3:02 pm
you might just be able to see in the distance that we've got protesters who are throwing what appeared 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 who's burning in the 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 the. thing into woods just with what looks like
3:03 pm
here is pallets going off and if i know them you know 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 canisters being distributed in the air fern up and you can see the tear gas now all across the floor hit just in front of the lead in the center of paris 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
3:04 pm
this. gas already coming in already. that. so we just got to try and move away from it because it really just pick out your throat in your eyes. you see people coughing. as a result of that to go. through all. of. your pizza is really pretty nasty when it gets into your 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 chalet 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 this was all to. this protest movement we've had about eighteen hundred people
3:05 pm
who've gone through the court system so far including a couple of high profile cases including by the book suggested earlier in the week and every queuing is one of the same calls. over the movement so we just bring you back to where the 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 to which mine will have been this issue appreciation contributions or tax 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 motion at the moment that's going through that would make it illegal to come to
3:06 pm
a protest like this and to come to your face with some people if they were called do not be able to face up to you. in. prison all fine of several thousand pounds so that's really and get this really shows and we'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 a spokesperson for the free yellow vests group say is the protest song are gathering force outside of the big cities to. that's possible maybe these are on a bit of 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 protests 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
3:07 pm
mums with druggies will come and it's hard to imagine christoph cashed in a 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 in light of america's decisions upon its troops out of the country u.s. vice president mike pence floated the idea that european soldiers should replace them in the middle east peace all of a is across the story. the u.s. vice president's comments appeared to be a response to concerns that were voiced earlier 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
3:08 pm
a more somber ground approach to syria when the u.s. 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 fifth. one hundred thirty people killed in paris twenty sixteen eighty six killed in these twelve killed and christmas truck bombing of berwyn twenty seventeen thirteen killed in spain so does it matter. what happens over there yet matters it's hard to see that being palatable to angola merkel at all in fact most european nations especially germany have been willing to say true in syria also even if we gave militarily after all we heard also on this subject from study the russian foreign minister he chipped in with his opinion of what mike pence that had to say
3:09 pm
was additional people on the regarding various plans being made by the countries on syrian territory illegitimately world and especially the plans to get even more illegitimate players involved i think these are counterproductive for syria in all its forms of being discussed throughout this munich security conference so far at a session said again was taking questions from journalists and he 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. your real rights what you want so do it. away from syria the north stream to gas pipeline project is also being up for
3:10 pm
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 remains 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. to the european markets the problem is it's much more expensive than gas that is played 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 two. and we commend others to do the same.
3:11 pm
that's a is the flag of the up there is 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 a partner whatever the u.s. vice president thinks north stream too is said to see the gas flowing later this year and when it's fully operational will transfer fifty five billion cubic meters of natural gas every year from russia under the baltic sea directly into germany. and a different amount of discussion so what's happening in syria itself and russia has reached an agreement with damascus to weapon to humanitarian corridor was on the country's border with jordan the move would allow people trapped at the sprawling rock band refugee camp to leave the area got an update earlier from a journalist in damascus. main deal now is to make to
3:12 pm
establish a corridor beginning from tuesday to let people agree to do is to use discouraged or to move to the area which they are the control of the syrian government of course those people according to the statement of the agreement could get the needed to do in the area and 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. munitions which are which are backed by us all do all us giving all needed military aid to those fighters they can't or they can't arrive any aid to the. camp which saw force of cv them in the caribbean crisis of this crisis not regarded
3:13 pm
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 camp is fully controlled of militias that are backed by u.s. . we're staying with syria now we can cross live to our guest today a little deeper into these latest details reign of all first year political analyst on consultant thank you for joining us on the program as we just heard the u.s. troops are getting ready to leave syria and mike pence is advising his european
3:14 pm
allies to send their own troops and what do you think he wants to them to do that for if they say i still is being defeated well i think the united states are trying to shift the burden. on to the shoulders of the european governments and their armies to pursue their globalist interests in syria and america first is the motto again the u.s. wants to save of course resources and the europeans shall make the charge but the question for me do a little europeans or should the europeans really have an interest in supporting those goals that the united states had of course you would since twenty eleven in syria i'm going to merkel has previously said that the u.s. pullout could really does the stabilizer the region do you think that mike pence is
3:15 pm
invitation to put european troops on the syrian ground. came as a shock to her. well what does said here is total nonsense because syria has been destabilized since twenty eleven and well before already it was the plan of the united states to topple that government in syria we know that from inside sources from the us government like wesley clark for example and now they're just evolution. is the situation which led to the migration crisis in twenty fifteen which. yeah contributor to the destabilization at least long terms spoken of europe and so now we should have an interest in withdrawing our troops nato troops not only the us troops but also the other. troops and militias supported by the west to wreak stabber lies in syria and
3:16 pm
this can only be. realized through acknowledging that there is a legal government in syria which would like it or not it's official representatives to syrian people the united nations also and we should start collaborating with that government to step in here and to create an opportunity also for. my ration for the refugees which have come to europe in the past two or three years i coming back to mike pence is the performance if you like at the munich security conference see it it seems like he really had an axe to grind had a lot of strong points that he wants to express joining this two day conference including lashing out to the e.u. undermining u.s. sanctions on iran and and nato allies that buying weapons from adverse stories hinting at the latest take a russia deal what is the line between giving advice enters ordering partners
3:17 pm
people. of course the united states tries to see europe harkness. but we should understand at last that there is a difference between the interests of. hedge a man who tries to use nato to support its position in the world and the interests of the european peoples and it would be much more important for european countries to strengthen their little alliance with russia which has made it clear in the past it is a gamble that syria should stay as a complete country it should not be dismantled and threat meant to and for us this
3:18 pm
would be a real opportunity to see a good chance for really my radiation off the refugees who have come here since twenty fifteen into that region and that should be our utmost to interest we're not looking only at pipeline project. dr reiner authoress to political analyst and consultant thank you for joining us this morning. thank you that's plenty more still to come this hour including a wedge between sanctions that he went to terry in a presser with the latest on his way to civil crisis and that's more after the pike . the job of journalists photojournalists any type of the videographers writing journalists is their job it's much more dangerous every year because so many people
3:19 pm
now see what we do is threats you know threats to whatever their narrative is whatever the propaganda is and you know they like anything in our culture and the iraq and afghanistan wars had to be sold to the american people and . you know world of big partisan. 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 smart 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 truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
3:20 pm
welcome back washington is continuing to ramp up the pressure on the venezuelan government on friday it hit the crisis stricken country's state owned oil company five of nicholas mature 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 merchant sea aids to venezuela essential is like food and medicine have already been to. livered to the colombian order that nicolas maduro is refusing to allow the supplies to cross into his country he says it's a cynical ploy by the trumpet ministration and an attempt to justify a possible military intervention the venezuelan president also hit out at the colombian government which he accuses of flagrant question. for court or policy for colombia is peace and respect i cannot say the same about
3:21 pm
the government of the colombian president even dukie who has war plans against venezuela supported by the us empire i am not exaggerating donald trump and even in the white house announced war plans using colombia against venezuela president maduro was also opening a diplomatic channel by inviting elliot abrams for talks but as caleb locally explains the united states is special envoy for venezuela's record in south america isn't very promising. elliot abrams the trump administration's 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 o'sullivan who has been a democracy that's a fabulous achievement yes the pro-u.s. candidate duarte won the elections but how democratic was the situation there were
3:22 pm
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 if things 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 means i will make i am not going to respond to that kind of personal attack which is not a question but now the civil war between the us backed factions and the marxist
3:23 pm
revolutionaries continued until nine hundred ninety two and slaughter by u.s. 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 of ill 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
3:24 pm
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 miller has claimed he's found new evidence in the russian collusion probe which may implicate want to stone a longtime ally of donald trump the judge overseeing the case has issued a partial gagging order to stone became chris. ical over the alleged lack of evidence stone has previously acknowledged having brief exchanges with alleged russian had to go to two point zero and wiki leaks which is referred to in miller's briefing goes all the way ization one stone insists the communications were
3:25 pm
innocuous twitted direct messages which 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 organization one about future releases of information damaging to the us presidential campaign of hillary clinton while just stone was an informal consultant for donald trump the election campaign but he was charged with lying to congress obstructing justice and witness tampering stone denies any guilt political commentator andrea walker told us he's skeptical about the supposed evidence. always remember the system stumptail allegation near the center of this is where the donald trump colluded directly with the bush government to try to buy democracy in america 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 compared to paul the great fault it is not true to say such
3:26 pm
double trouble or any of his colleagues would have had very real evidence to the projects them that they would anyway involved everything the reason don't trust what the election and the reason that the british voted for president is not because of like me thinks it is because hillary clinton is terrible and says president of the european union those are the reasons why people voted the way they feared the idea that vladimir putin matter how critics and dangerous he thinks he is the idea that he can make the election change in america is nonsense. violence has broken out in southeastern europe during an anti government riots now mania crowds even trying to break into the prime minister's office using metal rugs and projectiles. police used tear gas to disperse them protesters have been accusing the cabinet of corruption and have demanded the government step aside for early elections
3:27 pm
