the floor you can call the fifty pound is worthless woody allen or running on the level of oxycodone. q what i think is this is the found that there is a constant thank you.

violence on take us in the french capital markets thirteen consecutive weekends against pulling living standards and what protesters call an increasingly repressive government. all say this how with venezuela in the throes of a humanitarian crisis is opposition leader says he's not without calling for a u.s. military intervention against president mentor a. lot of them we would do everything possible once again this is obviously very very controversial subjects we would say was necessary. and the primaries school in england strolls the ire of parents to teaching children about same sex relationships and. the should learn about not right now because if you get your sandwich at the ball to get within like it's true you know

if you want to teach or we could teach in the home. it's just ten six pm head in moscow you're watching aussie international the top story the thirteenth consecutive weekends of the i best. in france has descended into horror with a protester losing his hands amid clashes with police a video agency ruptly film for the moments right after a warning there you may find the following video distressing. the. well situation seems to be something that we've seen for many weeks here in paris

clashes between the police and the protesters with tear gas being used to disperse protesters and also grenades also being shot into the crowd but of course the protesters are normally the ones who do start off these scuffles by throwing projectiles such as rocks and broken glass to wards the police but what we've seen today is it seems that one of the protesters one of the gilles asians who is actually photographing the event for the social movement actually had a his hand blown off in a grenade one of my colleagues from brockley ruse that they heard to coordinate they said they heard a commotion they said it was incredibly difficult doing their job with a huge amount of tear gas around but this is not the first time we've seen injuries like this since the movement started back on november seventeenth basically back on december tenth in budo protested that actually picked a grenade up and it exploded as he held in his hand there's also been many other

injuries in these protests including more than a dozen people who have lost their lives since the start of these protests and the figures suggest that some one thousand seven hundred plus chelation ones have been injured in some method or another and also a thousand engine dom and police officers who've also been injured as a result of these protests but despite all of those injuries the protesters say they will continue coming out to the streets. our demands remain in place that's why we are marching we're demanding better salaries and conditions in france. we're here because we don't want to be subject to government decisions without having a say we have one group the elite let's call them who decide whether we have the right to eat not what we have to pay for our message is the same this marsh we want a better life so what has the government done to try and stem these protests well a president gave a big speech back in december where he announced that the minimum wage the simic

would rise by a hundred euros a month he also said the people who are in bonuses for the end of the year they wouldn't have to pay social contributions and that in tax and people who over time would be in a similar situation no tax no social contributions on that and the government is in the middle of a national debate across france getting people together to air their concerns to talk about the things that matter to them so the government can decide whether to make changes that people say or not however the jle asians have said this isn't enough and many felt that the offers the concessions being given by present might go on with too little too late and that's why they've kept coming out to the streets and now we're hearing that the protesters are going to change tactics permanently the government is becoming more and more repressive we denounce the extreme violence and the use of excessive force the authorities not seeking compromise but passing laws that limit our rights so we have collectively decided not to declare the time and place of demonstrations and powers from now on rule not

be the partners in crime with the government now in terms that we're not sure how many people have come out across france today but last weekend it was just over fifty eight thousand followers figures than what we saw at the start of the movement when almost three hundred thousand people took out to the streets but what is clear is that they still have the support of the majority of the french people with a recent poll showing that two out of three people still support the chelation and their movement. we spoke with a witness of the moments the l.a. vest photographer lost his hands he told us what happens. when people were trying to force their way in the police arrived and threw grenades one hit the guy's work who tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction and the grenade went off we spoke to patricia shani on the regional counsellor for the national party she says it's time the french government

offered up a political solution. pulled by the science that we see an heiress today of course we are against any violence from any side coming from any so we can condemn any any type of violence however it should have been clear to my crime to the french government after thirteen weeks manifestations that needs to be political and a political solution offered to these two yellow cards this cannot go on and not be reinforced. making the french people and the fringe of these conflict which is that we can resolve this conflict the government needs to be thinking about this is the solution. one of italy's deputy prime ministers has claimed the l a vest movement is changing the face of european politics that we did to my says he believes the continents will move away from traditional right and left leaning

parties the comments comes after relations between paris and rome took another serious blow when to my best activists in france. i was struck by the fact that among the coins some yellow vest posters there were themes that now supports the rights of the left and the public needs first that's why i wanted to meet the yellow best man but i believe that the future of european politics is no longer with right to left wing parties especially seeing that some of those right to left partisan europe are calling themselves new when in fact that traditional after day my tweeted a photo of him alongside the l.f.s. leaders and protesters say earlier this week paris recalled it sent boy to italy for consultation france then sent it sanger to sleaze top officials accusing them of baseless attacks and even calling it an unprecedented situation since the end of world war two relations between the two countries have quickly deteriorated so for a number of animated and strained exchanges political commentator sean bricmont

told us he believes the l.a. facts have much in common with at least five star movement. in the french government sustain situation to complain about the interference of the mail and you know there are fares when you see what they have just done and there is really where the. government who doesn't even got all the county and presumably not we not do that except to foreign intervention military intervention dating united states so it's a little bit like the do they need if you can. go on. them and the polish government like mad cause the heatedly then they don't see where the dungeons god you know be friend with a movement which is a bit similar to the five star movement in italy in them young woman which is neither right nor left that we just as big dog food i mean they're for seventy so very similar to the earth except now their own burrow in the in the midst of a far from being bourbon on sea where the communication between the two i mean

doesn't make any sense given you know the fact that we are all europeans in plenty . moving on now in tensions between venezuela's beleaguered president and the leader of the opposition a rising. up the ante on friday by telling the a.f.p. news agency that he's not warning outscoring for u.s. military intervention against nicolas maduro. that i will then know we would do everything possible once again this is obviously a very very controversial subject the making use of our sovereignty and within our jurisdiction we would do what's necessary i mean. opposes trained as agents of foreign governments of the united states introduce sources of unrest of internal chaos to dismember the states. in venezuela they have driven us to the point that libya was taken over syria was taken to the point of an armed opposition they have

attempted that but we have not allowed them to and venezuela is at peace with. military intervention is actually one of the main talking points between both venezuelan president nicolas maduro and the self-proclaimed present them with dura has already denounced the us as imperialist and his exclusive interview with our team and he's also visiting many military bases across the country is encouraging the troops to remain loyal and he's overseeing the armament of people's militias there now on the other hand why don't has he hasn't ruled out authorizing the u.s. to intervene and he's been trying for over the past several weeks to encourage military officials to defect and with very limited success and that's because many people in venezuela don't think inviting the u.s. was. idea. washington believes. its reaction stems from its pivot to doctrine of overthrowing regimes and democratic systems that don't like having their arms twisted the humanitarian aid is

a big lie it's the wost possible diagnosis of the situation we've seen that is no humanitarian crisis the us is trying to frame the situation in a way that would allow it to invade venezuela this won't happen we won't let it happen the army and civilians are united and determined to defend the country sovereignty and territorial integrity. now why don't the us say that this humanitarian crisis is very real except what aid means is actually a point of contention between the parties the venezuelan government claims it intercepted an arms shipment from the us earlier this week and it there there was reportedly assault rifles ammunition communications equipment flown in from miami as as a result the military has blocked roads leading into the country from colombia one of the us is. and amidst these reports the red cross is stressed that humanitarian aid needs to stay nonpolitical. humanitarian aid can never be

a political issue we cannot divide a population on the issue of him in the terran house because humanitarian aid is always neutral it this is a difficult moment when it's civil society to appreciate this kind of work which is aimed at people in need you know with the lines were drawn starting several weeks ago when go i don't know announced his claim to the presidency the washington based organization of american states immediately supported. and followed in the u.s. his footsteps but countries like russia china mexico cuba they quickly reacted in support of the duros government now most e.u. countries also decided to back why do after madeira refused their ultimatum to hold another presidential election and u.s. national security advisor john bolton called on these pro proma door governments to switch sides doubling down on the bad but doesn't make it to good that there is still time for russian others to join the community of responsible nations and recognizing why do the national assembly in the path to freedom and prosperity in

the. now although no one has yet to take bolton's advice the situation is definitely getting more tense and any changes in international legion says are certainly going to influence the domestic situation there venezuela based chen lest pulled up and believes that if one day where to ask for u.s. military intervention it would lead to disaster. i think it's a very foolish move by one where you know. if he has any chance of achieving his political objective of austin the elected government he's going to meet popular support in venezuela he will not be able to do that just on the back of the us for foreign military intervention is a lesson we should be learned from syria from iraq and numerous other cases of u.s. military interventions over the last twenty years why whether it's very definitely eighty a meeting a very significant chunk of those who back him at the end of the day. ticks.

recession hit countries and exchange for structural reforms. in light of events in venezuela wiki leaks recently drew attention to a document published in two thousand and eight which it calls a u.s. coup manual it details washington's use of global financial institutions like the i.m.f. and the world bank to advance its agenda and wage unconventional warfare against its rivals. if properly authorized in coordinated u.s. army special operations forces can use or coordinate for other agencies to use measured in focus financial incentives or disincentives to persuade adversaries allies and sarah gets to modify their behavior at the theater a strategic operational and tactical levels such application of financial power must be part of a second suspect integrated and consistent unconventional warfare plan. well three town lest michael hudson think says nothing new in the u.s.
