emmanuel macron may be presenting reforms to the for their approval today, but the message from the streets the light is not over yet. the people here are adamant that they remind us the majority of the french public opposes these pension reforms and they say that while this may go ahead with the cabinet today the protesters still hope they can influence the broader .arliamentary debate the big issues have not really changed. this all caps off seven weeks ago with unrest across the country. insistingment still that it will be fair. but the unions behind this big rally in paris are very clear. they say individual sectors, individual professions like teachers and lawyers and doctors that currently have a good pension system -- that leaves out a lot, as well as people who have worked part-time work their whole lives. we message here today is still want the entire pension reform to be scrapped, even if that was particularly unlikely with the political part of this protest really picking up steam today. tom: we talked a little bit about the protest route, because ute, becausetest rp it's unusua

has saidi completely while emmanuel macron has said i am asking the government to come up withister will sit together again to find a compromise but it will be very difficult because emmanuel macron has also said in his new year's speech, i am going to stick with the reforms, so it is really a matter of who will move first and it is not very likely unions. their actions as long as the government doesn't come up with any real compromises but that is very unlikely. also because the situation, the financial situation is pretty difficult, the financial state is not glorious, so emmanuel macron does not have many options and like you mentioned in the introduction, of almost all the european countries they have already reform their pension system or are in the midst of reforms and with 62 yea rs, in the midst of reforms and with 62 years, the french retire quite early. but it sounds like you are saying president macron will eventually go the way of other french residents and give into the strikers? i am afraid he will, absolutely. he is not the first to try to reform the pension syst

but when emmanuel macron says, "if there is not continued european access to british fishing, there'snsive trade deal," are we to take him seriously? yes, because there is a huge concern in the french ports and other regions in europe, so this is the point... but the vast majority of eu nations are not even fishing states. yeah, but this doesn't take away the importance of fishing for france, for belgium, the netherlands, for denmark and for others. it seems there's a danger in talking tough this way, the eu is misreading the politics in the uk because the whole point of brexit is to take back control. if you listen to some of the british fishermen‘s leaders, as i've been doing in recent days, they are saying what they see from the eu is a cynical attempt to continue deeply unfair fishing practices which have disadvantaged british fishermen which they will no longer tolerate. yeah, but this was part of all the treaties and negotiations we had over the decades with britain. the fact the european union wants to stick to these arrangements is not a surprise. it comes as a surprise to som

in terms of how things are moving politically at the moment, we saw last friday emmanuel macron's cabinet formally agreed to the pension reforms. that means this now moves toward parliament for their approval. there will be a parliamentary debate kicking off on february 17. but the unions are hoping they can do, the tool they hope they have, is influence parliament when it meets next month. they are hoping they can try to persuade some of the mp's from across the political spectrum to take their concerns very seririously. there are worries that people here in france will have to work for several years longer to receive the same pension they receive at the moment. it is worth saying that even though there are apparently fewer people out in the streets today than last week in the week before, the general french public has not budged on this issue. it remains the case that around 60% of french people are opposed to these reforms and want to stop the government pushing them through. genie: thank you for joining us from the start of that new protest here in the french capital. now, in syria, g

i think we still have not seen the political proof of that, i think if you look at emmanuel macron inpart, led to the gilets jaunes, these national demonstrations against him, other european leaders, other leaders around the world will use that as either proof or a rationale or an excuse to say, look, this all sounds good on paper but this costs money, this requires economic choices, and i'm not sure we are there yet. and i think annalisa is right, i think when you have people like mark carney saying that, serious members of the economic... financial elite insiders. that may help, and, again, greta thunberg. i think the politics has changed. the question is whether the political action is there. amir? well, it takes around 50 years for an idea to become fashionable in the west, and this idea has not become fashionable. the first time they talked about it was harold wilson in 1964 during the general election, that the planet is in danger and so on. mrs thatcher talked about it at the united nations during her speech there, but gradually it has become fashionable, for example a few year

the unique position that france is in is that emmanuel macron has fairly good relations with donald trump to trust him to a certain extent but he also has a direct line to the iranians, to president rouhani. so this is a time for france to try and restart those types of negotiations, or to bring about at least a dialogue which was the focus of the previous branch attempt to try to bring both sides back from the brink of what seems like an imminent war. thank you very much indeed. the australian bushfires crisis shows no sign of abating. a number of new fires have taken hold in the state of new south wales, and some residents have been warned it's too late to leave. shaimaa khalil reports from the southern coast of new south wales. it promised to be a day of danger and these bushfires have lived up to every emergency warning. the hellish combination of high temperatures, strong winds and dry conditions have made some of these blazes too vast to control. in kangaroo island, a famous holiday destination, a couple died trying to escape the inferno. they were found near their car. in victoria,

emmanuel macron said the french peacekeeping operation would now operate under the same umbrella as themission. he also promised additional french peacekeepers and said he would try to convince president trump to increase america's logistical support for their forces. the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, says there's been progress but no breakthrough at talks in moscow aimed at consolidating a truce in libya. he said both sides have asked for more time before signing a ceasefire agreement between the benghazi—based warlord khalifa haftar and the un—backed government led by fayez al—sarraj. a man has been rescued after surviving more than three weeks in the alaskan wilderness with little food or shelter. tyson steele was stranded after his remote cabin was destroyed by fire. he lived on canned food and used debris to make a tent in sub—zero temperatures. after being alerted by family members, alaska state troopers spotted his sos message in the snow. scientists in the uk say the wildfires currently causing havoc in australia are a sign of things to come as temperatures across the

are men at the press conference earlier emmanuel macron sounded very dedicated to the bar can mission it's a little surprising given that last week he made some veiled threats that he could pull french support. well it's hard to tell how credible that threat was to. really pull french troops out of the side held but in any case what- my call secured here at the summit was a resounding support from his african counterparts for the continued. french presence in the se hell it was very clearly reflected in the final communique i'm on the question of anti french sentiment in the son helmut kohl was visibly quite emotional about that still when he talked about it- here in in the final press conference- bucks. he will say flanked his counterpartsts for whatt he said was that condemnation of that anti french sentiment s so essentially- both sides putting on a very much a united front said to- essentially and try to explain to everyone that. there is an overall at the strategic imperative here everybody has to work together and that they shouldn't get sidetracked too much by these discussions

but when emmanuel macron says," if there is not continued european access to british fishing, there'sdeal", are we to take him seriously? yes, because we say huge concern in the french port and other regions in europe, so this is the point... but the vast majority of eu nations are not even fishing states. but this doesn't take away the importance of fishing for france, belgium, the netherlands, and others. it seems there's a danger in talking tough this way, the eu is misreading the politics in the uk because the whole point of brexit is to take back control. if you listen to some of the british fishermen‘s leaders, as i've been doing in recent days, they are saying what they see from the eu is a cynical attempt to continue deeply unfairfishing cynical attempt to continue deeply unfair fishing practices which have disadvantaged to fishermen which they will no longer tolerate. but this was part of all the treaties and negotiations we had over the decades we've written. the fact the european union wants to stick to these arrangements is not a surprise. and you can see the whole of step

among them was emmanuel macron, the french president, who stated after meeting netanyahu that he considershose denying israel the right to existence also as anti-semites, and i think that was an important signal here today. and of course also frank-walter steinmeier, the german president has been here today for talks with the israeli president. brent: we just saw the german president in those images. here is part of what he said today. >> finally, i want to assure you that we are aware of germany's responsibility. and i have repeatedly said that this responsibility has no cutoff point. brent: we know that, along with the allied powers of world war ii, germany will also be speaking at this commemoration event tomorrow. what else can we expect tomorrow, peter? peter: well of course all the world leaders have come here. they are here to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the german extermination camp of auschwitz by the red army, by the soviets. and i think they will do both. they will try and commemorate the holocaust, remember the holocaust, keep this remembrance alive, a

emmanuel macron would like to lead it but seems to be quite tied up with domestic problems of his own see. angela merkel is a leader leaving the world stage and is leaving and the french president is weaker, but i wouldn't underestimate his power. and actually the new eu commission president, she is far more on the french side than she is on the german, more cautious side of not putting too much money into things and rather saving, what the germans are very famous for. so i think she is a very, very ambitious politician. she has the dream job of her life and the project of a lie. ——life. she doesn't see it as a sort of swansong to her career? oh, no, absolute you not. this is where she always saw herself and she will seize the moment. and she likes the uk, i wouldn't underestimate how much she loves the uk and she will try to find a balance outcome is where she always saw herself and she will seize the moment. we all like to be loved, don't we? we love having all of you want, thank you to my guests. thank you for your company. that's it for dateline london for this week — we're back n
