12:05 am
throat to your eyes. you see people coughing. that's 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 in this result of this protest movement we've had about eighteen hundred people who have 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 so-called medias over the movement so we just bring
12:06 am
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 plant of tear gas that we saw there just in the last few minutes now the government has offered this relations many concessions including a rise in the simic which is the main. i'm wage i'm saying that those who over time have been issued a social contributions or tax there's also this big debate going on but one of 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 a protest like this and to cover your face with some people if they were caught doing not able to face up to you. in prison or a fine of several thousand pounds so that's really an get that. they just said to
12:07 am
me that this is a movement that's been going on now for three months and they have absolutely no intention of finishing it so that you can ski r.t.e. paris while a snapshot of what's been happening on the streets there during the protests there number of universe were filmed hurling projectiles at a police. well you know there was a. video was posted by the french police union on to it it will destroy the challenges that the officers of facing able to deal with this we're joined by a member of the organization to discuss the violence at the protest. i have colleagues who work throughout the weekends who during the week have to perform extra duty the police are exhausted and can't take it anymore because the working conditions are inhuman on the one hand we have to be in place to guarantee the security of the rallies and on the other hand we are public servants and have to be
12:08 am
friendly with him and even if you are tired you have to go on duty that due to exhaustion we could easily make a mistake. it's estimated around three thousand people have been injured since the goal of us protests began some of the first life changing injuries in this week we spoke to a few ritalin yet she was hit in the head with a stun grenade back in december she says she might lose the eyesight inner i know is a bit of her story. it was this all clear as a policeman i called to work every saturday i understand that they're tired but fatigue is not an excuse for everything especially for leavin people without ice hooligans were on the road and i was on the left to explain to me why the policeman fired in my to braxton it is not normal france is one of the oldest democratic countries in the world it is not normal that this is happening here we were on the shans elisei it was comment first and there were very calm yellow vests around us then some hooligan started vandalizing the shop on another side of the street
12:09 am
trying to set fire to it policeman started to shoot to help firefighters to get through and it was the last one that i remember because after that i fell and the grenade hit my head my eyes still in great pain and will be removed in the next operation talked to said it can be saying it is painful to touch it i can't move it and i can't read. also we just go on the haitian capital was rocked by a week of violence and looting protest as important process demanding the president step down over the country's bleak economic situation right now and claims of corruption nine people have been killed dozens injured in the unrest. seventy government protests have been continued to shake venezuela in the wee while
12:10 am
the u.s. is quick to throw its weight on the opposition there is taking a somewhat different approach to haiti trying to unravel a new patrician can make a corresponding. protest start turning deadly. crowd once the president to get the hell out of his office. they loathe his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election . but enough that i want to the nation is not just poor it's starving. rich people want to. go. to mexico. to be like a bit of polling from the poorest country in the caribbean the last presidential
12:11 am
election had to be rerun after claims of fraud but the follow up which put president more ease and power wasn't exactly a model of democracy the turnout was only a fifth every tenth ballot sheet was never counted for different reasons and some cases that would be more than enough to set off what i call the legitimacy radar alarm and washington not this time trump said his people to congratulate the new leader his diplomat said they were proud of haiti. the haitian people deserve to have democratically elected leaders today's inauguration of a democratically elected president and allows haiti to return to democratic and constitutional rule so what do you do with that kind of rapprochement show that you're a big fan of the man in charge their president trump an iowa intrapreneur has been told an entrepreneur ones its results and therefore i hope will put everything in place to make sure we deliver for our peoples but could such words of warmth ever
12:12 am
end up turning into something like this how. venice. on a true. venice and the drum government is not going to side with the haitian people because they need that haitian government for its project of overthrowing the venezuelan government so back to news from haiti several days of protests put the capital on the brink of chaos a furious haitians are on the edge a group of you when powers including america came up with the communique i.e. condemnation of the escalating violence they want the president to speed up reforms well the only thing that came out of the state department in four days was this travel security alert haiti security alert the security situation remains very unstable if you hear gunfire or protest groups seek shelter inside your house
12:13 am
immediately and stay away from the windows and no one's yet picking a substitute for the elected leader but of course this relative silence isn't simply about someone saying nice things about donald trump this is the nature of what we can say american power in the world today it is filled with hypocrisy in haiti it is the vast majority of the population which is turning out to demand a job no mo uses a departure and yet not a word from my parents not a word from pump aoe the search. area of state not a word from donald trump so this double standard this hypocrisy is typical we can say u.s. foreign policy and venezuela neighbors on the map but it looks like they're nowhere near each other in the minds of those gurus of real dicey authentic spell fourteen children with hiv aids it reportedly took a decision for an complaints from the parents of the classmates we heard from some
12:14 am
of those youngsters who were kicked. parents strongly objected to the fourteen children to town and it's because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to. but follow in their protests that we took the children out of the school that now we're helping to find a new school for them. if. that's .
12:15 am
what. it's all about. that's. we also talked to the head of an ngo that helps unease in children affected with hiv. and i felt for almost a week these children have been staying home and not going to school they are very upset about it and really want to play with other kids again big keep asking me when they'll be allowed to go back i think children should be treated equally they
12:16 am
should all have the right to go to school these children have faced so many obstacles since then. during school after kindergarten it's become the norm but we will stay strong i think there is no need to hide the location of the next school for these children if we are all going it will be easier to explain to the public that their disease is in their body and will not easily spread to others. elsewhere recently leaked documents reportedly revealed the day u.k. based campaign group was asked to be offered to launch a devastating p.r. campaign and spread negative news about the gulf kingdom in return for a hefty fee the group headed by a problem and political strategist former british prime minister david cameron successful election campaign by the way let's hear it geoff skis got the story. it's almost a tradition now that every time a major football tournament is to take place scaremongering about the host country gets into will become the first middle eastern state to host the world cup and everyone's got something to say there are even whole books written about it qatar
12:17 am
has won its right through foul means the tiny middle east country of qatar may have won the right to host it due to a secret campaign to sabotage rival beard's sunday times newspaper is alleging that those involved in katter's world cup bid team ran a kind of secret black ops campaign designed to sabotage its main rivals bits this time however it may have gone beyond just bad headlines newly documents seen only by the guardian newspaper and the spin watch comparing groups suggest that a famous political strategist company c.d.f. partners was speech to a contract to make sure qatar's dream of welcoming the world's best footballers collapsed how by spreading negative stories about qatar in the mainstream media associating dollar with terrorism running fake grassroots campaigns and social media and lobbying friendly politicians journalists and academics we have
12:18 am
a chance to talk to professor david miller from the spin watch group so initially this is the other techniques of the p.r. world isn't this deception as many puting social media trying to propose the problem with the qatari government as it is supports terrorism and extremists in the muslim world now of course this is a set of techniques which they've used before to try and suggest that the country should isolate which are based on nothing very much the c.t.f. partners company both a major success in political campaigning it led the u.k.'s conservative party to an unexpected general election victory in twenty fifteen it's found they he is sir lynton crosby was awarded knighthood from the. then prime minister david cameron so there is little difficult to put direct pressure on sci fi to reverse its decision about holding the twenty twenty two world cup in qatar here's a quote from the leaked documents we would identify all potential allies in the
12:19 am
media politics industry academia and government should reach out to them going a deliberate attempt to inform and motivate them about the need to reconsider cattles hosting of the world cup in twenty twenty two builds a name project ball detailing the concrete plans to fulfill it but even putting a price tag on it three hundred thousand pounds a month with the overall price for the contract exceeding five million however in a statement to the guardian it denied and tearing into that contract it is legitimate for one party to use the services of people or entities or clients to put important information into the public domain and in fact two men are the big question is who position. who is based in london and has a history of organizing events against the ruling powers of three hundred thousand a month for a p.r. contract for this client to. clear
12:20 am
a boy want to be qatari prince who lives in london. we have reached out to hollywood all hail for comment but we haven't heard from him yet according to the lawyers for cross protect never took up the contract so that's what we're led to believe is the case so it's not entirely clear whether the coroner. involved the court so we're still unsure but there is no direct evidence that such a legit attempts to hire political strategists to discredit host countries of a major tournament have existed before but ask yourself would you be surprised if it ever surfaces considering that every time the world is about to enjoy a feast of football. all the media and politicians are having a field day. reporting from moscow i could tell you we contacted city of partners about the matter but their response failed to address their claims further we asked
