i i france is a yellow vests movement shows no sign of letting up in twenty nineteen holding more nationwide protests against the government. and used to shake the weak funerals have been held for the victims of the apartment block collapse in the russian city of twenty two boards in which thirty nine lives replied. the us government shutdown enters a week as the round over funding from the border wall drags on. celebrating christmas including right across russia we're bringing you live pictures from moscow's largest church this is the scene there right now in the

cathedral of christ the savior. great to have you with this is international. it may be a new year but it's the same yellow vests protests continuing to tax the french authorities at least fifty thousand of the movement's members once again took to streets across the country on saturday there were minor scuffles in paris as protesters there set barricades on fire and called for president to resign. i . was.

the. there's only if you can what 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 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. but despite the government climbing down over fuel tax increases the rallies are still continued for eight consecutive weekends earlier in this week the yellow

vests launched a blistering attack on president 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 when disturbances growing among your micron has condemned the yellow vests via twitter calling on the protestors to calm down and to recommit to dialogue the mayor of the town of mace on the feed believes the president's reform plans are simply out of touch with what the public wants. it 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 and to which the french doglike so i think it is absolutely dreaming you know the european the church or and i think is absolutely. absolutely out of the common sense of the

french today i think that the luck role as been elected by chance but is not having a huge ledger it seems 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 front to seems to other european countries pro bragg's the demonstrators in london of now also adopted the all of us the symbol was a rally in the capital on saturday that resulted in clashes leading police to make several arrests including a thirteen year old girl. she was one of four people taken into custody during the demonstration a demo that saw protesters who smoke bombs at the police the group marched across the capitol blocking bridges disrupting traffic around one hundred people to be

high visibility jackets they shouted insults about the prime minister and called for the ukase immediate exit from the european. now it's officially orthodox christmas in all the eleven time zones of russia these are pictures for you from st petersburg where vladimir putin is attending services honoring the birth of jesus christ the divine liturgy in russia's largest orthodox place of worship that's moscow's cathedral of christ the savior that is also underway ark. is just outside the cathedral and joins us on the line how is the atmosphere. the atmosphere is great here nearly in the center of moscow and while most people have finished their winter break and they're getting ready to go back to work there are pockets of communities across the world who are celebrating christmas eve it's one of the most important dates in the diary and people have traveled from all over the country to enjoy the ceremony here tries to save it to

theaters that you can see behind me and we managed to get a few comments from people who wanted to go there especially for tonight. this is a band the best of christ is very important for us but decided to charge children because they're in moscow for the first time and they consider all the prize this is their manner. lapham's and that is burnt and from. i'm from almighty kazakstan i usually come to russia for such big religious events . i'm from are there and i wanted to spend christmas right here in the cathedral. and it's not just russia that celebrating there around fifteen other countries across the world like serbia syria greece and macedonia who are also attending this very special service now if you'll a little confused as to why they're celebrating thirteen days after the twenty

fifth of december is because they follow different calendar they follow the julian calendar which as the name suggests was set up by julius caesar way back in forty five b.c. most of the world has adopted the gregorian calendar and that was set up by pope gregory the thirteenth. fifteen eighty two but the julian calendar celebrates christmas eve on the sixth of january and christmas day on the seventh of january which is what we're seeing this evening now the group go in christmas as we all know is preceded by advent the chilean christmas is preceded by a forty day nativity fast it's called weather restrictions to what you can eat and that ends tonight families will enjoy a holy supper and that consists of twelve dishes to represent twelve apostles it really is a beautiful evening and inside the ceremony people can enjoy singing traditional hymns enjoying the atmosphere there and praying with their fellow orthodox

christians and even though it's a very very long ceremony they say that is one of the most beautiful services that they will experience over the course of the. many thanks of course from the just side of the cathedral and we got a glimpse of what a beautiful scene it is inside with the ceremony still underway. it's christmas celebration is occurring amid a deep crisis for the orthodox church a 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 that split to the head of the new church or many politicians in ukraine they are related to decision some orthodox christians are concerned about potential consequences but even in a very explicit. long awaited present has finally been delivered to ukraine patriarch of constantinople has granted ukrainian art 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 question shoot. thank god it would be impossible without god's blessing. i want to thank the millions of ukrainians across the this has become possible thanks to your prayers well sems like for once happy but once all the fuss about churches independence from whole. per se interests ukrainian are to dogs church has been under control of moscow patrick kate 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. all to us 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 our dogs church can control only territory with then ukraine and there's perhaps but it creates a need perishes abroad and all disputes are going to be sas walls by constantino people so basically it is just replacing moscow mike. unscented noble but well president par schenkel is struggling in the pools they had of marsh 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 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 split and put the unity of orthodox christianity as a whole in danger and inside ukraine in church itself there is not mind she unanimity when the plan of autonomy has been announced back in autumn one of the branches if you 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. sort of church history at st tikhon's orthodox university alexander talking gave us his take on the split. the majority of ukrainian church goers belong to the canonical church the church of the ukraine. under the potomac eight 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 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 hand controlled by customs and 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 come paid

a fortune for the church has been mixed the religion has been mixed into into into the politics nobody thinks about the rights of your premium or so those believe others believe for being persecuted and will be persecuted even harsher. the democrats in the united states to put forward new ideas to unlock the government shutdown but the republicans don't seem too keen to get on board will explain all after the break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow i want to. get it right to be close it's like the forks three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city. come back a 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 as the homes collapsed in the early hours of the morning of new year's eve. sister the witch and secret formula. but the shot in the office might be it with you should it be easy to fill up the game which in simi dumps to get the much of a couple of shots at the last the last took a serial data mammal number washboard to slice provides solution a deal was called the creature alabama needs to see to a competitive she was content with getting the sort of raise a shoulder and not impeach allergan seen a machine the creature al gore spicey to be and is now with stood still for specific.

suitable words to belittle. them just. to do it was a somewhat to install the bitch not. mature adult. leadership much like you. see is that a bad supply chain is my horse faster than the ocean. and you holkins heard 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 but 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 smarting is that of a woman they are innocent of all i see it was. just a child somebody needs to stand on and on bush so wanted to be sure to just let you have it when you're could you were sure what their own and as you spoke to these people more and more stories emerged one such 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 have come together offering their support for the political news in. the squad to. give them the need to this time so much bonnie. good to shut up over the solution of my mil told me. most of the prison lights in

the. one of the songs in which children inversion could have been put in and then we saw a pile of flowers of candles soft toys and i was getting bigger and bigger as many of them quite emotional interiors coming here to express their condolences there simply is offer 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 the deadlock over funding his border war which has seen the government in partial shutdown for more than two weeks that present neither the white house nor the democrats were backing down. border say we're in a shutdown because democrats refused to fund a border security situation with you except. for this president over. one

dollar. it's not who we are is a nation i'm very proud of doing what i'm doing because. 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. 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 has passed two bills to fund reopen federal government but they don't include funding for a border wall that's prompted trying to threaten to veto legislation democrats argue such a war would be un-american the president claims the idea has widespread support.

and to hammer home his stance donald trump took to instagram on this occasion with a statement of intent as he posted this video. are accurate your legal immigration is wrong plain and simple. ground. or standoff over the war only looks set to intensify with the democrat bills heading now to the republican controlled senate let's be honest they're likely to be voted down there we discussed the border wall issue with now dry and from the conservative group american majority and with the robert patillo a civil rights lawyer. 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'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 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 as wall or democrats going to deny him that and also you know at a certain point we have to acknowledge the left base and sided 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 deadly this is getting paid for and we need a concrete 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 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 to 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 a said here is my non-negotiable nancy pelosi has 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. things up for this news and indeed for me this evening saw i'd like to take advantage to. you is a very merry christmas to all of you watching at home. tomorrow stick around though michael thomas will be here with updates for you in thirty minutes.

nobody could see coming that false confessions would that profile in the spot the waste the fall. had any interest geisha out there what bill see is promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said they're forward. sound a statement that i will be calm about it the next day there's a culture of accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the car crash.

us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going out for the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the well being of their own soldiers and their own ready several generations of them so i just got this memo was circulated printed off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money on those dives 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 for. a country's gone into a nihilistic. that's why i'm think and they've got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlottes and the
