a new year but it's the same yellow verse protests that continue to challenge the french authorities at least fifty thousand of the movement's members once again took to the streets across the country saturday or minus scuffles in paris where protesters set barricades on fire they're also calling for president among. to quit . i . i i i. i i was. first people were told they needed to dig. where there are 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 and they charged us used pepper spray journalists trying to take cover inside the 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 twenty nineteen it's still going on while the government climbing down over fuel tax increases the rallies have continued for eight consecutive weekends early this week the yellow vest launched a blistering attack of president macron 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. or with the disturbances going among your micron's taking

a leave of donald trump's bookies can turn the yellow vest on twitter and called on protesters to calm down and recommit to dialogue the mayor of the town of mess on their feet believes that the president's reform plans are simply out of touch with what the public wants. is said that it will continue is reforms but the reforms is asking for are not the reforms that the french are demanding today you know in speaking of european summer entity which the french don't like so i think it is absolutely dreaming you know the european the purchaser and i think is absolutely. absolutely out of the common sense of the french today i think that the uk law as been elected by chance but is not having the huge ledger ikin that he needs to implement what he wishes because you know they are seventy or eighty percent of the french nation which don't like what they propose. with the

protests spreading from france to other european countries pro breaks it demonstrators in london they've adopted the yellow vests if you can spot them a rally in the capital on saturday resulted in clashes leading police to make several arrests included a thirteen year old girl. she was one of four people taken into custody during the demo the saw protesters filling smoke bombs at the police they vanished across the capital blocking bridges disrupting traffic around hundred people took part they were wearing those high visibility jackets they shouted insults about the prime minister and they called for the ucas 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 currently considers some kurdish military units to be terrorists clarification of washington strategy came from the u.s.

national security advisor john bolton there is during a visit to jerusalem. now objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal we don't think the turks ought to undertake military action that is not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the united states so that they meet the president's requirements 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 borders our young women our men they're all coming back and they're

coming back now it will be a strong deliberately and they were. only withdraw 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. same. in the terrorists and the world will be dark themselves and will continue to. we spoke to mr trump those terrorists should go east of the euphrates. but. because the bordering us were asked were strategic partners with the us then we should do what is needed. to stay bolton will be in turkey we will be holding discussions on this very topic the focus of course is on the athlon region which is in northern syria where we are witnessing a standoff between syrian soldiers who have been sent there and are lying to the syrian president bashar al assad and are supporting the kurds who requested their help and turkish fighters on the other side so the situation certainly is very

tense. on the turkish president's press secretary commented on the u.s. statement saying it's absurd to claim uncle target did the turkish goal is to eliminate islamic jihadists and those military kurdish factions the mantra considers to be terrorists mark after iraq to the british think tank analysis believes u.s. demands towards turkey could be politically motivated so we think that the united states is using troop withdrawal in order to create a vacuum in northeastern syria and try to push to rescue a bigger role that 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 to. and 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 turkey under the threat. on monday or suspected gas explosion tore through a block of flats in central russia dozens of people were killed many of them as they slept the homes collapsed in the early hours of new year's eve. just a double edge and seem a couple of good but the shot in the office might be it's we didn't meet the

defense of redeem watching see me to dump a stick at a much of a shot so the not so must focus you know about a mammal number washboard to slice provides clue should he do was call to challenge my deeds to see to a competitive she was content with getting the sort of praise a shoulder and up him creature which in seeking a machine a creature out or spicey to inspire with your specific. pseudo would suppose so. i'm just. too busy to have a form with to instill a love it's not. bush's fault. i'll probably feel like you. see it's got

a bad supply chain it is mild version of course passed in the kitchen. and hawkins heard some more 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 and the roofs are in a state of total destruction and we're not allowed to go any closer for fear they may collapse as well most residents fled 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 ship a smart and is that of

a point when they are innocent of all i see it was. just a child some did just don't condone bullshit so wanted to be sure to just let you have it when you're good you are sure what their own and as you spoke to these people more and more stories emerge one shots example the vorontsov 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 her 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 have come together offering their support for the political views in. the squad of most human. thank you. so much i mean. one of the songs you know. we saw a pile of flowers of candles soft toys and i was getting bigger and bigger. many of them quite emotional in tears coming here to express their condolences there 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 today in terms of breaking the deadlock over funding his border wall which is the government in a partial shutdown for more than two weeks the president neither the white house nor the democrats look like backing down. border safe where in a shutdown because democrats refused to fund border security situation with. the president over. the line i wonder why. it's not who we are is 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 to 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. the democrat controlled house of representatives passed two bills to fund federal government but only they didn't include funding for the border war. the president to threaten to veto the legislation democrats have argued such a war would be american the president claims the idea has widespread support. and to hammer home his stance trump took to instagram with his statement of intent to also posted this video. illegal immigration is wrong plain and simple.

well it's a standoff over the war looks set to intensify as well the democrat bill is one that had to the republican controlled senate that's where the likely let's be honest to be voted down we've discussed the political issue with ned ryan he's from the conservative group american majority and also robert patillo a civil rights leader well also understand the president has absolutely no 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 there's no reason for nancy pelosi to move on this unless the president is willing to make a deal on daca make a deal on comprehensive immigration reform basically nancy pelosi has him bent over heard me right now she can demand whatever she wants we're a minimal amount of wall funding there's no leverage to present a hales 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 free to. caucus and some of the extremists in the republican party about 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 i mean it's the it's a funding mechanism so we know exactly how exactly this is being paid for and we need a concrete and universal comprehensive plan all immigration reform not simply say we're going to stick still slates 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 doc of these dreamers they did not come here they were brought here they did not come of their

own volition we understand that there is 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 to 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 nancy pelosi 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 is calling for tougher deportation those after a gang of migrants attacked passes by we'll bring you the details after this short break.

you know like the e.k.g. for countries is their ten year bond rate is look at that you say oh that country southie that country is not healthy well looks like the health of the chinese economy based on that their interest rates are better than america. i've been seeing the numbers. i mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like our current happy each day . eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers

overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. welcome back this week germany's interior minister demanded tougher laws on migrants and asylum seekers after a migrant gang brutally attacked passes by including children. will not have been asked for months already to make the deportations more effective in germany and 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 passes 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. well those statements came after a group of young mind prince attacked locals that was in the german city of twelve people were injured including one child police arrested four suspects who were reportedly from afghanistan and around. the court of law forbids deporting minors and people whose lives could be endangered with locals for their thoughts they should be honored to be able to be here and. yeah should. they have to do a note to commit a crime and if they do thorough they have to go back to pennsic. it's their mind

this is ok they have. been through a lot so in a war and then afghans they need help i think they deserve a second chance while we have our laws you don't have to change the laws hey think we are right doing it. right now however some politicians and officials think 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 hard for is using the amber consistent effort actively 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 cia rendition sites or on the threat of the death penalty in fact what he's doing here 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 is that into our country and while on tuesday eight people were injured by a fifty year old german man he rammed his car into two separate crowds in the german city of basra and of the majority of the victims were migrants from syria and afghanistan reported the driver made xenophobic comments while being arrested there are also reports the man has a mental illness. in a historic split the newly formed orthodox church of ukraine has been granted

independence from the russian church and just a few hours ago the patriarch of constantinople handed over a document that formalized the split and you get to the head of the new church on many politicians in ukraine elated at the decision some orthodox christians are concerned about the tension of consequences but in a culture of a split. 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 petro poroshenko was there shedding tears of pressure to it. 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 churches independence from

hope. per se interests ukrainian 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 once so important about it. altos of 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 ukraine in church actually falls under control of constantinople ukrainian are dogs church can control only territory with

then ukraine and as perhaps would it create any parishes abroad and all disputes are going to be sas wells by constantino pope so basically is just replacing moscow mike. but well president par schenkel is struggling in the pulls ahead of march presidential election and experts say while making this a centerpiece policy of his campaign he hopes to win over it and more than that other are to dogs churches are not thrilled at all by the move the tentacles of globalization to trying to penetrate the church to destroy its politicians interference in churches is a clear sign of this show even is led by corrupt politicians and illegal assisted by the constantinople patriarchy have deepened and worsen the already existing split and put the unity of orthodox christianity as

a whole in danger and inside ukraine in church itself there is not want unanimity when the plan of autonomy has been announced back in autumn one of the branches so if you crane in church has slammed the plan we consider these actions to be. they sanction will not bring anything to ukraine except trouble separation and sin but 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 at st john's orthodox university alexander dvorkin gave us his take. the majority of

ukrainian church goer is belong to the canonical church the church of the ukraine was under the paternal 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 off new structure they are discussing the new law which they would adopt to facilitate so-called to facilitate them to. leave most corporate turkey. whatever consumption overall gave to them it's not independence because it's going to be like hand controlled by customs and opel there. in almost as specifically stated there to all major questions have to be consulted with consent to normal it's also auditors 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 parish is a broad 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 war all out 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 forces that was believe us before being persecuted and will be persecuted even harsher. i mean you're right up to date the join me for the latest news headlines updates on our top stories in half an hour.

you know world big partners do things a lot for us 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. 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. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. we're going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got

this memo from the circulating branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort or an easy for. us. from. our.
