2:01 pm
also coming up with venezuela in the throes of a humanitarian crisis its own position leaders say is he's calling for a u.s. military intervention against president maduro. that we would do everything possible once again this is obviously a very very controversial subject we would do what's necessary. under primary school in england draws the ire of parents for teaching children about same sex relationships dale beatty writes. should learn about all right now because if you get your parents. to be good with the like it's good to you if you want to teach and we can teach them a home. around the clock across the world this is your r t international from the teen myself you know no hello. and welcome to our top story
2:02 pm
a thirteenth consecutive weekend of yellow vest rallies in france the sended into horror with a protester losing his home made clashes with police or video agency ruptly film the moments immediately afterwards a warning you may find the following video stressing. he was never. heard of no use. to. the national assembly and people were trying to force their way in the police arrived and threw grenades one hit the guy who tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction and the grenade went off well the situation seems to be something that we've seen for many weeks here in paris clashes between the police and the protesters with tea a gas being used to disperse protesters and also grenades also being shot into the
2:03 pm
crowds 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 one of the protesters one of the gilles asians who's actually photographing the event for the social movement actually had a his hand blown off in a grenade on television and the man volunteer medics were first at the scene two of ours rushed up to help him do the general commotion another team of medics surrounded him to wall him off when a person is in that condition he needs to breathe properly he don't want crowds gathering around watching and filming that would frighten the injured person even more. but this is not the first time we've seen injuries like this since the movement started back on november seventeenth at basically back on december tenth improved protester that actually picked a canadian up and it excluded as he held in his hand there's also been many other
2:04 pm
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 generations have been injured in some method another i also. a thousand. police officers has 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 for demands remain in place that's why we are marching we're demanding better salaries and conditions in france because we're here because we don't want to be subject to government decisions without having a say we have one group the elite of them who decide whether we have the right not what we have to pay for our message is the same this harsh 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
2:05 pm
would rise by a hundred euros a month he also said that 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 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 the changes that people say or not however this illegals have said this isn't enough for many well that the offers the concessions being given by present that 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
2:06 pm
the time and place of demonstrations and powers from now on rule not be the partners in crime with the government there was the mention there of a law to limit right so what these relations are referring that series what's known as the anti hooligan or it was discussed we. by deputies the m.p.'s in the lower house in the national assembly and they've approved that now that law it's going to move on to the senate before it goes on the statute books but that law would essentially limit some of the individuals from going to protest if they deem to be a public threat also part of the is the idea that if you cover your face going into a protest even with the simple scarf you could be nigh able to eat in jail and a fine of fifteen thousand euros so many people claiming that this new law which is set to pass in the next few weeks here in france is actually contra against their civil liberties like if you use our political analyst nickel america virtue say if
2:07 pm
the anti riot bill becomes law with only seeing more yellow vests on the streets i've seen just ordinary people who are going out to demonstrate who are peaceful people who cannot stand anymore to have the only answer from the government being violence the cancer down the mace the pepper spray the counts down the grenades the counts of the oppression from the government and if tomorrow they cannot cover the face because police fired tear gas at them what type of democracy is this i think on the contrary this will be more people to the u.s. don't forget that the o. best are still extremely popular in france today imagine that this bill could. police to impeach people from going to demonstrations because there's a doubt that they might bring troubles to the demonstrations this is minority report we're going to arrest people send them to jail because we think that maybe they may commit a crime this is crazy and this is really what is written into law this is just
2:08 pm
showing the tyrannical side of mt today and i think it's going to bring more french people to the streets to the internet to the social networks to denounce the system until until he leaves. tensions between then this wheel is beleaguered president and the leader of the opposition are rising one growing up the ante on friday by telling the news agency that he's not ruling out calling for a u.s. military intervention against nicolas maduro. but i mean you 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. 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
2:09 pm
attempted that but we have not allowed them to and venezuela is at peace out of. military intervention is actually one of the main talking points between both venezuelan president nicolas maduro and the self-proclaimed president one guy i don't know what dura has already denounced the u.s. as imperialist in 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. the idea that washington believes model must go 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
2:10 pm
a big lie it's the worst 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 and 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. it's 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 you know with the lines were drawn starting several weeks ago when i go i go announced his claim to the presidency the washington based organization of american states
2:11 pm
immediately supported. and followed in the u.s. his footsteps but countries like russia china mexico cuba they quickly reacted in support of my government now most e.u. countries also decided to back why don't the dural refuse their ultimatum to hold another presidential election and u.s. national security advisor john bolton called on these pro governments to switch sides doubling down on the bad bad doesn't make it to good bad there is still time for russia not those to join the community of responsible nations and recognizing why do the national assembly and 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 another aspect to this the international monetary fund said on thursday that it is holding talks with member states and
