the police are not doing anything to protect their properties. french foreign minister says peace between long time enemies as that by john and our media is possible. catherine color is in barcode for talks with the as the by johnny president. she'll also meet with armenian leaders. that's as armenia fowls. a case with the international court of justice, challenging as obey johnny checkpoints, from the corridor from armenia to the occupied region of nagondo cordova. the last major fighting between the 2 countries was in 2020 on to sir. as bernard smith is embark, who now joins us live from there. so it seems this round a burner this been started with a dispute over check points. is the back story really to all of this though, the waning russian influence in the garden of caraballo who they're supposed to be playing the role of course of peacekeepers. right? yes. i mean, there are russian peacekeepers on the main road. the latching corridor that links the ethnic albanians encounter back to armenians. excuse me, in a car, back to armenia proper. they are as a, as there is a, put a check point up on that. they say because ar

ok, there are plenty of people that would like to see more french autonomy, european autonomy. and i like the distinction that john has made here. but there's a lot of other people in the leaks and say, hey, we're pretty high in the pecking order in the empire. is things that go in grade for us, and we to better bako. she's pretty doing great in those paradigm. i mean, this is for me is one of the things that i want to talk about in the 2nd half the program is that so much of this is a meet an ideologically driven alford. before we go to the break, go ahead. yeah. democracy. if you ask the frank people, they will tell you they don't want that and they will tell you they want negotiation. they don't want to send more weapons to ukraine. notwithstanding. what do my grades in linmore goal if you go all or in another crack with algamite title? i speak with people real people. and i don't find anyone who's excited about sending more weapons on to ukraine or about joining the campaign against china and getting, getting up on the one china policy. that's all extremely dangerous. and the europeans have to stay away from t

and i think another thing that's interesting here john is how much anger has coalesced around the person. the frenchdent. but you'll see here at the front of the march where that violence is happening, but also further down. here are a lot of signs and a lot of chance. very personally focused on emmanuel macron. remember that his push to reform the country to change some of its labor laws now to address its pension system has proven so controversial. also bear in mind that these protesters are also picking up where the yellow vestment and let's go. when paris is extraordinary pictures we saw for a couple years burning saturday after saturday in protest of the positive living and inflation that has only gotten worse, and that is also what these protests about not just the pension reform itself, but the cost of living inflation in the fact that a lot of people are finding it really hard to make ends meet. that's what's at the heart of so much of the anger that you're seeing here in paris today, john was the bell. thank you so much for that. thank you so much for the context. it's great to have you the

john, let me go to you in paris. i mean, you and i have known each other knew, but on this program, as long as the french president micron has been in office and you and i have pointed out a number of times that enter did gall trying to fight it's way out of him. sometimes he gets to gall curious, but i don't take him seriously anymore because even when he says those kind of things the next day says something different, i think that is really emblematic of europe's place in the world today. go ahead, john. yeah, i mean, the big difference between the menu and michael and charles to go alert. there are so many of them is that all would never have talked about europe. european autonomy to gold talked about french autonomy and he understood that autonomy can only be national and that any european dimension by definition was incompatible with autonomy. my colon doesn't understand that michael thinks that there can be such a thing as european autonomy. he believe all he occasionally, as you said in your question, petey occasionally says that. but actually there are contradictions in terms. and we saw this, for instance, when

blogs, future relationship with its largest trading partner, french president, emmanuel, my call, how talks with chinese premier league john, soon after he began a 3 day visit micron said he thinks china could play a major role in peace negotiations. between russia and ukraine, micro will be joined by european commission president, sort of on the lion who's on our 1st visit to china since taking office 4 years ago . ahead of her visit, she said john, his position on the war and ukraine will determine future relations with bay ging going forward. go live to our senior asia correspondent, wrong mcbride insole. so always seeing my call on the line speaking from the same page, or is it an element of good call back call going on here. yeah, it is an interesting balancing act to the combination of the 2 european leaders. i think the europeans want to show that they are united on this, but there are differences between their positions. president, macro of france has been the more considerate tree voice amongst the nato leaders when it comes to russia on delay. and in some respects, has taken a harsh line, especially with china, a
