yes, a macron could.e the rhetoric, but he is not independent, he does not have the tools to govern his country, like the vast majority of european leaders. they simply puppet governments additionally remember, if we talk about the fact that the russian kremlin is allegedly involved in anti -government speeches in france, then we must proceed from the fact that the macron carried out pension reform from above, bypassing the national assembly. he acted as an agent of the influence of the kremlin, the same can be said about all the french elites, who in their policy, as it were, put into our hands a powerful weapon of influence on the socio-economic situation of european countries. this is not what we invented. they themselves are done. this is what is called such a sanctioned boomerang, it seems to be returning to them, but we did not launch it. they did it themselves, but still. let's just talk about the economic situation in france. for example, the cannes film festival grand prix of monaco, one of the c

we have 'ust seen president macron h being watched.ust seen president macron come out onto i being watched. we have just seen i president macron come out onto the steps of the elysee palace and the guards turning towards the entrance because the car has just arrived and yes, president zelensky in his distinctive outfit that we have seen him wearing for so much of the last year and a half, walking across the courtyard in front of the band and the guard of honour, walking towards president macron who comes out to greet him and a warm handshake as the two of them meet. they do look, i suppose, from what you can read into these things, they do look to be on very good terms now, don't they? be on very good terms now, don't the ? , . , be on very good terms now, don't the ? , ., they? yes, as i say, after the initial period _ they? yes, as i say, after the initial period when _ they? yes, as i say, after the initial period when they - they? yes, as i say, after the initial period when they were | they? yes, as i say, after the i initial peri

we see that macron.he goes to the biden and says, we are brothers in arms in the war for ukraine , he returns from beijing and says that now in europe there is no need to fight for taiwan at all, we should not follow the american format, then he says this. our task is to help ukraine survive. by all means. do not let russia win, do not allow the expansion of this conflict. that's what kind of game and that's the most important thing, who is playing this game with my hands. ah, i think that, uh, this situation, this situation, how would it be related to the fact that we are a little from our point of view, we evaluate solidarity if we are talking about solidarity because it could when they have solidarity, yes, and we , uh, see it only in our understanding and more in belarusian, but there are other options there is a belarusian version, indeed, it is built, uh at position e. a union of like-minded people with a very high share of responsibility on a global scale. and there is another well-known for us. e

very happy with the emmanuel macron administration. —— very unhappy with the emmanuel macron administration firecrackers and various bangs if we can just listen in for a second. we are going to assume that that smoke is tear gas. lots of people in masks. and you may have seen in the past couple of weeks emmanuel macron at various public events not getting at various public events not getting a particularly warm reception. not evenjust in a particularly warm reception. not even just in france, a particularly warm reception. not evenjust in france, he made a visit and he has criticism following him wherever he goes at the moment. it was a level of criticism that he will have anticipated to some extent, he knows that he is not standing again to be president after this so he can afford in a political calculation to take a hit in his popularity to force through changes that he knows will be unpopular. did you know it would lead to scenes like this for such a long time? clearly we do not know but the calculation is in his mind has been that the french economy simply cannot afford to not do this.

it was the idea of the far right coming instead of emmanuel macron.ot of people, that was not acceptable so they held their noses and went for emmanuel macron. marine le pen of the far right was simply not a valid option for many people. i think he is really windy politically, it would be interesting to see how that translates to the political authority the rest of his term because he lost his majority in the parliament. doing other stuff would be difficult now. christian: notasy talking over the shouting. rest the voice. around the world and across the u.k., this is bbc news. let's take a look at other stories making the headlines today. tribute have been paid to a man stabbed to death at a nightclub on sunday named as 36 on michael allen, who was confirmed dead at the scene following reports of a street brawl. police have been granted more time to question 24 you are man in connection with the merger inquiry. new figures show 4500 hospitality venues have shut down across the u.k. because of soaring costs in the past year. the pace of closures has sl

that means macron resigned. trade union members are unhappy with the content of this pension reform. and the way it was passed. the french prime minister has slammed that on the sidelines. this is across much of the world. the streets were full. i can see demonstrators in all directions. this is normally a celebration of all workers rights. there was a lot of frustration. they are looming over the whole affair. that is not what protesters say. what is the longer-term political ramifications of all this resentment? this remains in office. this is just one political analyst described this as a political impasse. >> it is looking like a political impasse. he has another four years. will he be able to leave the country and govern for the next four years? it has proved entirely unpopular. we see cause for its bags -- cause for the resignation. he doesn't not listen to anyone. macron says these reforms are absolutely needed. france's population is needed. as both to one protester and he has recently don't care what it

the e that was reached between the cdpinion, and the macron. and says, you see, i am carrying out our peacekeeping mission with you. why well , not exactly a combo story, of course, of course yes, the whole summit was opposed to china, that's how it went. sorry in japan yes one of the most important countries of the anti-chinese coalition now, of course for france well, i think that for mr. macron it was somewhat critical, but again, signing with all these belts, you can and so on, please, what did you interrupt? of course i saw it. i've seen china's official statement here, which is very tough and very in this sense, extremely anti-jezevan. this is a body, and the country france - separately well, of course, yes, i didn’t interrupt the agenda, if you interrupt why does china need a powerful, well-thought-out systemic statement, how does it relate to the eccentrics gathered there, because it was a big summit at which a lot of declarative anti-chinese statements were voiced; that france has not signed up for any real anti-chinese action. there w

emmanuel macron says france simply cannot afford to not reform.e made, he said, and raising the pension age to 64 is in line with many economies around europe. unions say that the money be found elsewhere, they say, and they do not want the change to go ahead. there are genuine grievances mixed in with protests and anger at macron personally, mixed in with other cost of living issues. there is never simply one cause but the headline cause is the pension reforms. people here protesting. huge protests in paris. it started in mid—january. people have come out onto the streets and our man on the streets is nick. we have been on air the last 45 minutes, seeing these protesters and seeing the police, what have you been able to see? this is about what have you been able to see? ti 3 is about halfway along what have you been able to see? ti 1 is about halfway along the protest march route and we can walk a bit further. a few moments ago we had smoke that descended on this place because of the tear gas had been fired by the police and you can see the bus s

the fight of the french against the macron pension reform is not over.is slogan , the french trade unions are holding today one of the largest protests in the history of the country because of many french cities since in the middle of the day, a message comes in about riots and clashes between demonstrators and the police in paris, a large group of radical youth. gathered at the head of the trade union column, so the procession was not peaceful from the very beginning in the first 2 hours , the police arrested four dozen people who smashed shop windows and public transport stops watching the french celebrate today in paris from the republic square according to the trade unions, it was attended over 100,000 people. all over france today, according to the police , more than a million frenchmen took to the streets. marseille toulouse lille bordeaux you are about 300 more cities across the country. this is no longer the geography of solidarity, but rather the geography of nationwide protests against the pension reform, lost by the macron. this year, the fren

but still this is the key relative impression of six years of president macron in power and that is assed. find is a re'ection being expressed. and ou is a rejection being expressed. and ou think is a rejection being expressed. and you think this _ is a rejection being expressed. and you think this is the rejection of president macron as a person come as a president as well as his policies? is it more personal than political in some circumstances? i is it more personalthan political in some circumstances?- is it more personalthan political in some circumstances? i think it absolutely _ in some circumstances? i think it absolutely started _ in some circumstances? i think it absolutely started as _ in some circumstances? i think it absolutely started as political - in some circumstances? i think it| absolutely started as political and thatis absolutely started as political and that is the way his policies have been described but it has become personal largely because he himself has made it personal. he has been in the face of people every time he had something to sell and the way that he

what is the reason for the failure of these talks between the labor union and the macron government? what is it that he said that we are france today with a justified phenomenon called makrani and a totalitarian, in fact the vote of these approvals of the economic policies of the car and all with the wave of protests that after 55 years in 1968 , the french government has brought together all the trade unions once again, yes the labor union said that they are preparing for the 14th period of protests, and we have seen in previous periods that there have been disturbances in various sectors, including transportation and other sectors . what is the result of these nationwide protests and strikes in france, mr. serbestani, let us understand that the french government will face a budget deficit of 14 billion euros by 2027, and that is why it is determined to carry out these economic reforms. brought so far the government macron has shown that he does not pay attention to the demands of labor unions, and on the other hand, one of the problems that the french government has is that it has

by the way, speaking about the macron. i'll tell you so. support of watering technology, you can rule with the support of macron bayonets, i tried to rule with the support of technology bayonets attacked at the same time, but sooner or later it all ends. this ends up with the loss of any connection with society. and if what we see in france is democracy, but i would not want our country to ever have such a democracy that is absolutely defiantly ignores any public manifestations. in that sense, of course, we were offered a certain new normality in the fourteenth or year or later. i think a little later, but it's a normal lunatic asylum. who is the crazy house? he put on the first dressing gown, he and the doctor, and the americans brought the gown with them. here they are the first to put on a robe. and now they are doctors and they decide democracy, where not. at the same time , no one is interested in the degree of insanity, and in this sense, of course, we are against it. uh, in front of a very serious choice. how to separate yourself fro

someone after dinner , the macron welcomed the booing president in lyon with the clink of pots.olice pushed back opponents of the pension reform at first with warnings, but then he grew older tear gas macron, thanked the veterans from the crowd approaching the president, had to shelter in prison. while the demonstrators beat, shop windows and burned the barricades, macron listened to a lecture on nazi torture in the manluk and recalled the heroes of the french resistance. jean amulelna on the streets demanded a new lena who could free the country from pension oppression. victory day did not work out, and commentators criticized his post about liberation from the violent rule of national socialism. blame the german chancellor for not knowing whom. in berlin , the russian tricolor was banned again today. alexander khristenko will continue. the ukrainian government does not just rewrite.

critics said he was rather too polite and not critical enough but emmanuel macron did it anyway.re much about what people think about who he meets. , ., , ., meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going _ meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to _ meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to go _ meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to go down? - meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to go down? this - like this going to go down? this noes like this going to go down? this goes much _ like this going to go down? this goes much the _ like this going to go down? ti 3 goes much the issue of the united states subsidies, the 400 billions dollars worth going to technology companies. some political leaders, some countries they do nothing, we willjust some countries they do nothing, we will just carry some countries they do nothing, we willjust carry on with our unsubsidised approach in britain and hope that the companies come to european countries anyway. the second session was that the european union as a whole should compete for th

macron, he himself, apparently, feels his helplessness when he is not the first year.you know, here's the caretaker park, and this morning does not come. he talks about the strategic autonomy of the european union, he feels like the most of the united states, this makes him uncomfortable. and for this honor to him and praise for the fact that he is not comfortable, but he cannot do anything about it. i think that this is rita saying that the macron crows reminds that the rooster is a symbol of france and not only gali and not only gali and when it comes to relatives of the nazis, he didn’t really name who he means, because in there are a lot of stuffings on the internet, but they do not correspond reality. there is trying to connect such a direct connection. there is no connection. i understand correctly, connection. in general, with a retina with one of the leaders of the greens, uh, the father whom he served. yes, i just want to note two things first, uh. that's when you spoke? that the word jews in the speeches of these new nazis has been replaced, uh, with the word

yes, and the macron itself fires flares, as unambiguous signals of power. to cancel the pension reform, either did not recognize, or pretended not to understand. today we are here to show our unity. we must prove the ability to defend their rights the rights of the workers we raise the question. will he listen to us, because in the end it is the responsibility of the macron, we are also waiting a constitutional council that could approve the initiative for a referendum, so i think that we need to increase the pressure to be heard as a result, the may day solidarity of the workers of france was expressed , as they write, instead of the largest demonstrations and nationwide protests in the last decade, hundreds of cities and hundreds of thousands, and according to some reports, even a million participants and the total amount of damage has yet to be calculated, judging by previous pogroms. it will be millions of euros. and this is still the minimum price of pension reform in france that will only grow. after all, if the french talk about the revolution, then

here you can advise the president macron exactly, on the contrary, give an assessment. he, of course, will not do this , the word moscow should be replaced by a geographical name on parry. then it will really be what is happening today and what happened paris suffered a geopolitical defeat in uh in france there are numerous strikes protesting against the current government against the weakening of the national economy, which, unfortunately, is getting worse every month because it is france, like some other countries western europe fell into vassal dependence on the united states of america and waged war against russia , fulfilling the installations that are drawn up washington are increasingly weakening their own national economy. more and more aggravate the situation of their citizens of their population, therefore, of course, all these macrons, scholtsy bidens, will go down in history with a load of shame, which was rightly noted yesterday at a meeting of the state duma of predation to all, chairman of the state duma vyacheslav viktorovich volodin hello, what can you

the fact is that the plane gave him a macron. and the french did not like it at all.inues to play in a taxi for zelensky, he flew on an airbus of the french republic to the g7 summit in japan french taxpayer will be delighted macron, put the champs elysee airbus at zelensky's disposal this decision is an abuse of public goods sends a dangerous signal of france's support for the ultra-corrupt regime hostile to russia proves that the state does not count every euro makes all talk of co2 emissions ridiculous zelensky, so that he could fly to the g7 , another symbolic step is unheard of turning into an accomplice in the conflict, so that save the elusive mandate. macron wants to drag us into a war with russia the decision that is made at the g-7 summit in hiroshima is aimed at double containment of russia and china, the minister of foreign affairs said. sergei lavrov, he spoke in the moscow region at a meeting of the assembly of the council on foreign and defense policy. the task of the west according to him, set loudly and openly is to defeat russia on the battlefield an

to one more thing that hides paris and macron a lot, and in particular, but paris is today between these are the sanctions of the united states of america, these are retaliatory measures from china and russia, and without restraint. the protectionism that is spreading across europe is why all the actions of the macron are aimed at somehow surviving this fight that is unfolding today. they don’t want to present it to us in the information space yet, but it exists in this and lies all the subtleties of french foreign policy, we are talking about the survival of europe in general for today as a whole, and not just france . and there are a huge number of problems in the european union . in general, they will gain one simple thing , they will have the slightest opportunity to attack and destroy. they will know that there will be no answer, they will know that there will be nothing behind this, just as there was nothing for them in yugoslavia for this in libya there was nothing for this in syria in iraq, which means they will attack and destroy in the name of democracy and freedom and that’s

he's meeting his french counterpart, emmanuel macron.tement from the elysee palace said mr zelensky and mr macron will discuss french military and humanitatian support for ukraine. it's mr zelensky�*s third visit to a major european power this weekend. he was in germany earlier and on saturday he was in rome meeting italian leaders. live now to france where we can join hugh schofield our paris correspondent for more on zelensky�*s visit. we heard a big announcement from germany about nearly $3 billion worth of aid on his visitjust before his visit to germany but are we expecting anything similar, any similar announcements from france? not that we have been led to believe, that is all i can say. there will be some kind of official press statement at the end of this dinner in a couple of hours and it may be that there is mention of more munitions and arms from france to ukraine but we have not been led to suspect that will happen in any major way. suspect that will happen in any majorway. france suspect that will happen in any major way. f

graine anson you are called a person who whispers in the ears of the president to tell president macronrecent interviews tried to distance himself and france from aid to ukraine i don't whisper i talk when i have the opportunity we talk with president macon both publicly and privately i tell him the same as ivan, but i have to say about my country, about france and different statements of opinion, but the real position of france regarding aid to ukraine remains unchanged, firstly, ukraine must win , secondly, we must help this victory happen, and thirdly, what the victory will look like will be decided by the ukrainian people, and the crown, if you look at his statements, is always repeated even at the beginning of a full-scale war. and now i was present at his meeting with president zelensky and witnessed how they spoke in paris for two months and macron directly said to zelenskiy victory is yours, we will help and the definition of victory is your business after that there were a few more not very wise sentences more diplomatic but the position of france and the maps what is the posit

pay attention to one more point, which hides paris and the macron a lot.particular, but paris is today between the lights. these are the sanctions of the united states of america, these are retaliatory measures from china and russia, and without restraint. the protectionism that is spreading across europe is why all the actions of the macron are aimed at somehow surviving this fight that is unfolding today. we have it in the information space, they don’t want to represent it yet, but it exists, and this is where all the subtleties of french foreign policy lie; we are talking about the survival of europe in general for today all, and not just france. and there are a huge number of problems in the european union and, in general, a priori, the macroru very often evaluated the internal audience , which must be shown at least something that he defends the national interests. the french, after all, everything that the macro says is actually discussed in europe, and so why are we helping ukraine, why are we supplying weapons? why do we need a war? take care of fr

uh, mr macron's statements about, uh, the master's vassal.ou know, this is according to freud he says that, and mr. macron is known for the fact that for more than a year, he has proclaimed a course towards ensuring the strategic autonomy of the european union . this is an eye that cries out in the desert . let’s say the minister won’t allow it, but the economy of the same mr. macron, back in august last year, shook the air, and complained that because of the actions of the united states in the context of anti-russian sanctions. and in the context of the fact that the european union i was forced to obediently follow this and the american illegitimate policy. the cost of, er, energy carriers for european business was four times more expensive than for business in the united states, which led, where the industrialization of europe, the transition to the transfer of business, and from the old continent across the ocean. just like long before the special military operation and completely regardless of what happened there, the united states took a

we see that what is m-m such a fickle, unstable in this regard, but a macron.oes to the biden and says, we are brothers in arms in the war for ukraine, he returns from beijing and says that now in europe there is no need to fight for taiwan at all, we should not follow the american format, then he says this. our task is to help ukraine survive. by all means. do not let russia win, do not allow the expansion of this conflict. that's what the game is and that's the most important thing, who's the game leads me with his hands. and i think that, uh, this situation, how is it related to the fact that we, from our point of view, evaluate solidarity a little if we are talking about solidarity, because it could when they have solidarity, yes, and we, uh, see , its only in our understanding and more in belarusian, but there are other options, there is a belarusian version, indeed, it is built, uh on the position. e. union of like-minded people, e with a very high share of responsibility on a global scale. and there is another well-known for us. e dot vision. this is us

ay here is a macron., says, you know, says, i have a secret idea. and come on, come on, he says, we have you now, uh, the gods of brazil did not coincide much, he says he did not reach. i'm up to brazil says, so i'm sure, in principle, there ukrainian brazilian relationship. they will get better overall. well said, unfortunately, but he is also brazil yes, many brazilians, well, who tested someone like that? yes, that's why we are here bytes we are solving issues, therefore, yes, god be with them, as it were, yes. well, that's all, we are there, in the general background, you know, i liked scholz's statement, which are the general outlines, and he makes a statement saying that but when ukraine wins. let's continue pumping up weapons. actually. you know, this is the marker that really sits in their head and no one is talking about ending the regulation of the conflict, in principle, everyone is well aware that no matter how the current company ends, no matter what happens, if even a little bit of the ukrai

in the end, she stopped emmanuel macron. wanted to embody the movement, but france is paralyzed while the whole world is galloping, a rare president has been so cut off from everything, so isolated and so criticized. but at the same time so arrogant. for every minister. now declared a kind, hunting not a day goes by that members of the government are not greeted and accompanied on their journeys around the country by the clatter of empty pots. the elysee palace once again expresses its desire to invite to the negotiating table, the leaders of the trade unions, we are extremely concerned about how the power goes beyond all boundaries, that prohibitions are multiplying. now you can not go out with a red poster with a whistle with a saucepan when this authoritarian escape from the problems is over, there has not been such a unity of all the eight largest french trade unions since 2009, when the world was going through consequences of the deep financial crisis , workers promise new joint actions. within the next month and all. t

that is the french president emmanuel macron who has just met the japanese prime minister kishida who has been welcoming everyone to the memorial piece garden there in hiroshima. this meeting is expected to get under way shortly but what the japanese prime minister has been doing is welcoming all the leaders of the g7 nations as they have been arriving just a moment ago. the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau also arriving at this meeting. there is plenty on the agenda, we know the leaders will be discussing the war in ukraine for one, certainly china's presence in the region stop either has already been a flurry of news in the lead up to this summit,, a us official saying there would be new steps to economically isolate moscow and we can its ability to wage war. we are looking at the hiroshima memorial piece garden where the japanese prime minister has been welcoming world leaders. we will continue to keep an eye on these pictures as we are expecting more world leaders to arrive there and be welcomed by the japanese prime minister. the location of hiroshima is significant with a l
