what a whole existence to do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rescued. it's a right to be cross that's what the forecast three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. quest. i am. i am. truly sorry clashes and tear gas are the fourteenth weekend of yellow best protesters hundred gathering areas against the president of france for across what's happening in the french capital throughout the day. u.s. vice president mike pence oscar lysis and resorts is on personnel to syria as

washington readies to pull out. and most go on to mask and agree to work until he monetary and corridos for refugees stuck in a tent camp in the us controlled syrian territory. a very warm welcome to you watching r.t. international with minichiello. has been on the rest of the latest yellow vest protests in paris where hundreds gathered for the fourteenth consecutive weekend action against president micron's government place use tear gas and some protesters have been detained so it depends. you might just be able to see in the distance that we've got protesters who are throwing what appeared to be rocks to wards if you just turn the camera around

towards this line of security forces over here this is being a pretty much a cat and game cats and mouse game going on between the two with the police responding then with tear gas you might just see a couple more of those rocks landing there to wards the police forces as they coming the protesters here thousands of them we've got some me he's burning in the e.u. flag right in front of a. say many of the jle asians don't like the european union either but those rocks now project does being thrown quite full simply against the police and you can see now. being into woods just with what looks like tear gas pellets going off and if i know of those don't like to be grenades coming from the protesters this is now the tear gas that's coming into the protest group from

the police you can see those kind of states being distributed in the air fern up and you can see the tear gas now all across the floor hey just in front of all the leads in this center of paris that casts all run just in fact take all a look around in circling where we are the idea to move these protesters away some of them have been seeing the police getting closer and closer to them some of the protesters that cooling. to resign that's of course we get quite a lot for people out on the streets in the yellow vests in particular i want you to take a look around now you can barely see down to would only lead as that smoke just envelops this by that gas already coming in already. so we just got to try and move away from it because it really just pick out your

throats in your eyes. you see people coughing. as a result of that to go. for what. is really pretty nasty when it gets into a story this is now act fourteen thousands of people came out to paris many people had thought that this pops. the last. saturday protest of the chili jones but i want to have spoken to say that's not the case many unhappy about the thousands of people who've been arrested in this result of this protest movement we've heard about eighteen hundred people who've gone through the court system so far including a couple of high profile cases including by the book so just earlier in the week and every queuing is one of the so-called it is over so we just bring you back to

where that police line is you can see there that is one of the water cannons that they use it has actually been deployed during that huge plume of gas that we saw there just in the last few minutes now the government has offered the relations many concessions including a rise in the simic which is the minimum wage and saying that those who over time or have been issued pay social contributions or tax there's also this big debate going on but one thing this government has done to really anger many people out in the streets particularly visualizations is this motion at the moment that's going through that would make it illegal to come to a protest like this and to cover your face with some people if they were cool doing not able to face up to a year in prison or a fine of several thousand pounds so that's really and get the relations and they've just said to me that this is

a movement that's been going on now for three months and they have absolutely no intention of finishing it show that you can ski r.t. paris. the topic of syria has been one of the major discussion points during day two of the munich security conference and lots of america's decisions of pull its troops out of the country u.s. finds president mike pence floated the idea that european soldiers should replace them in the middle east let's go live now to our europe correspondent peter all of us. an interesting suggestion from mike pence there is a europe saying it is there tends to shift the conflict onto them do you think. well it does seem that the comments from the vice president were in response to something that was said by angola merkel early on saturday she voiced her concerns that a u.s. troop withdrawal from syria could well end up being a destabilizing factor in the region.

is the stanley would is it a good idea of the americans to pull out of syria immediately and so swiftly doesn't it make the possibility of iran and russia increasing their influence there . would seem that washington would like to see europe take up it would seem that washington will take up some of this what would washington would like europe to take up some of the slack when it comes to them pulling out in northern syria basically the united states wants europe to put some of its own boots on the ground i can't really see that being palatable to angola merkel and others as well many european countries especially germany have been reticent when it comes to sending their own military to syria or even taking part in military activity in the country at all now the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov also chipped in on mike pence his comments about this to say

. three guards or other plants by countries that are in syria illegitimately especially plans to get even more legitimate players there i don't think this would be helpful. while taking questions from journalists mr lavrov bristled when he was asked about alleged atrocities committed by the syrian government. the follow up question on syria this comes from josh rogin of the washington post how will you view ensure the assad regime stops threatening the region and stops committing atrocities against their own people. well i think you what whatever i answer you will write what you want so do it.

away from syria the normal stream to gas pipeline is also being up for discussion here in munich german chancellor angela merkel used to quite a big chunk of her address to the conference to say that she remained committed to the gas pipeline project which will see natural gas pipe directly from russia into germany under the baltic sea she said also that she wouldn't risk her country's relationship with russia over this pipeline deal. however the united states they hate the north stream to project they hate the whole north stream project in fact one of the reasons for that is that they want to sell their own liquefied natural gas to europe the problem is much more expensive than piping gas directly from russia into europe or mike pence said that those countries that opposed the north stream to pipeline well they were friends of his. the united states commands all

our european partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream to. and we commend others to do the same that's a is the flag of the i think no one wants to be unilaterally dependent on russia but we received russian gas not only in the d.d.r. where i lived but also in west germany during the cold and they don't see why the times today should be so much verse that we can no longer see russia remains apart not. whatever the u.s. vice president thing. about nord stream the gas will start flowing later this year when it's fully operational fifty five billion cubic meters of natural gas will be transported every year from russia under the baltic sea directly into germany. peter thanks for keeping across those developments for us as peace all of us speaking to his life from munich. of russia analyst michael mccall is how does patchi u.s. relations with germany could see key industries targeted so that washington gets its way relation to it in germany. of not being particularly good and you remember

that when trump came into power mogul read him a lecture almost like a church servant about how to behave and he goes he didn't like it from those days and she and he have not you know i do i and he would like to be able to impose sanctions on those companies and some of them are generally going to hell with the americans also have a weapon know what increasing nations on say car imports to the united states on the c.d.'s and so on and they may not go that far but they could threaten to do that so the americans have a lot of weapons in their own. russia has reached an agreement with damascus to weapon to humanitarian corridor was on the syria jordan border it will allow people trapped at the sprawling rock band every few to camps to leave the area russia's military warns that militants could still be active on the territory of

the camp and earlier we got more on the story from syria based journalist. the main deal now is to make to establish a corridor beginning from tuesday to let people graphic duties to use discouraged or to move to the areas which they are under control of the syrian government of course those people according to the statement of the agreement could get the needed to do in the caribbean eight as soon as they arrive to the first point the beginning of this corridor the problem is that we are talking about the camp that is fully under control of. militias which are which are backed by us all do all you are giving all needed military aid to those fighters they can't or they can't arrive any aid to the.

camp which suffers of severe home in the caribbean crisis this crisis is not regarded only short of food drinking water many reports they are talking about sexual explosion they are talking about human traffic this is not the first corridor that russia and syrian government stablish ing in syria they were succeeded and they gave good results and should be part of. this plan but the main problem of course now is u.s. role in this case because this is fully controlled of militias that are backed by us. and i'm bereft children living in conflict zones has doubled since the end of the cold war a new report by the charity save

the children says one in every five youngsters around the world now live in areas affected by armed conflicts. and your credit card the fact. that a while i warm up i will head up. the order to get. in the next. day didn't tell you you had. better to really have no idea what they did. but i get it done a chance. a

lot of them under the. un are not listen i have been a good long. john on the bus pass out of funny ass. does. not gravy any and tell me if you need any. or all of your. higher to hurt. some four hundred twenty million children live in conflict zones and at least a thousand die as a result every year since two thousand and ten the number of recorded cases of rights violations against children has almost tripled that includes cases of

killing maiming abduction and sexual violence the increase comes despite many of the world's most powerful figures campaigning for the protection of young people in war zones. forces continue their advance bearing down on the city of benghazi home to nearly seven hundred thousand men women and children prevent images of amaze seeded children how many more children have to die the whole route the humanitarian disaster that is killing tens and tens of thousands of defenseless children the death of children the destruction of hospitals all that is a massacre which needs to be condemned. our report today shows that right now almost one in five children on the planet living in conflicts and that's more than at any time in the last two decades. the consequences of living in these war zones catastrophic we have to make around three hundred babies are dying due to the

consequences of war every single day well in twenty seventeen four hundred twenty million children what i think we're living in areas affected by conflict that is an increase of two million on the previous year so what this is is really disturbing trend where more and more children are being caught up in conflicts international systems unsure of accountability breaking down so that when people commit crimes against children they know they can get away with it so what we're calling on this for the government to stand up for children and wars and ensure that when people do you perpetrate crimes against children held to account what we're really calling for today is for the u.k. government to its protection of civilians in conflict started first of all the u.k. government needs to ensure the curator of the heart of all of that defense diplomacy and ate and that they need to use i say to some of the most powerful tables in the well of the un nato to ensure that other countries policy. the

report identifies afghanistan iraq syria and yemen as being among the most dangerous countries for children nobel prize nominee and peace activist kathy kelly told us the international community needs to do much more to safeguard young people . children certainly can't be heard accountable for their governments whether it's military war or economic war and i think that because of greed and pride and dishonesty countries all around the world continue to wage war against the child the rights of the child should certainly be held countries could work together. much more effectively and so we have to take responsibility ourselves and then encourage other people to do likewise they must do everything they can to start this war and to stop killing starving children which between sanctions and humanitarian aid pressure we've got the latest on that as well as civil crisis and

plenty more after the break. the book took up the book the book the book the book the book why bad g.s.c. global financial crisis part two gets under way. it's a white multi-trillions of dollars gone in a heartbeat looking like castro gloria right here on planet. crazy. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so you want to be president and you. want to be rich. but you're going to proceed with what will. really be the. interest of

all those in the why. should. we. welcome back washington is continuing to ramp up the pressure on the venezuelan government on friday it hit the crisis stricken country state owned oil company and five of nicolas maduro as top officials with a fresh wave of sanctions the united states sought to justify the move by repeating its claim that the embattled president is undermining democracy and continuing to violate human rights at the same time the u.s. is starting to send a message and see aid to venezuela essential like food and medicine have already

been delivered to the colombian border but it's nicolas maduro is refusing to allow the supplies to cross into his country he says it's a cynical ploy by the trumpery ministration and some of temps to justify a possible military intervention event as. walen president also hates house of the colombian government which he accuses of a flagrant aggression. but after going to the cyclone via for our part our policy for colombia is peace and respect i cannot say the same about the government of the colombian president even to cater who has war plans against venezuela supported by the us empire i am not exaggerating donald trump and even duke a in the white house announced war plans using colombia against venezuela. president maduro is also opening a diplomatic channel by inviting elliot abrams to talks balkan explains the united states is special envoy to venezuela so if in his way his record in south america

isn't very promising elliot abrams the trumpet ministrations new special representative for venezuela has been assigned the task of restoring democracy in the country and he says he's up to it just look how well he did in el salvador from the day the president was elected in a free election to this day salvador has been a democracy that's a fabulous achievement yes the pro-u.s. candidate to war to a won the elections but how democratic was the situation there were human rights abuses and death squads everywhere in fact one of the worst massacres in the history of latin america happened around that time for.

now it has got confronted about the gruesome details before congress yes or no do you think that massacre. was a fabulous achievement that happened under our watch that is a ridiculous question and i guess our no no i literally miss i will make you happy if i am not going to respond to that kind of personal attack which is not a question now the civil war between the us backed factions and the marxist revolutionaries continued until one thousand nine hundred two and slaughter by us backed forces also continue the death toll was as high as seventy thousand people but ronald reagan did not consider that to be a deal breaker the people bill salvador had another free election in march economic reforms are continuing and communist guerrillas are losing ground and none of this would have been possible without the economic assistance and military training and

equipment that we provided so what have been the results is el salvador now a land of prosperity and freedom hardly in fact in twenty seventeen el salvador had the highest murder rate of any country in the world it is not currently at war those three years only decreased slightly in twenty eighteen now somebody might look at this and say well that was decades ago why bring it up now well the fact that abrams wants to repeat is democracy restoration project in venezuela is certainly alarming and when asked about this before the us congress he didn't deem it necessary to give an answer would you support an armed faction within venezuela that engages in war crimes crimes against humanity or genocide if you believe they were serving u.s. interest as you did in guatemala el salvador and nicaragua i'm not going to respond to that question i'm sorry. well on friday r.t. america correspondent dan cohen confronted abrams after

a conference in washington also came a few questions he didn't seem overly keen on three here's a video from don's twitter. what do you say to people were skeptical about you because of your history of using humanitarian aid to send weapons contras in central america. you had any comments about but there are a lot of people who are very skeptical. because it's a long and i'm doing my job you are to what you can walk so i would say it would you what do you have to say about that. u.s. special counsel robert mueller has claimed he's found new evidence in the russian collusion probe which may implicate raw just own a long time ally of donald trump the judge overseeing the case has issued a partial gagging order after stone became critical over an alleged lack of evidence stone has previously acknowledged having brief exchanges with alleged russian active duty for two point zero and wiki leaks which is referred to every

said to in monday's briefing as organization one stern insists the communications were innocuous twitter direct messages in innocuous to the direct messages which he has already disclosed. the indictment alleges that beginning in the proximately the summer of twenty sixteen the defendant claimed publicly and privately to have been in communication with the head of organisation one about future releases of information damaging to the us presidential campaign of hillary clinton. well just own was an informal consultant for donald trump's election campaign but he was charged with lying to congress obstructing justice and witness tampering stern denies any political commentator andre told as he's skeptical about the supposed evidence always remember the system allegation near the center of this is where the donald trump colluded directly with the russian government to try to undermine

democracy in america and time and time again there is really no evidence of that now look you know on the west i don't support the activities of the russian intelligence services who i think i'm proud to poll the quick vote it is not true to say that it's double trouble or any of his colleagues who have had very real evidence to the projects that they were in any way involved in the other thing the reason told will be election and the reason that the british voted for president is not because of luck to be uprooted because hillary clinton is terrible and says president of the european union those are the reasons why people voted the way they did the idea that vladimir putin said matter how corrupt and dangerous he thinks he is the idea that he can make the election change in america is nonsense where you can have your say on all of our stories by following us on social media and even your comments that we're back at the top of the hour with the latest to see that.
