it's to france now where a weekly meeting of president emanuel macross cabinet is set to be dominated by the biggest crisis to face is administration yet in the face of increasingly violent nationwide protests comes government announced it would postpone an unpopular rise in fuel taxes crones as the tax is crucial to combat climate change but protesters say the burden to pay for that is not being shared by the rich. the yellow vests there's alasia on their protests over the past weeks forced the french government to back pedal for now there will not be any tax increases. i will postpone the planned tax increases for several months they will not come into force until they have been discussed with everyone involved but don't. many french people are suffering from the rising cost of living and see mccombs planned eco tax to increase fuel prices by several cents as a failure of policy that's triggered. protests according to a survey three quarters of the french feel sympathy for the yellow vests here in the countryside the citizens feel particularly detached rundown schools dilapidated ho

to the french citizens how is macross how is how is that going to play out with the french citizens when we look at the john movement right now going on when all this there's all this problem with taxation in france it's a very hard sell it's something that macross not going to not going to want to push too much but like i say he doesn't want to play follow the leader so he's probably going to have a little time passed before he bails out on syria as well ok political analyst you safire in thanks very much for coming to the program and sharing your views thank you. this hour neil harvey will take over and around thirty minutes time but do stay tuned now for crosstalk. were. leaked. the are you looking. for people feed the economy because they buy scratch tickets scratch off lottery tickets you know when i was living in the ghetto in new york you know the red apple grocery store uptown had the highest prices in town and the liquor stores are open and you buy you know more expensive in the ghetto and that's how you build an economy it's almost built on the backs of the poor in america was

it's sad macross friends call for my death i will live forever and talk for the children of friends it said bashar al assad friends call for my debts i will leave forever and talk for the children of syria although the french version has now we surfaced under a new name it has lost many of its followers and the original version remains and a co-author of the account james carey told us what motivated him. the motivation behind it obviously i mean it's fairly clear it was to do with some of that bond was you know a piece of regime change propaganda during the syrian civil war and decisions for war were being made on the twitter of a little girl that's a ridiculous concept to think about and to expand that out to you know any country is crazy and it was just pointing out how. crazy how insane that idea is that a child and you know some on the street reporters in aleppo were basically dictating foreign policy for the united states israel turkey you know all these countries are basing their words on what was supposedly just a child deciding between one day so we just decided to run with it

to point out the hope ocracy of when this happens in a western nation nobody had any problem with macross using what are chemical weapons on his own people and we just wanted to point out that when this happens in a nato country if there is no propaganda effort there's an effort to cover it up. in the midst of a heated brags that debates one moment in the u.k. parliament between prime minister to resign may and opposition leader jeremy colvin has slippery to say that what some people are asking whether quote we must have missed optimistic comments under his breath well take a look feel south to the labor leaders say woman all people. it is would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements for no deal deal would reduce zoster for our country and no responsible government would ever allow its kind of christmas i know it's not going to stop going down the chimney on the terrace misreading the sun lounger. it's the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking a negotiating. the climate is such style to bring in acceptable to you but it's a wrong

we spoke to the man you just saw they told us he's still not satisfied with macross proposed solutions. to these measures will affect only a small part of the population not all of the people would benefit from what astronaut not all of the people are paid minimum wage there are people with a slightly higher wage he targeted a small majority unfortunately this is not the whole population and these measures are really small he could do a lot more he should have reduced the salaries of the rich because they have disproportionate salaries. these are rich ways that this is not fair the poor pay more debts the rich has zero taxes this is disproportionate this is the beginning of chaos we should find measures to resolve it we are on the streets in the wind in the cold not for. pleasure. for the french of calm because they could not stand that this is lasted for years not only micron although here was did nothing to see the situations people are on the streets not giving you because they are determined . to put a fresh political. he believes that macross latest economic maneuvering isn't quit

forces as of syria on a visit to charge in central africa macross said he very deeply repressive the move and said allies should be dependable across the praise u.s. defense secretary says who resigned in protest the trial decision. the body of a seven year old girl who died in the u.s. the troll border patrol custody has just arrived home. died in texas earlier this month reportedly from dehydration and shock her treat her journey u.s. authorities were heavily criticized for the way they handled her case. in sudan they've been fresh demonstrations in the capital khartoum with the soaring price of bread protests challenging president omar al bashir is room are now into their fifth day saddam's opposition says twenty two people have been now. the so-called right to protest. german luxury carmaker b.m.w. has been fined ten million dollars by say korean authorities they say that the carmaker was too slow to recall vehicles affected by a faulty engine but b.m.w. may have bigger worries than just the fine it now faces a criminal investigation in south korea south korea's transport ministr

as a result of president in modern macross promise to boost wages for low income workers he made the pledge following weeks of protests the demonstrations were originally spock's by anger over a planned fuel tax hike and response not cos crap to the tax increase the minimum wage of one hundred euros a month the total cost of those concessions could be up to fifteen billion euros here in concerns of unsustainable debt. meanwhile italy's government has agreed on the basis of a new budget aimed at avoiding disciplinary action from the european union the move comes after the country's original spending plans were found to be in breach of fiscal rules italy's leaders wanted to increase welfare payments cuts taxes and reduce the retirement age but the e.u. says those plans will raise the country's deficit beyond acceptable levels the details of the revised budget i'm not yet know. i'm on that i'm joined by our financial market correspondent what about in frankfurt only so the three percent of g.d.p. deficit limits is part of the e.u. stability and growth pact what does it mean when a heavy

why he's along and i see protests macross comes with the tax. related tax. it's not enough we should have woken up years ago we took too long to wake up and now we have to make up for the years we missed there in really way too many abuses for years and he isn't listening to us he had a program that was actually not too bad but he didn't do anything he promised. goes we'll. what are your politics. on the evidence you. me i'm not political at all. i'd like to have the right to vote on the important laws think it passed. because we don't get to give our consent. if some of them. own what we don't have a right to decide on these things. are you against micron's attempt to improve the environment. or well no actually we would all love to drive with clean energy but the government's plan doesn't stand up that's not how we're going to achieve anything we can't even pay for our cars now so it's impossible to all buy electric cars or hybrids. and that's the plan what's going on in the next few weeks. the folks here all these years i think it's going to get rough it'

electricity powers the fans and the pumps and the water cools the heat exchangers to be here always in macross which were in on this idea about the should decide this is called an idea about a cooling off of the water evaporates and that lowers the temperature. it's a very efficient and economical process but if it's really hot outside and we have to switch over to a large refrigeration system to keep the facility cool the grid trying to move on all minutes and. the heat that's generated by the servers is a serious problem. i.t. experts and engineers around the world are trying to come up with solutions. lots of people use the internet all day long frequently checking into social media platforms like facebook twitter or youtube and all those billions of clicks use a lot of energy these four young women in berlin are roommates on a martina mabena and not use digital technology to organize their home. and that's why they call themselves smart roommates. so yes that's their mom in the sense thing we've seen when we get up in the morning he's checking out emails and facebook and instagram in secre

future great but if you're doing this to protect the militia this will bring no benefit to anyone macross doesn't want to leave right after trump because if he's right after trump left he's going to look like he's going to look like he's playing follow the leader he's going to look like an american puppet he's going look like he's on the bad side of a ventriloquist act with president trump and he doesn't want to look like that he wants to look strong when we look at french the french role and basically been non-existent they've played second fiddle to the united states if they think they can fill in the shoes of the united states and continue the coalition fight against isis without the u.s. france has neither the money to finance this operation they don't have the boots on the ground to support the operation so it's basically a lose lose situation with france right now. but that was more useful after this short break. for people feed the economy because they buy scratch tickets scratch off lottery tickets you know when i was living in the ghetto in new york you know the red apple grocery

cannot get along together the only thing they have been common is that they want to get rid of more of macross we have to change the constitution make much more parliamentary much more you call a constitution. the u.s. senate has unanimously approved a resolution blaming the saudi crown prince for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi in istanbul in october the senate also passed a separate motion demanding a halt to u.s. military support for the saudi intervention in yemen that declaration was approved by fifty six votes to forty one both motions are present a clear challenge to president trump's policies on saudi arabia and also his refusal to scale back military ties with the country although in recent months there have been some conflicting signals coming from the administration. we need to have a serious hard talk with the saudis to let them know we won't condone north we won't give you a pass and don't do their thing in this is very very serious do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't traditionally view we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including

thousand people took part in these yellow vests protests across the country french president emanuel macross surveyed the damage in paris he held an emergency security meeting sunday no official statement out of that he has officials to meet with protest leaders earlier mccrone told supporters in one azeris course he was there for the g twenty summit that all those responsible for the violence will be identified and held to account political commentators on break want believe the problem is rooted much deeper than just these reforms right now in france. it's not just about the gas prices but it's a general hold against the police the of the government the problem is that it's not most of the government can do because the government asking will be the orders from the european commission and the european commission want to balance the budget and do that in the public services and that has been going on for years and years and years including the law and circassians on that is not all my cause i didn't see as the solution to everything in his head aching sixteen year old and sixteen you said ce

they say it's only a small elite who are profiting from macross policies. priscilla is on her way to paris to organize a protest she hopes will shut down the downtown area heard livelihood is on the line. but these are many visitors who protesting because we have less and less money enough places to take the fuel tax it's already very high and they keep on increasing. her car is absolutely crucial for her organic cosmetics business and driving is becoming increasingly an affordable for many people with lengthy commutes to and from paris a few months ago her silly little ski set up an online petition calling for a reduction in the mineral oil tax within just a couple of weeks it had been signed by several hundred thousand people the petition spawned a grassroots movement named after the vests worn by people protesting against president micron's policies the yellow vests now number half a million of them little my well seventy and this is my first demonstration prices are on the up for everything gasoline gas and electricity and two hundred euro short a month

brought people out into the street and high prices of course the lack of funds winning institutions and macross neoliberal globalist policies. across approval rating has fallen from some fifty five percent. down the eighteen percent while polls also show that sixty eight to seventy two percent of the french people support the protests that the media is trying to degrade me as as violent and mobs and so on when we see clearly that it is you and firemen and students out there protesting and it's not just in paris it's all across all across the country and they're not just protesting the fuel taxes and mccrone personally but they're also protesting very specific thing other things in his policy like his removal of the wealth tax with one hand in the hands an extra fuel tax to the working class and the poor all the other hand he removes taxes from the ultra wealthy and corporations so that we're saying is that he made that if you know if you're for saving the environment let the working class people well absolutely he will scold the president of the reach of he is speeches last year he made a scand

hikes and high living costs quickly snowballed into a revolt against the french president emanuel macross. i mean look of course was i was was was. was. is the tear gas leaves this area over the seans allee's a famous streets in paris police are moving their way up towards the arc de triomphe clearing out anybody who they deemed to be involved in the violence that we saw or a rope out of absolutely nowhere it was incredibly peaceful and then just in a few seconds it went from zero to ten immediately and we saw police deployed here gas was also a water cannon as well as well as the rubber bullets being fired at after five weeks of the police tactics being found somewhat lacking what we have seen here is well the subsidy at least any weight tactics that have brought every single one of those yellow vests demonstrators into one little corner here there are a number of people that are acquiring medical attention we saw one of our colleagues from france he was here on the show on sunday say was taken away for some medical treatment. that that was going to be god and however this has been a muc

just to point out the hypocrisy of when this happens in a western nation nobody had any problem with macross using what are chemical weapons on his own people and we just wanted to point out that when this happens in a nato country if there is no propaganda effort there's never to cover it up. and they make the hated breaks it's a bait one moment in the u.k. parliament between prime minister to resign may and opposition leader jeremy colvin has liberated is hard at work some people are asking whether cool been method and his thought in this to comment on the his breath how to look for yourself to believe to say woman all people. it is it would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements for no deal to old would read exhaustive for our country and no responsible government would ever allow it spent the next christmas and it is not to miss talking down the chimney on the precipice praying to god to find the right thing. it's the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking to go see. the climate so that style to bring acceptable detail but it's a

loss trade lower asli manny is a former president of the young european socialist she says president macross is out of touch. what is clear is that with the holiday coming up it's probably going to go a little bit down but we don't know what's going to happen in january anyway and he hasn't brought any solution to part of the protesters also that are high school students for instance and i think that that was one of the major mistakes of his political stance you know not understanding that the youth also want justice and want recognition for the their studies. so we'll see we'll see if you know what happens after today but what is for sure is that there is a huge frustration with mccombs announcements this week because clearly he didn't understand the main message of the core or the two main messages at the core of the protests which was social justice that the wealthy also contribute to public services decent wages transition and democracy you know how can citizens be heard in the political decision making process is this because clearly it's not the case so i don't think he's addressed the

attractive leader emanuel macross president of france and personally i have an enormous respect for president. what what he's been hit with at the moment is this same backlash against the forces of globalization the same people who've been left behind in this tremendously global wave of globalization which has changed the structure of society in many ways but i wouldn't say that it is the that what you're saying in france is as bad as benghazi well as of now people are not being leased on this streets are friends but i'm sure you know that there is a lot of looting and a lot of criminal activity in addition to the a protest activity that's going on there. i cannot help but ask you why do you think western media having such a different lance on on the events in france compared to the events let's see in libya in the beginning because in the very beginning police brutality there wasn't comparable to what we are seeing in france and i really don't think you can about let me go out why not well i'll tell you because in libya you had an extraordinary government that had been through many different
