haiti is gripped by civil unrest with thousands of protesters flooding the streets of the caribbean nation's capital recording on the president to step down over claims of corruption and economic mismanagement. forty eight hiv positive children are expelled from a school in indonesia at the insistence of outraged parents we speak to some of those who were no. such luck good. luck. with the top stories from the past seven days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on the aussie international hello and welcome. you know first demonstrate. asians are again taking over the streets of

paris this sunday against what people are calling for living standards this weekend marks three months since their protest campaign began with saturday's seeing over forty thousands turned out nationwide to vent their anger at the president and mine your policies. then they make moves. commissions between activists and police broke out in a number of cities including nanda and lee on the protests in paris those are descendants of violence by late afternoon well it depends he was there throughout the day force. her to. be sure the protesters are throwing items towards peace will really get i have to move a little bit further on because i guess it is never. coming across us and it's really not very nice very difficult to talk so he said

when the gas hits you but it just comes out like cleans and it's one of the methods that they used to trying to spurs to protest as these protests now have been going on for three months they have been incredibly violent at times we have seen the police also using a huge amount of force against these protesters who are because somebody had been moved injured not clear what that person's injuries all put receiving medical attention now as a result of that and that is just one of the thousands of injuries to see not just from the protest is right but also the police themselves. as you can see they are the anger is creeping up here quite dramatically on the streets of paris processors that now are pushing over one of those pins that you normally i close a lot of them picking up those portable assumingly with the aim of throwing it they

go to warrants the police he see that tear gas now coming down to room just by the police coming in and taking over i'm just looking right now trying to apprehend some of those individuals who may have the. throwing those across portals like glass bottles now coming in the direction where we are. 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 other. thing into wood surface with what looks like here yes pellets coming off by that gas already coming in already. so we just got to try and move away from makes it really just pick out your throat or your eyes. you see people coughing. as a result of that to go. for what. is really pretty nasty when it gets in just right 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 ship jones but 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 during the protests on saturday a number of yellow vests were filmed hurling projectiles at a police firm. well you know there was a. video was posted online by a french police union to illustrate the challenges facing officers who were joined by a police representative to discuss their rallies and their violent elements. here. i have colleagues who work throughout the weekends 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 on the other hand we are public servants and have to be friendly even if you are tired you have to go on duty due to exhaustion we could easily make a mistake. as estimated at around three thousand people have been wounded since the best protests began somehow suffered life changing injuries earlier this week we spoke to fear. rainier linea he was hit in the head with a stun grenade in december she says she could lose sight in one eye his theory in a story it was his will clear as a policeman i called to work every saturday i understand that the time but fatigue is not an excuse for everything especially for leaving people without ice guns were on the road and i was on the left to explain to me why the policeman fired in my to berkshire 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 seans only easy it was common to see and they were very calm yellow vests around us into the world then some who haven't started vandalizing the shop on another side of the street as trying to set fire to it policeman started to shoot to help the life i just to get through and it was the last then that i remember because after that i fell and the grenade hit my hand my eyes still in great pain and will be removed in the next operation talked to said it can be seen it is painful to touch it i can't move it and i can't read. the haitian capital was also rocked by violence this week protesters in puerto princesa calling for an end to their country's rampant corruption and decrying the government's failure to tackle grinding poverty.

some of the protesters have but also been voicing their contempt for washington and his apparent backing of the current president a number of videos have emerged of demonstrators burning the american flag the u.s. national security advisor met with the haitian foreign minister on friday to discuss the riots john bolton expressed washington's enduring support for the caribbean nation and called the dialogue to resolve the crisis while the u.s. state department warned its citizens against traveling to haiti. similar anti-government protests continue to shake venezuela but while the u.s. was quick to therese wait behind the opposition that is taking a somewhat different approach with haiti and if a tranquil looks at the fine line that makes an elected leader not just in the us protests are turning deadly.

crowd wants to president to get the hell out of his office. the next day the bus driver they lowered his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election. but enough that i thought the nation is not just poor it's starving. rich people in the country are going to go. ahead with. the massive population that comes to the city like a bit of polling trivia from the poorest country in the caribbean the last presidential 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 in some cases that would be more than enough to set off what i call the legitimacy radar alarm and washington not this time trump sent 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 show what do you do with that kind of rapprochement show that you're a big fan of the man in charge there president trump and i own troops spend all an entrepreneur why. it's results and therefore i hope we'll put everything in place to make sure we deliver for our peoples but could such words of warmth ever end up turning into something like this how. venice. on a true. venice an interim government is not going to side with the haitian

people because they need the 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 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 mike pence not a word from pump a oh the secretary of state not a word from donald trump so visit 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 democracy. washington's push to overthrow the socialist government in caracas is being spearheaded by elliot abrams the new u.s. special envoy to venezuela his appointment has been criticized in part because of a dubious track record in latin america in the nineteen eighties he was involved in selling arms to iran and funneling the profits to anti-communist rebels waging

a brutal insurgency in nicaragua he was subsequently hounded to two convictions for misleading congress about the affair that in two thousand and two abrams was it accused of attempting to orchestrate a coup against hugo chavez in venezuela on wednesday in a session that was interrupted several times by antiwar activists faced intense questioning in front of the houses foreign affairs committee about his suitability for the role of special envoy would you support an armed faction within venezuela that engages in war crimes as you did in guatemala el salvador and nicaragua i am not going to respond to that kind of personal attack which is not a question you feel that your parents actions in iran contra are permanently impair your ability to fairly and transparently deal in the region my question is whether you're aware of any transfers of weapons or defense equipment by the united states

government to groups of venezuela i asked this question because you have a record of such actions ninety ninety one you pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information from congress regarding your involvement in the iran court affair i fail to understand why members of this committee or the american people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful i don't think this entire line of questioning is meant to be real questions and so i will not reply. one of the same time the u.s. is starting to send emergency aid to venezuela essentials like food and medicine have already been delivered to the colombian buddha but its president maturer has refused to allow it into his country claiming that it's a cover for the transit have weapons and could foreshadow a u.s. military intervention we heard from journalist max blumenthal who saves the

appointments of abrams points to aid being a possible cover up for a later invasion we have to consider that trumps are who is in charge of his venezuelan policy right now is elliott abrams who pioneered the strategy of using humanitarian aid as a disguise for delivering weapons to u.s. proxy forces first during the. wars and central america the proxy wars during which elliott abrams was overseeing several death squads and their genocidal humanitarian violations the venezuelan see this aid delivery especially in the in the light of abrams history of using aid as a cover for delivering arms to proxy forces as a violation of venezuelan sovereignty as an actual us invasion of venezuela and so in many ways this is seen as a trojan horse for us invasion about with most tories after this short break stay with us.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. somehow i want to. get it right to be close it's like the flag carrier the more people. interested in the lives of our.

welcome back well school in indonesia has box control to see off the expelling fourteen h.i.v. positive children it reportedly took the decision following complaints from the parents of their close mates we heard from some of the youngsters who were removed .

among parents strong. they objected to the fourteen children sent out and it's because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to proceed but following their protest we took the children out of the school and now we're helping to find a new school for them. when

they. took. us. well as their talks to the head of an ngo that helps indonesian children infected with hiv. and other for almost a week these children have been staying home and not going to school they're 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 should all have the right to go to school these children have faced so many obstacles since entering school after kindergarten it's become the norm but we will stay strong and i think there is no need to hide the location of the next school for these children if we are open it will be easier to explain to the public that their disease is in their body and will not easily spread to others.

violence against farmers in south. africa is on the rise new government figures show that the number of attacks the shot up by fifteen percent in the past two years the vast majority being black on white crime we spoke to a number of people who have been assaulted i think loosely told me even within the sunscreen you don't so much interest in the game to go to the field and insist that this is the life you know what it is it's like from the top and other scratch guy despommier on my neck and how to come to my age. not. because i went down the great god but he produced the stick. to my sister to be the new

first lady she will continue to be my income to the newsboy. revealed it does appear to be down to those you know the whole time they held a shotgun to my far edge the one that is called leader and you can't say you bench josh much and stacia. can feel the old. his bones ok let me. and recently published report has revealed that electric drills blow torches and bleach have been used as assault weapons against fall most of the seventy percent of south africa's farmland is owned by white people a legacy of colonialism on the part time and as a result the socialist government has pledged to redistribute the land which has led to fears of a mass seizure of white owned farms and the low res is believed to be playing a role in the spike of attacks on the increasing brutality some commentators say it's also a question of why does social problems there's a lot of law and order. the nature of their attacks is disproportionate we're not

among those claiming there is a wide genocide or crime of. it's humanity but it is a serious crisis and there are signs that it is only going to get wars we are on record as as dismissing the watch the white genocide narrative it if it does not exist spends that being said. you you do get into it into issues of what of what motivates these crimes and an argument could be made that in certain instances. the reckless rictus racial rhetoric they may be a contributing factor once again these awards expresses possibilities commercial farmers. tend to be disproportionately white although. you know i think it's it's it's very important you know and see you solutions you know to become trapped in that racial prison we are aware of instances where we're. back people being

attacked and also i think it must be pointed out that that part of the whole form for matecumbe form of phenomenon is the vulnerability of workers they pretend to be tend to be black and they've been instances where. black people are just that loves to protect. to protect what i watch people under attack and vice versa was the case . we followed increased. exhaustive private that's already spawned of a two year says fell to find any direct evidence of collusion between donald trump and russia during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential campaign the admission came from the senate intelligence committee's tell person. well i'm not sure how to make sure of and i've said it before we have no factual evidence of collusion between the campaign right and circle trump russia investigation has drawn valse attention from the media which expected to find a smoking gun but the walls feel like they're closing in on the trumpet

ministration right now and i'm not sure that they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls. the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it with trump on the walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast after two years two hundred witnesses and three hundred thousand documents if we were to report based upon the facts that we have that we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion between the trim campaign and russia democrats have now confirmed this to n.b.c. on conditions of anonymity send investigators have access to highly classified intelligence so for example if there was an intercept between some russian intelligence officers suggesting that they were conspiring with the truck campaign they would see that that has not emerged so that evidence does not exist and trump will claim vindication so donald trump has spoken up the it twitter. the senate

intelligence committee there is no evidence of collusion between the truth campaign and russia while the twitter sphere lit up because for two years n.b.c. has been pushing the trump russian narrative now they're saying the opposite. be seen use emmis n.b.c. have been telling us for two plus years that there is always evidence of collusion to the russians hacked their accounts. breaking news the nurse if we've been spin on endlessly for two years was based on zero evidence it seems that it wasn't lost on n.b.c. themselves who did everything and to walk back there are police but on the very same day we heard this on the very same channel senator byrd coming out and saying there was no direct evidence that kind of conspiracy that also really struck me because prosecutors almost never how direct it was to the intelligence committee came out and said they found no direct evidence of criminal conspiracy but that's not the senate intelligence committee is read it it is the f.b.i.

in a special counsel's team to do the criminal investigation so he doesn't have any evidence but he somehow just knows it's there mr trump's claims. in a book that whole question is the claims of a former cia director who previously called doubts on allegations of collusion he is not alone in speaking up and saying that what can't be proven somehow must unquestionably be true about the latest the top of the hour see that. simply. didn't have ten miles from the to the independent with the day to. day. what was the sort of my love and respect i let him get me or now

we have a hunk of. now at the. scene but because hell i don't know him but then i haven't. seen let him play maybe we have it already in the metro have one thing close i gave up because of me. he said no when i would. we're witnessing something quite remarkable in the night twenty nineteen we're watching a country testbed in the nineteenth century bubble really for cool almost two hundred years they're going to crash into the twenty first century as if they're just being teleported into the twenty first time.

the united states does that all the time it always tries to influence elections when people who are running who are friendly to the united states are running against people who are unfair and we certainly did that all through central america and south america for many many years we know that these efforts are made repeatedly there are not criminal every intelligence agency in the world she's a smart of its function to make sure that elections turn out favorably to the country. country has gone into a nihilistic theme that's why i think and we've got to hit the road and get out the traveling to the find what makes america the charlatans the genius of american hero who says if we point around which hollywood has gone insane we're starting

last with the myth is we're going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bee type of can leave now dumber getting more gonzo we may be completely different but the end of this. max there is here. maxwell my old relative used to be the biggest landowner in this area and of course became famous as the place for billy the kid was shot by pat garrett this is amazing that we're here probably touching my mom roots he was the largest ever private land holder in u.s. history. here it is billy the kid's tombstone. he was such an anti-hero they actually locked him up in prison even in death. but dr you know they escaped many times from prison and he escaped.
