saturday seeing over forty thousand turned out nationwide to vent anger over president emanuel crohn's policies. very big move. skirmishes between activists and police broke out to number of cities including long time leon the protests in paris also descending it descended to violence by late afternoon defense cables that throughout the day for. her rule. we saw the protesters are throwing items towards peace we really could have to move a little bit further on because i guess it is now. coming across us and it's really not very nice very difficult to talk sorry sir 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 huge amounts of force against these protesters who are because somebody had being 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 portals assumingly with the aim of throwing it they go to war it's the police he see that tear gas now coming down to one just by the

police coming in and taking over i'm just looking right now trying to apprehend some of those individuals who may. throwing those across bottles 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. 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 as they come in 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 other. thing into would surface with looks like here this pallets going off by that gas already coming in already. so we've got to try and move away from it really just pick out your throat in your eyes. you see people coughing. that's a result of that to go. or what. is really pretty nasty when it gets into your throat 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 insurance but 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 during the protests on saturday a number of yellow vests were filmed hurling projectiles as a police van. well you know there was a. video was posted online by a french police union to me illustrate the challenges facing officers who were joined by a police representative to discuss the rallies on their violent. 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. it's estimated that around three thousand people have been wounded since the other best protests began some of suffered life changing injuries earlier this week we spoke to fearing a linea who was hit in the head with a stun grenade in december she says she could lose the sight in one eye his fear in his story. it was his will clear as a former policeman i called to work every saturday i understand that the titans but fatigue is not an excuse for everything especially for leavin people without ice cold guns were on the road and i was on the left to explain to me why the policeman fired in my to breakfast 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 the other side of the street as trying to set fire to it policeman started to shoot the whole life i just to get through and it was the last then that i remember because after that i fell and a grenade hit my head 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 province are calling for an end to their country's rampant corruption and declining the government's failure to tackle grinding poverty.

some of the protesters have also been voicing their contempt for washington and as a parent back in with the current president and number of videos of the murders of demonstrators burning the american flag. as national security adviser met with the haitian foreign minister on friday to discuss the riots sort of also expressed washington's enduring support for the caribbean nation and calls for dialogue to resolve the crisis while the u.s. state department warned its citizens against traveling to haiti. or similar antigovernment protests continue to shake venezuela and while the u.s. was quick to throw its weight behind the opposition that is taking a somewhat different approach with haiti it looks at the fine line there makes an elected leader not just of us. protests are turning deadly. in crowd once the president to get the hell out of his office. under. the bus

driver they load 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. going through. everything and yet the massive population that you. can use to be 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 maureen's in 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 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 that is 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 spent old and entrepreneur ones is results and therefore i hope to put everything in place to make sure we deliver from peoples but could such words of warmth ever end up turning into something like this how. asks. donna true. venice and the trump government is not going to side with the haitian people because they believe 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 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 movie uses a departure and yet not a word from my parents not a word from pump aoe the secretary of state not a word from donald trump so business double standard this hypocrisy is typical you 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 that as well is a point then times being criticized in pots because of a devious track record in latin america. in the one nine hundred eighty s. he was involved in selling arms to iran and funneling the profits to and to communist rebels waging a brutal insurgency in nicaragua he was subsequently handed to convictions for misleading congress about the affair but in two thousand and two abrams was accused

of attempting to walk a straight a coup against hugo chavez in venezuela. on wednesday in a session that was interrupted several times by antiwar activists paper has faced intense questioning in front of the house and foreign affairs committee about his suitability for the role of special envoy would you support an armed faction within venezuela that engages in work rhymes 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 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 ask this question because you have

a record of such actions nine hundred ninety one you pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information from congress regarding your involvement in the iran courtroom 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. at the same time the u.s. is starting to send emergency aid to venezuela essential is like food and medicine have already been delivered to the colombian buddha but it's president madeira who has refused to allow it into his country claiming that it's a cover for the transit of weapons and could foreshadow a u.s. military intervention we heard from journalist max blumenthal who say as the appointments of abrams points to aid being a possible cover up for and they say for 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 u.s. invasion well let's come this hour taking on trump over his twitter pictures we have from an iranian photographer who isn't happy with the u.s. president using her property on line. after the break.

you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to big people to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and 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. we're witnessing something quite remarkable in the night twenty nine we're watching a country bred testbed in the nineteenth century bubble really for. 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 century. welcome back no school in indonesia has sparks control the sea off to expelling fourteen h.i.v. positive children it reportedly took the decision following complaints from the parents of that classmates we heard from some of the youngsters who were amazed.

among parents strongly objected to the fourteen children sometimes and it's because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to. follow in their protest we took the children out of the school and now we're helping to find a new school for them if they think of. the soul if.

it's up. to us. but we also talked to the head of an and geo that helps indonesian children infected with hiv. and i am a fan of the 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 but the 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 that. violence against families in south africa is on the rise new government figures show that the number of attacks has shot up by fifteen percent in the past ten years the vast majority being black on white crime we spoke to a number of people who've been assaulted. i think clearly you see brought me into my children's spirit i'm so much interest in the lagoon to the activity field and insist that this is still life you know we isotopes light up in the top and i was scratched by guy but he spun me around my neck and how to come to my age. not. because i went down the great he got the hippest of the stick. i stood up with

their tax is disproportionate we're not among those claiming there is a wide genocide or a crime against 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 the white the white genocide narrative it if it does not exist dispense 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 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 in 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 is 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 abuse that loves to protect. to protect what i watch people under attack and vice versa is a case where we fall. iranian photographer has lashed out at donald trump after the us president use one of her photos in a scathing tweet about the islamic republic the old i'm aware he said the image was used without permission causing deep sorrow for her the u.s. president posted the tweet in both farsi and english on monday as a rainy and marks the fortieth anniversary of the overthrow of the u.s. backed czar miss murray condemns donald trump saying her photo shouldn't be used by quote men in washington video agency ruptly spoke exclusively to the
