a yellow. police the government movement takes to the streets for a third consecutive weekend. in the week's biggest stories. calling for a u.s. military intervention to overthrow. we speak to both men.

the trauma suffered by the. live from moscow with the roof. seven days this is the weekly arts international i mean and. our top story being rocked by a thirteenth straight weekend of yellow vest protests with clashes again breaking out between demonstrators and police in the capital one person parts of the blown off by a crowd control grenade. recorded the aftermath and please be warned some of the

imagery is graphic. was was was. was kind of. was it too soon me of the national assembly and people were trying to force their way in the police arrived and threw grenades one hit the guy's leg and he tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction and the grenade went off our sister channel r.t. france spoke with the father of the protester who lost his. on our susan we stayed in the hospital and to late night to find out what's going to happen with him he's lost everything from the wrist down then we met the ophthalmologist to talk about his i he's only wasn't affected too much the some superficial wounding but his hand

is gone we'll file a complaint and then see what happens and shake his mom does on a sunday and yesterday sebastian basically lost his hand in front of the national assembly he's crippled and he's a plumber he needs his hand to deal with basic daily stuff he's lost and because i don't know if you understand how symbolic it is but sebastian lost his hand in front of the national assembly the house of the people and the government hasn't said a word they are concerned about the fact that the house of mr feraud the president of the national assembly was burned but is just material resources while in front of the second residency of mr for iran the president of the national assembly a person has lost his hand of the very arson attack mentioned there on the home of the head of the national assembly wasn't directly linked to protestors similar tactics were used those with several car set on fire. began last november over rising living costs and quickly morphed into

a broader until the government protests county authorities estimate that more than fifty thousand people rallied nationwide on saturday four thousand of them in paris . so what has the government done to try and stem these protests well at present michael gave a big speech back in december where he announced that the minimum wage the cynic would rise by. a hundred euros a month he also said that people who were in bonuses for the n.b.a. they wouldn't have to pay social contributions and that a new 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 have said this isn't enough for many well 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 protest isn't 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 do the time and place of demonstration some 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 who it was discussed recently 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 protests if they deemed to be a public threat also part of the rule is the idea that if you cover your face going into a protest even with the simple stuff you could be liable to up to a year 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 but i'm against this law because where is the proof that these are real hooligans the government. who's who's a hooligan and who's not going to see this law as against the march as it's to stop people rallying to scare people. that gives or to this war against the rioters creates question i find it a bit appalling i guess it's a complicated issue will they determine the real writers that's the real question

or will they just pick up any you know a vast 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 that if tomorrow they cannot cover their face because police fired tear gas at them what type of democracy is this is this bill could enable 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 just showing the tyrannical side of mt today and i think it's going to be more central to the streets to the internet to the social networks to denounce the system until until he leaves. ok to another big ongoing story of the week venice will a self-proclaimed interim leader one wind will blame the country's ongoing crisis

on the volatility of the majority government mr spoke exclusively to r.t. here is a short extract from that interview. i mean is there anything that. millions of in the skip supports and nicolas maduro how are you planning to win them over let them hear is out all we want is to be heard and for our plan for the country's restoration to be heard a future we're building together i've told you that recently just a few days ago we had a meeting with ministers who worked on the chavez not the child us today youth function members of a student movement were in attendance to let them heroes now let them hear is in the future but politics is notoriously full of good intentions what if you fail to make good on your promises to politics and life first and foremost it's about being attentive and then you can come good on those deeds actions on the delivery of humanitarian aid the protection of our assets the protection of our citizens the protection of newborn babies who should not have died in and so

a few days ago because of the vanity of some people and there are only a few of them who don't even recognize this is a crisis which is recognized by the u.n. and many other organizations more of the interview will be shown tomorrow monday here at r.t. international also during the week we speak to venezuela's president himself nicolas maduro he pledged to resist washington's push for regime change you can watch the full interview at r.t. dot com sort of a there will be no war or military intervention in venezuela but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't get ready to fight for our land use every media outlet to urge the entire world heads of state heads of government or world leaders social movements and the international community to denounce the absurd steps trying this taking against venezuela and to stop him threaten us with a military intervention in venezuela has not surrender and never will what's donald

trump sconces belli against venezuela what is it do we have w m d s i we have threat to u.s. national security you know what the cost is bally's here then is a well. an oil man as well as resources go and natural gas diamonds or water our material wealth and the twenty first century and he's not the time for cannon fire and military threats no the twenty first century should be a century of dialogue civilized behavior politics respect for guy peace peace who coexistence and finding peaceful diplomatic solutions to international conflicts dielike is the most important thing for venezuela it is a remark to. well most western countries no recognize one interim leader of tennis with a but until recently why do was an almost all known figure. goes through. they've made him the new interim president but haven't learned how to say his name . in

a present one go you know one guido ok mr pompei oh my i have issues with spanish so you know why. we don't like what you know if you know it's probably not about the language it's just that a little while ago very few people knew who. was even in men as well and i had never heard that name before the first time i had about him was in social media when he declared himself president. just recently supposedly he's the other president of venezuela which honestly think is a joke. here where you don't the first time i heard about why go it was two years ago. though so you. go i don't on the short while ago and when this political situation started a little bit for those abroad who loathes nicolas maduro there's an easier last name to say if you've never heard of low poll the low because some very important

people will definitely have. venezuela should allow lippold alone a political prisoner and husband toting out of prison immediately this man's political ambitions have arranged for a mayor of caracas to the president's office his wife has made friends with world leaders as if she was part of let's say the g. twenty herself so why do we keep on hearing we've recognized why and why go as the new president instead of we've recognized hold a low because first of all he's now under house arrest after being in all kinds of trouble with law enforcement but even his wife says that doesn't stop him from pulling the strings at home he works with all of the opposition everyone he speaks with her on why don't you he's not president and all of the members of popular will and members of all the parties the big ones and the little ones he's taken charge of uniting the opposition why dose says they're always in contact and always see

eye to eye while even the american media is hinting mr why don't you could just be a pawn in someone else's hand according to the opposition party though he makes his own decisions your polo has been imprisoned for almost five years now so communication with him it's very difficult we have to stick with him so he's funny so i mean basically. gives ideas that decisions are being made by one and the rest of the. perhaps for those who are trying to overthrow a government because of how authoritarian and corrupt it is admitting the whole show is being run by someone who could be a full on state department puppet is kind of dodgy we can leaks has spilled the beans on exchanges between us diplomats with step by step descriptions of how leopoldo lopez should rise to power by the way speaking of scandals lopez's wife was all over the news when

a mountain of local cash worth sixty thousand bucks was found in her car. this money is to pay for my grandma who is hundred years old and has been hospitalized three days she has no insurance and a country where it takes a suitcase full of all of our bills to buy a coffee no one out there protesting in the street has that kind of money so maybe someone like why and why do so without the awkward baggage is an easier sell. at least half of young people in syria have growing up knowing only war many are living with severe trauma that's according to a report from the international charity unicef our t.v. crew met with children who grew up in areas controlled by extremists you can watch the full show on our t.v. dot com for now though here's part of it. even the lawsuit has issued

channel the sun on a santa general tone or nervous when i don't eat i want to be baba now wondering around a bag of trash over under nine am trying emphasis on the facade a hand. i can say short decision of the. day it comes to show. chauffeur. genesee and falun gong montanna. i adore you the war news and the war a war a smile swore what a good boy and not boss what news you know how to.

meanwhile in neighboring iraq many youngsters have of course grown up in similar circumstances and a group of russian children who spent time in a prison with their mothers are being brought back to moscow this video from the russian emergencies ministry shows them arriving at a mosque or where there are twenty seven children in total aging between four and thirteen the exact details of how they ended up in iraq are unclear but it's believed many of them were brought there by their radicalized parents all of them are being resettled in the homes of both. there is unusual additional double trumps a list of the big threats facing america in twenty nineteen find out what it is up to the shortest of bricks.

which of us is revolution is screeching to a halt inflation and unemployment cause millions to leave venezuela world powers a locked over whether the president maduro should stay but the real question is should the country move on from its current crisis. you know world of big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that midstream 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.

approaching one thousand minutes into the program welcome back his highly anticipated state of the union address on tuesday trump outlined some of the threats he believes america is facing among them illegal immigration terrorism and socialism and with income inequality continuing to grow in the us the left wing ideas do seem to be on the rebound as came up in reports and those who watched state of the union address but have a hard time missing one particular moment the topic of socialism america will never be. socialist country boy i i not mild words at all and it's not the first time the trump has raised the

specter of socialism all nations of the world should resist socialism. and the misery that it bring us to everyone. but the socialists they say that he was just afraid of their rising popularity i had thought it was fabulous because it shows that we've gotten under his skin and he has no vision for this country everything is about what he doesn't want everything is about the boogie man and they've got a point after all bernie sanders is one of the most popular politicians in the country but. it's not only republicans that are fearing the rise of socialism you've also got the establishment in the blue corner concerned as now at this point a majority of democrats say that socialism is the way forward for america through work and saying one of the things is to ensure is that democratic socialism is the

said in the party be ready to know. that disunity and perhaps. i would say capitalisation of the party presented by the republicans trouble media going as far as printing guidelines on how to inoculate your children against the rising ideological danger. so we decided to go out to the districts here in new york that elected alexandria a kazuo cortez the rising star of democratic socialism and we decided to see how people here feel about the ideology that went pretty far in defining the twentieth century and why do you think people here voted for her. to vote of her because she

was prudie she voted verb because girls meant to do it but they also voted for because of the change from the guy that was in it before who's very much liked in bed to a lot of people for the short of being anything. to veer away from what trump is doing i had to do fool people feel more confident about what's going on you know trump recently said the usa will never be a socialist country do you agree with him. i guess so yeah i think he's right. i don't see that happening in states being great now we know anything that comes out of his mouth is the complete opposite he's from brazil or world so if he says america will never be so it was going through i feel very good nor going to miracle will become a socialist country are you afraid of socialism. will. to some extent yeah i don't think it will be appropriate for this country i don't know too much pot its size and i don't know if i could be afraid of it no no we also got a chance to speak with journalist dan was there dan can you tell me is socialism no

longer a dirty word in american politics well it's a dirty word still in certain quarters but it's more acceptable now in other quarters and it was a few years ago and asked to bernie sanders and and alexandria ocasio cortez now do you think it is possible that bernie sanders might run against trump there saying he's the most likely to be trump is it possible that we could get a trump versus sanders ticket in the upcoming election i think it's very possible but i don't want part of the predictions but i think it's very possible yes and is that something the democratic party leadership is afraid of the thing they're out there terrified of that i think that if that happens every democratic politician in the country would running for cover. as a member of sanders is not a democrat just as trump is not really a republican so we'll have to have a non-democratic versus not republican and everyone in between just just hiding their head in the sand and try to forget gore what's going on for a long time it seemed like the s. word was almost profanity and we see the establishment trying to stoke up the same

old fears once again however it seems like in twenty nineteen socialism is back on the table for debate caleb mop and r.t. new york. russia's ambassador to the u.s. done with r t this week to speak a budget number of issues including the stumbling blocks existing between the two countries but he also talked about the areas where their interests do a lot for close cooperation take a look. i am if treaty is the deal with the security of european countries and the russian federation i know if is not good with the security. in europe it will be a crisis of security for european countries of course we will find solution we will fine. we'll all home ice united states did solve dairies issue in that region and we are a dear to cooperate together we are looking very attentively at the situation in

this country because. such countries like tragical stand between east and was biggest. to their three germ and we see some. troops appeared on the border between alliance and going to stand and of course when we are very much done so on what is going on. we hardly appreciated all efforts and made by united states in these regard and we already took operate together to find a solution how to from one side to dismantle nuclear program of north korea and at the same time to eastend sion and to ease sanctions against the government of north korea. i don't understand why russian from so why germany or western countries have to be punished for these economic project it's not position

of the russian federation but it is position of other west on the european countries who can see there that this project is very useful. there is nothing policy in the sight of these. project. all right max kaiser spike on the all-american eye when x. this time tracking in the breaking bad filming location starts but in albuquerque new mexico on the tourism trail episode six starts. the swarm see the blue of them so moving. who was before. much of those who heard it's a preview are. slim we will. we will we're going to. move
