over claims of corruption and economic mismanagement. and fourteen hiv positive children are expelled from school in indonesia at the insistence of outraged parents we speak to some of those who were removed. the target. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program is r t international. yellow vests the demonstrators took over the streets of paris again on sunday rallying against what people are calling falling living standards the weekend marked three months since their protest campaign began with saturday seeing that more than forty thousand

turned out nationwide to vent anger over president of policies. but then the. skirmishes between activists and police broke out in a number of cities including nanda and lee on the protests in paris also descended into violence by late afternoon r.t. show dubinsky was there throughout the day. i. was. pursuing the protest is that throwing items towards peace will really get have to move a little bit further because i guess it is never. coming across this. and it's really not very nice very difficult to talk stories or 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 spruce the protest as these protests now have been

going on for three months there have been incredibly violent times we have seen the police also using a huge amount of force against these protesters who are because somebody had being moved injured not clear what that person's injuries are receiving medical attention now as a result of that and that is just one of the thousands of injuries you see not just from the protest is 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 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 have been throwing those grass 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 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 nice game going on between the two with the police responding then with take as you might just see a couple more of those rocks landing there towards the police forces. as the 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 illegals don't like the european union either but those rocks now projectiles being thrown quite forcibly against the

police and you can see no other. thing into ward serious with what looks like here this pallets going off by that gas already coming in already. so we've just got to try and move away from it because it really just pick out your throat through 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 back to fourteen thousands of people came out to paris many people had thought that this pup's it be the last. saturday protest of the shirley

jones but this is a movement that's been going on now for three months and they have absolutely no intention of finishing it shows that you can ski r.t.e. paris during the protest on saturday a number of yellow vests were filmed hurling projectiles at a police van. well you know he was. the video was posted online by a french unit to illustrate the challenges facing officers who were joined by a police representative to discuss the rallies and their violent elements. 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 on the other hand we are public servants and have to be friendly and even if you are tired you have to go on duty due to exhaustion we

could easily make a mistake. it is estimated that around three thousand people have been wounded since the yellow vest protests began some have suffered life changing injuries earlier this week we spoke to league nair who was hit in the head with a stun grenade in december she says she may lose her left eye here's a story. it was this is 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 right and i was on the left so 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 seans elisa it was comment first and there were very calm yellow vests around us then some who haven't started vandalizing the shop on another side of the street trying to set fire to it policeman started to shoot to help the firefighters

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 saved 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 port au prince are calling for an end to their country's rampant corruption and to decry the government's failure to tackle grinding poverty. some of the protesters have been also voicing of their contempt for washington and it is apparent backing current president

a number of videos have emerged of the demonstrators burning the american flag 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 for dialogue to resolve the crisis while the u.s. state department warns its citizens against traveling to haiti. similar anti-government protests continue to shake in venezuela but while the u.s. was quick to throw its weight behind the opposition there it is taking a somewhat different approach with haiti our comments now on the fine line that makes an elected leader legitimate. protests are turning deadly. in crowd wants to president to get the hell out of his office. but. they loathe his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election

. but enough that i'm one of the nation's not just poor it's starving. rich people in the country. don't. earn everything and yet the massive population. conquered and used 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 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 there president trump and i own troops and 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. venice. donna true. venison the drum 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 but this is the nature of 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 aoe the secretary of state not a word from donald trump so business 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. meanwhile the u.s. has begun what it calls humanitarian aid shipments to venezuela essential like food and medicine have already been delivered to the colombian border on sunday an american delegation including senator marco rubio arrived to add to the colombian border city of kuta rubio has condemned the situation in venezuela as a man made crisis of epic proportions created by a criminal regime and he also says that the u.s. will stand with the venezuelan people who also call for free and fair elections in

the country. and a minimally duros regime is not a government it is a mafia it is an organized crime syndicate similar to the mafia is that existed in the forty's and fifty's in all parts of the world and the united states it's a mafia it is nothing like your government. well just a few days ago one of the announced he wanted to gather an army of volunteers at the border to receive the aid supplies but president nicolas maduro says he considers u.s. efforts to be interference in his country's domestic affairs and ordered the military to prepare for a permanent deployment on the border with colombia to avoid provocations. and it is not only maduro who has doubts about the u.s. shipments the international committee of the red cross in colombia has no plans to participate in any deliveries of assistance to venezuela a spokesperson for the organization says it does not consider the supplies to be

actual humanitarian aid we asked the executive director at the ron paul institute for his reaction. well the international aid organizations have explicitly refused to participate in the u.s. is quote unquote humanitarian aid convoy aid relief to venezuela because it's not a centrally what it is is a regime change operation to skies as aid and in fact that would be illegal according to international law the politicisation the use of the aid the dangling the food in front of people if they overthrow their government is an absolutely cynical move which is not allowed according to international law marco really at the border is designed to escalate he's he's forwarding a lie and he knows that he's engaging in a psychological operation a covert operation in the nose that he's standing in front of the last ten to toss a bridge a saying the door oh stop closing this bridge that bridge as your viewers know has never been opened. school in indonesia has sparked controversy after expelling

fourteen hiv positive children reportedly took the decision following complaints from the parents of their classmates we heard from some of the youngsters who were removed. parents strongly objected to the fourteen children to town it's because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to. but follow in their protests we took the children out of the school and now we're helping to find a new school for them if i think i think of the soul i think i

think i. think it's a book of last week. we also talked to the head of an ngo that helps indonesian children in fact head with age i.v. . 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 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 the farmers in south africa is on the rise or the number of attacks has shot up by fifteen percent in the past two years and according to south african police statistics the majority is black on white crime we spoke to a number of people who claim that they were assaulted. classically use the pro team to make difference to you thanks so much to sit here in the living room do i think

if you could this is the life you know what i slips like in the toe and i'm a scratch guy but it's all my naked how to count my age. dog. the dog. as i went down the garden be gone but he produced the stick. closer to the city sure even you first oh maybe she will continue to push this boy. may be old and current but it doesn't mean you're going to go you know so the whole time they held a shotgun to my far edge the one that is caught in the heat up and you keep saying you'll dance da snatch and stocks. can float all. this case phone how could any. you recently published report has revealed that the

electric drills blowtorches and bleach have been used as assault weapons against the farmers and more than seventy percent of south africa's farmland is owned by white people a legacy of colonialism and apartheid as a result of the socialist government has pledged to redistribute land which has led to fears of mass seizure of white owned farms and although race is believed to be playing a role in the spike of attacks and their increasing brutality some commentators say it is also a question of wider social problems and a lack of law and order. the nature of their attacks is disproportionate we're not among those claiming there is a wide genocide or a crime against humanity but it is it serious crisis and there are signs that it is only going to get wars we're on rick. as as dismissing the watch the white genocide narrative of it it does not exist as friends that being said. 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 rictus rictus racial rhetoric may be a contributing factor once again these are all experiences possibilities commercial foremans. that 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 prism 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. and form of the moment is the vulnerability of workers to pretend to be interviewed right and they've been instances where. black people abuse that loves to protect. to protect what i watch people under attack and vice versa was the case. we

followed in the priest. and iranian photographer has lashed out at donald trump after the us president used one of her photos and a scathing tweet about the islamic republic yelled i'm wiring is said that the image was used without her permission causing deep sorrow for her now the u.s. president posted the tweet in both farsi and english on monday as iranians marked the fortieth anniversary of the overthrow of the u.s. backed shah is condemned at normal trumpet saying that her photo should not be abused by quote men in washington or video agency ruptly spoke exclusively to the photojournalist. but. i have no twitter account and someone sent the picture to me i did not expect this picture to become viral i took this picture under some of the thirtieth twenty seventeen during a protest of terror on university against the economic situation in the country these photos are like a mirror which we should use for our society and we fast to see ourselves and think

that these are our problems i'm upset as this issue has been used for other things and not to help our society this issue has bothered me for a long time yada morea has also issued a lengthy statement in response to donald trump's tweet she says that u.s. sanctions are devastating the lives of ordinary iranians. in that as a matter of fact my protest against this tweet can be defined as a social aspect i mostly relates to families past my life my family is in the us and we haven't seen each other for four years because of a travel ban and it felt like my family was in a prison because we could not even visit each other in another country this is an issue that has happened almost every family has affected our society on the other hand the economic and social impact of sanctions affected people including those who are not interested in political issues caused me to show a symbolic protest it was not something like a legal complaint or anything else. that does it for me i'll be back with more of

the weekly and let's say. thirty six minutes because there was the start introduction. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit on fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. you. i'm going to talk about football narvi or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is it that's like here. and what politicians do yourself to.

put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something i want to. get it right the person was like before you can begin. i'm interested always in the lives of our shows. first of all. we're witnessing something quite remarkable in that one twenty one thing we're watching a country that's been in a nineteenth century bubble brayley 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 time. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to to crush the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political

protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean you know i lived with video through me in the new bill is that i'm new school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took coach invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. must need new source people by as though because of the slime due course new the focus on the most abuse that we. want. to see in the film was not budgeted for the most good moment in.

morning. it all changed when you don't let us. know what. i didn't think the numbers game from the matter of us was over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families did. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be old rich with six percent world market most thirty percent of some with one hundred five would prefer such a perspective and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a.r.u. industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only numbers you need remember

one one business showed you know bored in this one and only room but. closed welcome to worlds apart from my friends everything from economists the law this phrase has long become a byword for selective justice in authoritarian regimes but it actually belongs to a man who to post an elected president before taking his place that happened in pair of a century ago could something similar be happening again and this time in the

united states with all the efforts to unseat president trump well to discuss that i'm now joined by alan dershowitz professor of law emeritus at harvard law school and the author of the case against the democratic house impeaching trump mr dershowitz it's such an honor and such a pleasure talking to you thank you very much for that. well thank you so much as you probably know i voted against president trump i'm a liberal democrat i worked hard to see that hillary clinton would get elected but i'm very much opposed to efforts to remove this president who i voted against by unlawful means whether by invoking the twenty fifth amendment to the constitution which was written for presidents who are incapacitated by medical or psychiatric reasons or whether by impeachment that requires high crimes and misdemeanors so i'm very much in favor not of president trump but in favor of the constitution now when you say that the you're in in favor of the constitution and the civil liberties

rather than motivated by any personal sympathies for president trump do people believe you are is it a hard case to make in this day and age in the united states it's a very hard case to make and people either don't believe me or don't care many friends who are a long long time friends have refused to have anything to do with me they won't go to events that i met because they think i'm taking trump's side you know it reminds me of when i was a young man i was not a communist i was against communists but i took the side of communists who are accused of crimes because of their ideology so good lawyer represents a stands up for the rights of people that they don't necessarily agree with the essence of being a civil libertarian is to defend the rights of everybody regardless of what you personally think of them but many civil libertarians i call fair weather civil libertarians they only.
