i. was. in france tens of thousands of. fourteen straight weekend of anti-government protests with clashes erupting in the capital it has now been three months since the protest movement began also ahead.

haiti is gripped by civil unrest with thousands of protesters flooding the streets of the caribbean nation's capital calling on the president to step down over claims of corruption and economic mismanagement. fourteen hiv positive children are expelled from a school in indonesia at the insistence of parents we speak to some of those who. keep. the faith. and broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our national certainly glad to have you with us as we recap our week's top stories right now yellow vest a demonstrators took over the streets of paris again on sunday rallying again.

people are calling falling a living standards the weekend marked three months since their protest campaign began with saturday seeing over forty thousand turn out nationwide to vent anger over president emanuel backgrounds policies. then the. skirmishes between activists and police broke out in a number of cities including not and leon the protests in paris also descended into violence by late afternoon are to show dubinsky was there throughout the day for us . we saw the protesters that throwing items to it's peaceful really get have to move a little bit further on because that gas is now. 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 planes and it's one of the methods that they used to trying to spruce the protesters 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 amount of force against these protesters who are because somebody had being moved injured not clear what that person's injuries are put 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 trying those cross portals i guess photos 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 would just with looks like tear gas pellets going off by that gas already coming in pretty quick. so we've just got to try and move away from it because it really just pick out your throats in your eyes. you see people coughing. that's a result of that to go. forward with. the fork. 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 pops 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 show that you can ski auti paris. during the protests on saturday a number of yellow vests were filmed during hurling projectiles out of police vans . lets us he was. video was a posted online by a french police union to illustrate the challenges facing officers we 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 and 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 is since the yellow vest protests began some have suffered life changing injuries earlier this week we spoke to fiorina the gear who was hit in the head with a stun grenade in december she says she may lose her left eye here's a story. if. policemen are 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 cold guns were on the right and i was on the left so explain to me why the policemen fired in might have direction 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 day it was calm and

focused and there were very calm yellow vests around us then some who have been started vandalizing the shop on another side of the street trying to set fire to it policemen started to shoot to help 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 decrying the government's failure to tackle grinding poverty.

some of the protesters have also been voicing their contempt for washington and its apparent and backing of the current president and number of videos have emerged of demonstrators burning the american flag. and the u.s. national security advisor met with the haitian foreign minister on friday to discuss the riots or john bolton expressed washington's enduring support for the caribbean nation and called for dialogue to resolve the crisis while the state department warned us citizens against traveling to haiti. similar anti-government protests continue to shape venezuela but while the u.s. was quick to throw its weight behind the opposition there it is taking a somewhat different approach with ag and she's really trying to comments now on the fine line that makes an elected leader. protests are 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'm one of the nation's not just poor it's starving. rich people in the country. don't. earn everything. the massive population that you. can use to be like a bit of polling 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 movies 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 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 that is 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 to put news stream. an old and entrepreneur ones is results and therefore i hope to 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 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 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 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 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 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 border on sunday an american delegation including senator marco rubio arrived at the colombian border city of kuta rubio has condemned the situation in venezuela as a manmade crisis of epic proportions created by a criminal regime and says the u.s.

will stand with the venezuelan people he also called for free and fair elections in the country. at a minimum enduros regime is not a government it is a mafia it is an organized crime syndicate similar to the mafia's 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. just a few days ago. that he wanted to gather an army of volunteers at the border to receive the aid supplies bund 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 majority 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 spokesperson for the organization says it does not consider the supplies to be actual humanitarian aid

executive director at the ron paul institute daniel mcadams believes the u.s. is running a regime change operation in disguise. 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 that 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 in a covert operation in the nose that he's standing in front of the last ten to toss a bridge a saying with doro stopped close in this bridge that bridge as your viewers know

has never been opened. in new york the venezuelan bassett or to the u.n. has been restricted from traveling outside the city by the u.s. state department that comes just a day after he accused the u.s. of making blatant attempts at regime change in venezuela samuel mancha accusing the united states of lying and manipulating the facts to confuse people about the true situation in his country venezuela's minister of foreign affairs has called the movement restrictions an attack on freedom of speech here is it daniel mcadams again with his reaction. well they do this to countries that they want to target for regime change or target for punishment i think they think it did for russian diplomats in washington d.c. if i remember right and they do this for other countries that are on the u.s. bad list it's just another attempt to marginalize the legitimate government representatives of venezuela is the most this is the most you've got to hand it to

this is the most transparent and overtly explained regime change in history. is cool 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 of the tandems because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to. follow in their protest with the children out of the school and now we are helping to find

a new school for them if they think i think of the soul i think i. think it's a book i asked if. we

also spoke it to the head of an ngo that helps indonesian children infected with h i.v. . 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 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 farmers in south africa is on the rise in the number of attacks as shot up by about fifteen percent in the past two years and according to south african police statistics the majority is a black on white crime we spoke to

a number of people who claim they were assaulted. classically use the pro team to make a difference to be done so much looks good here in the film to go out to the field and don't think that this is the late you know what i slips like a from the toe and i was scratched by a guy but it's all my naked how to count my age. dog. eat dog. as i went down the garden he's gone but he produced the stick. as a student of some of the songs we need for us only she will continue to come to the front for a low. revealed incomplete does that mean you're really going to go and see. the whole time they held a shotgun to my far edge the one that is going to meet up and you keep saying

you'll dance just a notch and stocks. in for the gold. this case follow i'll consider any. recent published report has revealed that electric drills blowtorches and bleach have all been used as assault weapons against farmers in south africa for seventy more than seventy percent of the country'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 the fears of a mass seizure of white on 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 the lack of law and order on the nature of their tax is disproportionate were 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 are on record as as dismiss. the the what the white genocide narrative if it does not exist spends that being said. you do get into it into issues of what what motivates these crimes and an argument could be made that in certain instances. rictus richest 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 see you solutions you know to become trapped in that racial prison we are aware of instances where we. reject people being attacked and also i think it must be pointed out that that part of the whole form or matecumbe form of phenomenon is the vulnerability of workers you know pretend to be interviewed like 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 a donald trump after the u.s. president used one of her photos in a scathing tweet about the obamacare public yalda mari said that the image was used without her permission causing her deep sorrow and 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. back to shah ms. condemned to donald trump saying that her photo should not be abused by quote men in washington our video agency ruptly spoke exclusively to the photojournalist. but he denied it at the annual 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 on december the fourteenth twenty seventeen during a protest a tear 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. moria has also issued a lengthy statement in response to donald trump's tweets she says that u.s. sanctions are devastating the lives of ordinary iranians. in that as much of fox my protest against this tweet can be defined as a social aspect i mostly relates to family it's 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 all 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. well that doesn't remain my colleague kevin owen will be a here in about thirty five minutes with a full and fresh look at your news your watch our two international so glad to have us. and what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an injury. or some want to.
