manufacture consent to public will. when the remain close to some project himself. with the flaming. lips and be the one person. we can all middle of the room see. the. real. clash of the interior ganser the fourteenth weekend of the yellow vests protests as hundreds gather in paris against president looks on where a cross was happening in the french capital the other day. u.s. finds president mike pence calls on european allies to send brazil stairs and

personnel to syria as washington readies to pull out what russia's foreign minister is there is the idea will only exacerbate the syrian crisis. and moscow and damascus agree to open to humanitarian corridors for refugees stuck at a ted count in the u.s. controlled syrian territory. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me. there's been unrest at the latest yellow vests protests in paris where hundreds gathered for the fourteenth consecutive weekend of action against president the government's police used tear gas and some protesters have been detained as he reports.

you might just be able to see in the distance that we've got protesters who are throwing what appear to be rocks towards 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 towards the police forces as they coming the protesters here thousands of them we've got some me he's burning an e.u. flag right in front of us here many of these illusions don't like the european union either but those rocks now projectiles being thrown quite forcibly against the police and you can see now. being into wood surface with what looks like here yes pallets coming off and if i know them you 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 for an up and you can see the tear gas now all across the floor hey just in front of the lead in this center of power that casts all run just in fact take all or look around in circling where we are the idea to move these protesters away some of them have been saying the police are getting closer and closer to them some of the protesters they calling. 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 you can barely see down to would only lead as that smoke just envelops this. gas already coming in already.

so we've just got to try and move away from it because it really just pick out your throat through your eyes. you see people coughing. as a result of that to go. through all. of. the work. 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 pup's be the last. saturday protest of the shalit jones but the ones i've spoken to say that's not the case many unhappy about the thousands of people who've been arrested and this was all just this protest movement we've had about eighteen hundred people who've gone through the court system so far including a couple of high profile cases including by the books and just earlier in the week

and every queuing is one of the so-called leaders over the movement 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 and has actually been deployed during that huge plume of gas that we saw that just in the last few minutes now the government has offered this relations many concessions including a rise in the simic which is the minimum wage and saying that those who would believe it's fine will have been this issue facing the country since attacks there's also this big debate going on but one of the things the government has done to really anger many people out in the streets particularly this year asians is this notion at the moment that's going through that would make it illegal to come to a protest like this and to come to your face with some people if they were called to not be able to face a. prison or

a fine of several thousand. pounds so that's really. it 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.e. paris. a spokesperson for the free yellow vests group says the protests are now gathering force outside the big cities to let. on that it the french countryside is mobilizing again we understand that being in big cities means we sometimes have to let these bullies release their poison will be heard these anti republicans will be protest on toll roads roundabouts and junctions blocking major economic centers in and around cities but we have to ensure their freedom to do this they're all denies demonstrations in city centers that moms with druggies will come and it's hard to imagine christoph cashed in are using traumatic weapons against mothers with four year old children in any case we hope not is it. a 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 police troops out of the country u.s. vice president mike pence floated the idea the europeans thought or should replace them in the middle east artie's peace all of it is across the story. the u.s. vice president's comments appeared to be a response to concerns that were voiced earlier on today by chancellor angela merkel that a u.s. withdrawal of troops from syria could lead to being a destabilizing factor in the region is the stanwood is it a good idea of the americans to pull out of sea remediate lee and so swiftly doesn't it make the possibility of iran and russia increasing their influence that it would appear that washington wants its european allies to take a more so on the ground approach to syria when the us troops pull out of the north of the country to hammer this point home the u.s. side pointed out the terror attacks that have taken place in europe in recent years

were a sign that europe needs to be more involved on the ground in syria twenty fifty one hundred thirty people killed in paris twenty sixteen eighty six killed a nice twelve killed and christmas truck bombing in berlin and twenty seventeen thirteen killed in spain so does it matter what happens over there hell yeah it matters it's hard to see that being palatable to anger at all in fact most european nations especially germany have been unwilling to send troops to syria also even to engage militarily at all we heard also on the subject from study of the russian foreign minister he chipped in with his opinion of what mike pence that had to say as regards other plans by countries that are in syria illegitimately especially plans to get even more legitimate players dear i don't think this would be helpful

for syria in all its forms of being discussed throughout this munich security conference so far at a session said again for all of was taken questions from journalists and he bristled when he was asked about alleged atrocities committed by the syrian government a 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 north stream to gas pipeline project is also being up for discussion here in munich in fact chancellor angela merkel devoted a large chunk of her address to the conference to that particular subject she said

she remained fully committed to the project also you said that she wasn't prepared to risk her country's relationship with russia over potentially scaling down or pulling out of north stream well one country that particularly wants to see north stream fail is the united states washington hates it because one of the reasons is anyway they want to sell their own liquefied natural gas to the european markets the problem is it's much more expensive than gas that is piped directly from russia into europe or mike pence the us vice president also had something to say on this he said that those countries that oppose north stream to a friends of the us 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 why it's the flag of the i think you know one of wants to be unilaterally dependent and russia does want to receive russian gas not only in the d.d.r. where i live with the us and 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 relays whatever the u.s. vice president thinks north stream two is said to see the gas flowing later this year when it's fully operational will transfer fifty five billion cubic meters of natural gas every year from. russia under the baltic sea and directly into germany . russia analyst martin mccauley told us patchy u.s. relations with germany could seek a industries targeted so that washington gets its way. relations with in germany. are not being particularly good and you remember that when trump came into power america read him a lecture almost like a church servant about how to behave now because he didn't like it from those days and she and he have not seen eye to eye and he would like to be able to impose sanctions on those countries and some of the most german they've been to hell which

will border the americans also have a weapon oh well 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 what weapons in their own memory. from the diplomatic discussions to what's happening in syria itself russia reach an agreement with damascus so i printed humanitarian corridor was on the country's border with jordan let me put allow people trapped at this polling rock band refugee camp to leave the area we got an update earlier from a journalist in damascus. main deal now is to make to establish a military and corridor beginning from tuesday to let people refugees to use discouraged or to move to the areas which they are under the control of the syrian government of course those people according to the statement of the

agreement could get the needed the room and the tarion aid 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 get or they can't arrive any aid to the. camp which suffers of severe how many tarion crisis this crisis is not regarded only short of food drinking water many reports they are talking about sexual exploitation 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. a number of children living in conflict zones has doubled since the end of the cold war and a report by the charity save the children stays one in every spine of youngsters around the world still lives. mary is affected by armed conflict. and your credit card the fact. that a while one mother had up. the order to get.

the hobby. they didn't tell you they had the hoodie. better to really have no idea what they did. but i think the damage. a lot of them and it is that. i have been a good lover and. concern us us out of for me ask. does.

not break every enemy and tell me if you need any. or all of your view. the hurt. some four hundred twenty million children live in conflict zones and lisa thousand die as a result every year since two thousand and ten the number of recorded cases of rise file ations 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 children young children 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

rip the humanitarian disaster that is killing tens and tens of thousands of defenseless children to the death of children the destruction of hospital and all that is a massacre which needs to be condemned. our reports say 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 not any doubt 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 while 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 really disturbing trend where more and more children are being caught up in conflicts in the international systems and here 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 wasn't sure that when people d. perpetrate crimes against children held to account what we're really calling for today is for the u.k. government protection of civilians in conflict strategy for us to be a government needs to ensure the curator of the heart of all of that defense diplomacy and eight and that they need to use i see some of the most powerful tables in the well of the u.n. nato to ensure that other countries policy. the report identifies afghanistan the 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 this children certainly can't be held accountable for their governments whether it's military war 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 race 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 start killing starving children. where it's between sanctions on 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 why back g.s.c.

global financial crisis part two it's underway it's all it's all white multi trillions of dollars gone and the heart beat looking like townsfolk korea right here on planet. crazy. the job of journalists photo journalists any type of videographers writing journalists is their job it's much more dangerous every year because so many people now see what we do is threat you know threats to whatever their narrative is whatever the propaganda is and you know that like anything. in our culture the iraq and afghanistan wars had to be sold to the american people in.

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 top officials with a fresh wave of sanctions the united states sought to justify the move by repeating his 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 emergency aid to venezuela and then shows like food and medicine have already been delivered to the colombian border but nicholas material is refusing to allow the supplies to cross into his country he says it's a cynical ploy by the trumpet ministration london attempts to justify a possible military intervention if it has waited president also hits out of the colombian government which he accuses of flagrant aggression. but after mr 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 kate 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 . well president maduro was also opening a diplomatic channel by inviting elliot abrams for talks but has caleb maupin explains the united states is special envoy for venezuela's reco didn't south america is the very promising. elliott 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 that president war two he was elected in a free election to this day of 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 of i guess are no no no i literally miss i will make 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 nine hundred ninety 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 figures 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. u.s. special counsel robert mueller has claimed he's found new evidence in the russian collusion probe which may implicate law to stone a longtime ally of donald trump the judge overseeing the case is issued a partial guiding order to stone be. critical over an alleged lack of evidence stone has previously acknowledged having greece exchanges with alleged russian hacker gucci for two point zero and wiki leaks which is referred to in miller's

briefing as organization one stone insists the communications were innocuous twitted 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 turn was an informal consultant for donald trump's election campaign but he was charged with lying to congress obstructing justice and witness tampering stone denies any guilt political commentator andre walker told us he's skeptical about the supposed evidence. always remember the system stansell 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 the reason really no evidence of that look you know on the west now i don't support the activities of the russian intelligence services who i think comprise the polling like bolt it is not true to say that donald trump or any of his colleagues have had any real evidence to the pickets them that they were in any way involved in anything the reason don't trust what the election and the reason that the princess voted for president is not because of lack of me thinks it is because hillary clinton's terrible and says president of the european union those are the reasons why people voted the way they think the idea of the flood to mayfield said no matter how corrupt and dangerous he thinks he is the idea that he can make the election change in america is nonsense we'll be back to update you on the latest the top of the hour. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going

to do next the book about different clubs on one hand it is logical to set off on fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing us all one i'll give you. i'm going to talk about football not the or else if you think i was going to the. by the way ways of the slide here. you know world's big partners the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made. stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching

closely watching the hawks. down after announcing we're going on the ground as drazen may today sends a u.k. defense secretary to the munich security conference attended by top beijing officials after he announced the deployment of britain's biggest warship to the south china sea coming up in the show as nigerians go to the polls today we ask the country's former culture minister who should lead the biggest oil producing nation in africa and what will be the point of u.k. stealth bombers and swarms of drones to combat china and russia oriental eyes new york on nato attacks on asia with former u.s. special forces advisor. plus cheryl i also have reason to celebrate food some

of the finest ingredients of a little from the no need to worry about post food supplies after an important trade deal signed with the north atlantic archipelago of the faroe islands goal is a ball coming up in today's going on the ground but first while nato nation politicians troll the corridors of today's munich conference how as one major nation leader attempted to begin roads into africa's biggest oil producing nation we begin here in nigeria where the british prime minister the reason may as arrived in nigeria as part of a trade missions with africa after breakfast the u.k. actually has a long tradition of interference in nigeria which elects a new leader today the u.k. was involved in the biafra war that killed up to two million people and then there is that oil company with close relations to the british government. deep ties between shall and the nigerian state began.
