the room sick. i dance is yellow vests movement has no sign of letting up in twenty nineteen holding more nationwide protests against the government. news that showed the week funerals were held for the victims of the apartment block collapse in the russian city of might lead to course that claimed thirty nine lives. and the u.s. government shutdown enters a third week as the rao overfunding donald trump's border wall street if you want to call it it's dragging on.

thanks for joining us this is the news. maybe a new year but it's the same yellow vest protests continuing to trouble the french authorities at least fifty thousand of the movement's members once again took to the streets across the country on saturday there are minor scuffles erupted in paris protesters set fire to barricades they also call for president among your microphone to resign. the was. was. was. was. only out of it was the dog and more things were calm at first people were told they needed to declare their gatherings

to authorities and that would guarantee our safety we declared the gathering spot where was our security things got out of hand everywhere they used tear gas on us it looked like a civil war they charged us used pepper spray journalists trying to take cover inside building lobbies were thrown out it's a hostile situation and it's terrible in any case what's apparent is that this movement is still here it's not losing steam into two thousand and nineteen it's still going on and despite the government climbing down over fuel tax increases the rallies have continued eight consecutive weekends now earlier in this week the ill of us laws the blistering attack on president matter on in a letter to him you do not give straight answers and you drag things out by proposing false measures measures that the people of france reject when will you understand that you and your people are no longer credible and that you have lost the confidence of those who believed in you and in your movement nineteen months ago that disturbance is growing among you micron's condemned the ill of us on

twitter and called on protesters to calm down recommit to dialogue where the town of mason lafitte believes the president's reform plans simply out of touch with what the public wants. he said that he will continue is reforms but the reforms is asking for are not the reforms that the french are demanding today you know is the king of european sovereignty which the french dog likes so i think he is absolutely dreaming you know european the searcher and i think he's absolutely. absolutely out of the common sense of the french today i think that the luck role as been elected by chaunce but he's not having a huge luxury to me that he needs to implement what you wish just because you know . seventy or eighty percent of the french nation which don't like what you

propose with protests spreading from france to other european countries pro brigs it demonstrators in london have now also adopted the yellow vest as a symbol rally in the capital city on saturday resulted in clashes leading police to make several arrests including a thirteen year old girl. was she was one of four people taken into custody during the demonstration the protesters hurling smoke bombs of police they marched across the capital blocking bridges and disrupting traffic around one hundred people took part wearing a high visibility jacket who also shouted insoles about the prime minister and called for the case immediate exit from the european union. the u.s. will not pull its troops out of syria until turkey agrees not to target u.s. backed kurdish fighters and frequently considers some kurdish military units to be terrorists clarification of washington's strategy came from the u.s.

national security adviser john bolton during his visit to jerusalem. now objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal we don't think that took so what you want to take military action that's not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the united states so that they meet the president's requirement that the syrian opposition forces that have fought with us and not endangered well what we are hearing at this stage is that john bolton has been here in jerusalem meeting with a number of israeli officials and giving details of a hard the u.s. withdrawal from syria will work we have heard him say that there will be no timetable and then for the first time we're hearing a condition that turkey must guarantee the safety of the until now u.s. backed kurdish forces now all of this follows the surprise announcement last month by the american president donald trump that he was withdrawing american forces from syria take a look so our boys our young women our men they're all coming back and they're coming back now there will be a strong deliberate and orderly withdrawal of u.s.

forces from syria very deliberate very orderly the turkish president added one has always held a strong position these are the the kurds. are in the terrorists and the well they dug themselves and will continue to. we spoke to mr trump those terrorists should go east of the euphrates if they would go. because the both the ring of us were asked were strategic partners with the u.s. who should do what is needed to stay about and will be in turkey way he'll be holding discussions on this very topic the focus of course is on the african region which is in more than syria where we are witnessing a standoff between syrian soldiers who have been saying there and are lying to the syrian president bashar al assad and who are supporting the kurds who requested their help and turkish fighters on the other side so the situation certainly is

very tense. and the turkish president's press secretary commented on. a statement saying it's absurd to claim that anchor would target the kurds he added the turkish goal is to eliminate islamic jihadists and those military kurdish factions who considers terrorists director of the british think tank that the us demands towards turkey could be politically motivated. we think that the united states is using troop withdrawal in order to create a vacuum in northeastern syria and try to push to assume a bigger role than is agreed with with russia and iran and that supposedly would bring it into conflict with the interests of syria and russia and iran and basically try to destabilize that alliance the outcome of the negotiations are clear how rational turkey is going to be in the face of american demands we don't know america has a lot of power and they could give turkey an ultimatum it's either us or the

russians. you know the trump administration one wouldn't think that this is a remote possibility because they are like that the are very direct president trump and his administration. they might put under the threat. on monday a suspected gas explosion tore through a block of flats in central russia dozens of people were killed many of them as they slept their homes collapsed in the early hours of the morning on new year's eve. she should double which in secret formula but the shot in the office might be it we didn't meet the defendant that we deem fortune see me to dump or to get

a match up on the shots that will not serve us to proceed without a mammal number washboard that is twice provides police should you wish called to include shall of my deeds to see to what connecticut she was that what it is the sort of prison shall not impeach i will watch and see even a machine a creature outer space each year in his name with your specific. words to do so. i'm just. going to have the form words if you still love each not. leave people like you. see it's got

a bad supply chain it is now of course passe in the fashion. i see it on the whole considered some more of the stories of those affected by the disaster. thirty nine bodies appears to be the final casualty count from this building collapse that the recovery works went on for around seventy two hours in total almost nonstop throughout the day and night pausing only for safety as you can see behind me some of the balconies in the roofs are to stay. out of total destruction and we're not allowed to go any closer for fear they may collapse as well but. this disaster scene with only the clothes on their back perhaps a few documents or cash they didn't have time simply to grab anything else they were allowed intermittently to go back to the scene to pick up any other possessions that may have left behind. on the. marking is that of

a woman they are innocent of all i see it was. just a child some did you don't bullshit so much of the vision of justice to let you have it when you're good you are sure what they own and as you spoke to these people more and more stories emerge one shots example the family a mother and daughter who slept just as a one off in a different room they would have stayed normally the father stayed on the couch tragically that was the first part of the building to collapse she managed to get away with her daughter the father tragically was not so lucky another story to come out of infant boy who was buried in the rubble here just behind me he was heard crying by emergency workers who rushed to the scene managed to get him out after more than twenty four hours in these freezing temperatures p.c. has been taken to moscow and now despite his multiple serious injuries his condition is described as stable many of the people we've spoken to the witnesses at the scene those who were directly affected by this tragedy are saying they're

also pleasantly surprised by how people of comes together offering their support for the political views in. order to. give them the need to this time so much time is to. sit up with them. over the solution of my mental agony. most of the prison i think marco did a little bit one of the songs in which version could have been put on and then we saw a pile of flowers of candy. soft toys and getting bigger and bigger well wishes many of them quite emotional here is coming here to express their condolences this simply support for those affected by this and of course preparing for the large number tragically of funerals in this city of magnitogorsk. little headway was made saturday in terms of breaking think deadlock over funding

his border war which has seen the government in a partial shutdown. present the white house democrats backing down. the. border. where in a shutdown because democrats refused to fund a border security situation. for the president over. one dollar. it's not who we are it's a nation i'm very proud of doing what i'm doing because we're going to go in there really. i don't want to shut down i call it doing what you have to do for the benefit and for the safety of our city keep the government closed for a very long period of time even years so we can call

a national emergency because of the security of our country absolutely you know we can do it i haven't done it i may do it i may do it. with a democrat controlled house of representatives passed two bills to fund the federal government but they didn't include funding for the border wall and that's trying to threaten to veto the legislation democrats argue such an american president claims that his idea has widespread support. and to hammer home his stance donald trump showed his versatility to instagram this time with a statement of intent and he posted the following video. you legal immigration is wrong plain and simple. are grounds.

for the standoff over the war looks likely to intensify the democrat bills are now heading to the republican controlled senate but they are likely let's be honest to be voted down we discussed the border wall issue with ned ryan he's from the conservative group american majority and also robot pantalone a civil rights lawyer. well also understand the president has absolutely no leverage in this situation he's already made his position position clear they should negotiate this last february during the last government shutdown there's no reason for nancy pelosi to move on this unless the president is willing to make a deal on dhaka make a deal on comprehensive immigration reform they actually meant to close it has him been overheard me right now she can demand whatever she wants were a minimal amount of wall funding there's no leverage to present ailes donald trump cannot back down on this i mean his base is expecting him to fulfill this major campaign promise and i know it doesn't seem like a lot of money i think we're not even really talking about the money because five point six billion and a four trillion annual budget doesn't really mean much at all this is really a showdown between his trunk going to get his wall or democrats going to deny him

that and also you know at a certain point we have to acknowledge the left base inside a democratic party does not want to see a secure border is more favorable towards open borders and not really fixing our immigration policy so i think if they want the wall that should be telling the president to do is bring back the chuck schumer legislation from two thousand and thirteen that passed the senate sixty eight votes to thirty two votes in the house republicans killed there could have been a border wall for the last five years of working for the freedom caucus and some of the extremists in the republican party not supporting it so for the current wall what we need to see the c.b.l. score for was actually wall will say that's what we need to see as a funding mechanism so we know exactly how that actually this is being paid for and we need a concrete and universal comprehensive plan on immigration reform not simply say we're going to stick still slate's and in the desert that's going to probably need a real plan for this a lot of trunk space is willing to compromise we understand that these dhaka these dreamers they did not come here they were brought here they did not come of their own volition we understand that there's

a situation and i think that you would be really surprised if you were to talk a lot of time space they understand there has to be some legal status maybe even potentially a path to citizenship i think people are willing to negotiate but on the same time if there is not funding for a wall in return for a path. the citizenship or legal status then we can have a serious conversation in this at some point we all know that politics is the art of compromise we have to actually get to a point of compromise donald trump has said here is my non-negotiable the answer was you have to come up with something that says what we'll give you that in exchange for this and i think there is a path i got to tell you though they do not want to give donald trump any wins especially on one of his major major campaign promises the german interior minister has been calling for tougher deportation those after a gang of migrants attacked by explaining after the break.

in a world of big part of the 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 bad 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. seem wrong. well just don't. let me. get to say pal it just comes to cancer. and it. equals the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

this week germany's interior minister demanded tougher laws on migrants and asylum seekers after migrant gang brutally attacked passers by including children but here said law not i've been asked for months already to make the deportations more effective in germany that's why we've been working for weeks at the ministry of the interior to prepare a constitutional amendment for a more efficient deportation system so violent offenses are increasingly worrying me whether they are done out of xenophobia or whether they are carried out by foreigners and asylum seekers a state governed by the rule of law must decisively combat both that is our basic

position the person who randomly attacks innocent passers by demonstrates that he does not seek the protection of our society the perpetrators can expect no understanding in our country but only the full force of the law currently deportation is not legally possible but we're working hard to change that those statements came after a group of young migrants attacked locals in the german city of twelve people were injured including a child police arrested four suspects who were reportedly from afghanistan and around or current law forbids deporting minors people whose lives could be endangered with locals for their thoughts. they should be honored to be able to be here and yeah should act like they have to do and not to commit a crime and if they do so they have to go back to pencil. it's their mind this is ok they're for. been to a lot so in the war in afghanistan they need help i think they deserve

a second chance while we have our laws we don't have to change the laws how you think we are right doing it. right now however some politicians and officials the interior minister is exploiting the issue for his own political gain i do understand the anger which i see in some of the reaction to amberg but this hate and the threats of violence now coming from all over the republic have gone too far the whole offer is using the amber consistent a fact to lead to tighten asylum legislation such proposals have next to zero impact when it comes to fighting crime and only helping extremism we have a constitution that is very strong on human rights you cannot ever under the german constitution depart someone to the united states when he is facing the death penalty he has guests and if they commit crimes then they can no longer be our guests so what is the all of us should be doing is to actually work with

countries. to enable us to deport people when we have the promise that they will not be tortured like in ca rendition sides or on the threat of the death penalty in fact what he's doing it is fear mongering and so he is scaring those people that are willing to integrate while he should be targeting the radical islamists that his government has let into our country. you want to use the eight people were injured by a fifteen year old german man who round his car into two separate crowns in the german cities of been as the majority of the victims were migrants from syria and and afghanistan supported the driver made xenophobic comments as he was arrested there are reports that the man has a mental illness. in a historic split the newly formed author talks church of ukraine has been granted independence from the russian church just a few hours ago the patriarch of constantinople handed over

a document that formalized the split to the head of the new church and while many politicians in ukraine are elated at the decision some orthodox christians are concerned about the potential consequences in a coach and perhaps more. a long awaited present has finally been delivered to ukraine patriarch of constantinople has granted its ukrainian are to dogs to urge and autonomy on the eve of our two dogs christmas special decree was signed officially recognizing an independent ukrainian art adox church and of course ukrainian president's petro poroshenko was there shedding tears of question shoot. thank god it would be impossible without god's blessing. i want to thank the millions of ukrainians across the globe this has become possible thanks to your prayers well sems like for one's happy but what's all the fuss about church's independence from hope. per se interest

ukranian are to dogs church has been under control of moscow patrick cates and everyone has been ok with it until the fall of the soviet union and ukrainian independence and nineteen ninety one gradually tensions between the churches. through the years was more and more voices inside ukraine demanding churches and dependence sounds like some in the religious dispute so what's so important about it. also says should effectively give ukrainian orthodox church full autonomy in terms of parish financing and lands but in fact how much of it does keith actually get while the documents signed states that ukrainian church actually falls under control of constantinople ukrainian are dogs church can control only territory with then ukraine and as perhaps but it

creates a need perishes abroad and all disputes are going to be sas wells by constantino people so basically it is just replacing moscow mike. but well president par shango is struggling in the pulls ahead of marge the presidential election and experts say while making this a centerpiece policy of his campaign he hopes to win over for support and more than that other are to dogs churches are not thrilled at all by them. the tentacles of globalization are trying to penetrate the church to destroy its politicians interference in church affairs is a clear sign of this show going to lead by corrupt politicians and illegal assisted by the constantinople patriarchy have deepened and worsen the already existing splits and put the unity of orthodox christianity as a whole in danger and inside ukrainian church itself there is not mind she

unanimity when the plan of autonomy has been announced back in autumn one of the branches a few crane in church has slammed the plan we consider these actions to be canonical they sanction will not bring anything to ukraine except trouble separation and sin but it is at least anyone supporting the move apart from ukraine itself well you must have guessed the answer the united states reiterated strong support for religious freedom and the freedom of members of religious groups including ukraine's orthodox community to govern their religion according to their beliefs free of outside interference oh well not everything one calls freedom is actually making you free professor of church history and same tikhon's orthodox university of leeds under talking gave us his take on the split. the majority of ukrainian church goers belong to the canonical church the church of

the ukraine which was under the potomac gate of moscow and they showed no sign of joining this new structure and in fact a lot of people in ukrainian government are talking about forcing their person with them into this. new structure they are discussing the new law which they would adopt to facilitate so-called to facilitate them to leave mosco for turkey. whatever consumption overall gave to them it's not independence because it's going to be like hands controlled by customs and opal they're. in almost as specifically stated there to all major questions have to be consulted with consent to know paul it's also odd it is also stated so that it's considered noble will have opportunities thirty eight are holy sites parishes and monasteries under its direct

control of the ukrainian church is forbidden to have its own parishes abroad etc etc etc so it's independent of only in the name but really it is controlled by consent and. see it as a part of all all all it's like war old russian company and a portion of the church has been mixed the religion has been mixed into into into the politics nobody thinks about the rights of ukrainian or so there was believe it or so before being persecuted and will be persecuted even harsher. ok i'll go somewhere else to big but it will be back with the latest news so you know.
