8:02 pm
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 there to wards the police forces as they coming the protesters here thousands of them we've got some me who'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 the. thing into wood surface with what looks like here yes pellets coming off and if i know like to be grenades coming from the
8:03 pm
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 round us in fact take all or 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 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 well that gas already coming in already.
8:04 pm
so it's going to try and move away from it because it really just pick out your throat in your eyes. you see people coughing. well 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 this result of. this protest movement we've had about eighteen hundred people who have gone through the court system so far including
8:05 pm
a couple of high profile cases including by the book suggested 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 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 the relations many concessions including a rise in the simic which is the minimum wage and saying that those who over time will have been issued a 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 this year asians 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 do you not be able to face up to a year in prison or
8:06 pm
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 auti paris. it's polk's person for the free yellow vests group says the protests are now gathering force outside of the big cities as well. these are on a bit 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 mums with buggies will come and it's hard to imagine christophe cast in a using traumatic weapons against mothers with four year old children in any case
8:07 pm
we hope not he said. the topic of syria was one of the major discussion points during that day two of the munich security conference in light of america's decision to pull its troops out of the country u.s. vice president mike pence floated the idea of european soldiers should replace them in the middle east artie's bitter oliver has more. the u.s. vice president's comments appeared to be a response to concerns that were voiced earlier on sunday by chancellor angela merkel that a u.s. withdrawal of troops from syria could lead to being a destabilizing factor in the region is this then 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 there . it would appear that washington wants its european allies to take a more somber ground approach to syria when the us troops pull out of the north of
8:08 pm
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 in these twelve killed and christmas truck bombing in berwyn 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 angola merkel at all in fact most european nations and especially germany have been willing to send troops to syria also even to engage militarily at all we heard also on the subject from study for all of the russian foreign minister he chipped in with his opinion of what mike pence that had to say it was additional people on the regarding various plans being made by the countries on syrian territory illegitimately and especially the plans to get even
8:09 pm
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 number session said again was taking 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
8:10 pm
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 up that no one wants to be unilaterally dependent on
8:11 pm
russia but we received russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i lived but also in west germany during the cold war and they don't see why the times today should be so much worse that we can no longer see russia remains a partner whatever the us 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. geo political analyst and a consultant to raina roth for us says the u.s. now wants its allies to take responsibility for syria well i think that the united states trying to shift the burden. onto the shoulders of the european governments and their armies to pursue their globalist interests in syria. america first is the motto again the u.s. wants to save of course resources and the europeans shall make the chart
8:12 pm
but the question for me. to their europeans or should your really have an interest in supporting those goals that the united states had curse europe since twenty eleven in syria from the diplomatic discussions to what is happening in syria itself russia has reached an agreement with damascus to open to humanitarian corridors on the country's border with jordan the move will allow people trapped at the sprawling rukh refugee camp to leave the area we got an update earlier from a journalist in damascus. but the 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
8:13 pm
agreement could get the needed the room entirely and aides 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 the militias which are which are backed by us all do all you are giving all needed military aid to those fighters they can't give or they can't arrive any aid to the a rock band camp which suffers of severe how many tarion crisis this crisis is not regarded only short of food or drinking water or 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 are
8:14 pm
stablish ing in syria they were succeeded and they gave good results iraq plan 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 they are backed by us. the number of children living in conflict zones is twice as big as it was during the cold war an international charity says more details on that after a short break or two international. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to
8:15 pm
dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. when we all make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. can all middle of the room see. the real news.
8:16 pm
welcome back this is our t. international so the number of 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 child in every five around the world now lives in areas affected by armed conflict . the fact. that i was i won my lot of head up. don't want to get. rowdy in. battle really have no idea what they did.
8:17 pm
but i get it done much. money and it's just that. it's not as if i have any good love. us us out of. this. gravy and me show me a feel. for. the heart of the heart.
8:18 pm
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 or 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
8:19 pm
a massacre which needs to be condemned. our report today shows that right now almost one in five children on the planet are 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 while i was 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 in the international system to ensure 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 perpetrate crimes against children held to account what we're really calling for today is for the u.k.
8:20 pm
government protection of civilians in conflict strategy for us to the u.k. government needs to ensure the curator of the heart of all of the defense diplomacy and aid and that they need to use their seat at some of the most powerful tables in the well of the u.n. 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 a peace activist kathy kelly told us the international community needs to do more to safeguard young people this children certainly can't be held accountable for their governments whether it's military were 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 their brain sort of the child should certainly be held countries could work together. much more
8:21 pm
effectively and so we have to take responsibility ourselves and then encourage other people to do like ways they must do everything they can to start this war and to stop killing starving children. thousands of people gathered in barcelona to protest against the ongoing trial of a group of cattle on the separatists police said there were two hundred thousand people taking part but according to organizers the number reached actually about five hundred thousand. people carried flags and banners calling on political prisoners to be freed they also held up placards bearing photos of the imprisoned separatist leaders the trial of twelve cattle on activists started on tuesday in madrid supreme court they're being tried over the roles that they played in catalonia failed bid to break away from spain in
