the void left by the 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 is very very important strategically. keeps the turks away as well the turks are not going to be used as they have threatened to do so giving it back to us is very important and i think that that void of tension or a major conflict between turkey and the kurds and so and also. turkish president everyone has much support for. this this is all beginning to offer an a whole new dynamic in that region as a result of the u.s. pull out. investment bank goldman sachs is facing criminal charges in malaysia over the loss of billions of dollars from a state investment fund while the financial services john says the former

a lot of people like to use were to let go small very good analogy but when we have soul towers on every to every big building when we are going to put these five g. generators on every light pole on every street it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up living in a box and lived in a shielded room away the same person that was helping us to she found the right material to hold back that particular frequency that was coming in and burning my skin and we built a room it looks like a little foil but it's not it's three layers thick and like a very very fine chicken wire in the middle of it there were days that i didn't know it the sun came up the sun went down and christmas came around we had.
