marking the international day for the elimination of violence against women in his official residence mccrone one stricter controls on pornography and higher fines for harrison women. we have to do more to help women overcome fear and shame that is why we are setting up an online platform for victims to report violence heris mint and discrimination . several thousand people took to the streets of paris on saturday to protest against the physical and sexual abuse of women two hundred twenty five thousand women suffered abuse by their partners last year in france alone. we have to shed light on this problem change the way we educate people and show men that it's not ok to harass women it has to stop it's just not normal. statistics show that more than half of all french women have suffered sexual assault. a protester also halle's in france for micron held his speech earlier we are joined by journalist on elizabeth take in paris and watch where the reactions across france to the khan's new plan. well you know at this time i don't think we can still have actions against brawls you heard the usual

sabotaging the very delicate political process in lebanon of course one does not know what prison mccrone said to the leadership when it's unscheduled visit there but you know there has to be some synchronicity between his public and private statements and his public statements are pretty disquieting right now because their own they not only contradict his the statements category called support for the here in the a nuclear deal you know at the u.n. just a couple of months ago and so forth you know he seems to be at piecing iran's rial was in the region maybe he's trying to be a shrewd salesman of french arms to the region france as a naval base in u.a.e. as you know and trying to insert it in the regional security calculus more organically whatever it is i think that president barack romney is treading the wrong past is not really faithful to that need d.h. and all that's required to defuse this very potentially dangerous crisis in the region cover you know from your own personal experience how difficult it was what a painful kind of long drawn out process it was to negotiate the existin

and elizabeth just what is mccrone hoping to achieve by inviting hariri to paris to parents. well he's hoping to achieve two things at the same time one is to. reaffirm the importance of france as a major dramatic thought in the middle east and the other one is to offer saudi arabia a way out. easy way out of the problem they've got with not exactly retaining . and then letting him make his statement about resigning the premiership. it's obvious that this misfire because in lebanon you have the strange alliance of both hezbollah and the christian prime minister president of showing who both said they want at the prime minister and in fact was saying we want lebanese sovereignty to be respected by saudi and they could not a saudi the saudis could not keep forever. in riyadh and it's. better for all concerned if harry comes to paris france as a country that has had centuries old ties to lebanon and that can be a sort of an exit of this crisis in a dignified way well just how is hariri is visit going to affect micron's attempt to mediate in the region is a being welcomed or is t

is that mccrone ran on a platform of being very pro european and he's very much euro filed support of greater coordination of europe europe coming closer together so i think again bad news for the prime minister. the u.k. prime minister treason me again label russia a threat to europe and call for unified action to counter their perceived menace she made the comment in brussels ahead of the eastern partnership summit an initiative focused on bringing together countries from across europe we must be open eyes about the actions of hostile states like russia to threaten the potential presence of eastern neighborhood and try to attack our collective strength the part i'm looking forward to today to new commitments from european countries to working together to tackle these challenges in security and development. live from london polly booker joins us now with more on this hi polly i suppose one doesn't need a very long memory to recall that this isn't the first time the prime minister has sought to betray russia as a threat. no reason may is in brussels for this summit that's all about th

president mccrone was saying. that the rich world needs to step up do you think we're going to see. an acceleration of commitments at the paris summit in december well i think what we will see is a lot of commitments from investors from banks to do more to reallocate their their investments towards more climate friendly. uses i think what we heard from the u.n. secretary general today if an infrastructure investment is not green we cannot give it the green light is the spirit of that summit in paris so this is i think really about getting a broader set of investors together to invest in a more climate friendly way it cannot be a replacement for the commitment that developed countries that rich. countries have made to mobilize one hundred hundred billion annually by two thousand and twenty so this is is this is additional is really important to shift those trillions of investment flows. but it's not a replacement for what we have to discuss here which is the public financial support for the poorest countries ok looks my share from german watch staying with us beyond the call of duty

mccrone has also been elected to revive beer can project. it was supposed to be a matter of weeks before he had his german partner now the timing is anyone's guess. >> the city of paris has been picked to host a key institution after britain leaves the european union in 2019. the european banking agency is coveted in london but britain's imminent departure left them looking for a new home. competition to acquire them which employs over 160 people could be theists, dublin and frankfurt lost out of the vote. they voted for amsterdam as their new post-brexit location, the european medicines agency. a total of 23 cities were in the running. charlotte, why did harris went as the host city for the banking agency russian mar? charlotte: we'll have to speculate. a lot of people are wondering why frankfurt was not the winner for the epa. it had been a front matter and we thought it was going to take the lead. it did not, it was knocked out and he did reach the final three alongside dublin and then it came down to dublin and to paris and in a tiebreak

mccrone is the new face of france colonialism it was france among other nations that supported need to bombing of libya creating the chaos that led to current slave trade of african migrants i'm getting very tired of my consing kinking can exert moral authority over africa and so many countries pre-colonial tax to france fifty plus years after their independence he's making neocolonialism greed again. well france's president did many really mcallen's comment and proposal actually. i mean has been quite a surprise a do you remember front was among the country's plane crucial role in leaving crisis in two thousand and eleven it was one of the country's borman lever that led eventually to the rule changes in the country and then later to disability station dramatic a disability nation on the ground and of course it led to cure all to consequences including human trafficking so this is why i now may be asked the question whether more military actions now would help bring the balance bat back to you a story for national speaking to us live from paris there thanks maria. now it's already bee

the merkel era ok so you don't want to count her out just yet and barbara again let's go back to mccrone and this notion that this could be a chance for france to have a rebirth as leader of europe. taking it too far or do you think that that could be precisely what's going on here. i think you're taking it too far brant because france of course is trying to regain its role in the european union which it did absolutely didn't fill out during the last years of the government or launch however. is a very young leader even though very ambitious easy's clique out of the starting blocks but he doesn't have the experience that underlay merkel has and nobody can talk to vladimir putin like she can for instance or kenya imagine a man remote from sort of figuring out how to solve the ukraine crisis i mean she really does have the most experience of all european leaders and so it's a ton of them it's paris and berlin together that are needed in europe alone he will be really very much alone at home. and he can step into her shoes however i think jackson is right it's much too early to write her of

we see there the historical ties what do you think france can actually do right now what can mr mccrone bring to this dispute. in fact mccrone successful in because he saw mohamed bin solomon in riyadh and know maybe we will bring back in paris so. it's a good play it's a success of the diplomatic success so i sing in paris they are happy but they want the choir should be over and the questions will be over one based on how we really will go to lebanon and how we will stay one two days and after you must go to lebanon and this is the deal with the france the fact that the french foreign minister there has been and we saw that shared news conference with. betty how does that play into it because can it be a sort of quote unquote honest broker if it's already sort of well siding with one side or at least it looks like that but in fact france you know. the record link was driven and this is the the door of french influence in the middle east and at the same time france has a very very good partnership with saudi arabia this is a strategic button so for france it was important to do did it

still as a long way to go to pro dander equality and to combat violence against women how does that mccrone propose to do that. because first of all gender equality and hard stopping violence against women are two entirely different things but let's go about this michael says that it should be easier to report violence there should be a telephone number talking about you know reporting vanity decry the fact that only five or one out of five acts of violence against women actually go to the police because women think that they will not be believed he specifically said you know there are all too many of those women who say when you notice that they have bruises oh i ran into a dall and he says this must stop so that's one thing and a series of measures and instructions to the police the authorities movements. to the effect that that should be. that should be sort of a flag that much sooner and that there should be a combination of belief in the women when they come and talk about it and immediate action and violence against women he includes a. female genital mutilation pools and briefly why

saudi arabia two weeks ago hariri made the announcement following talks with french president emanuel mccrone who'd invited him and his family to paris lebanon had claims that the saudis were keeping hariri there against his will something hariri denies his resignation announcement sparked fears of a political crisis in lebanon let's listen to what hariri had to say a short time ago in paris. it's a way to reach out to the political situation in lebanon. i will go to beirut in the coming days. but i will participate in the independence celebrations. and it is this the thai will make known my position on these subjects after meeting president and. well the controversy surrounding saad hariri has led to a diplomatic spat between saudi arabia and germany riyadh says it's recalling its ambassador in berlin over comments by german foreign minister. he had described saudi foreign policy in lebannon as a quote political adventurism and implied that hariri was being forcibly held in saudi arabia riyadh called gabriele's remarks outrageous and unjustified. well here in berlin a last ditch coalition ta

mccrone, in hink france, nobody ever confused him conservative, why does he want to cut france's 25%?orate tax rate to why did president obama say we need to cut the corporate tax rate to 28%? because they know, they know that it will attract investment. host: senator john kennedy, republican from louisiana, and a member of the budget and thanksiations committee, for your time. guest: thank you, enjoyed it. host: back to you calls, t arline, in gold hill, oregon, democrat's line. hi. caller: hello. trump's speech in missouri and the one thing that speech was in that that this is a tax cut, not a reform. reform, reform, us and rightve got now we are hooked, not line and inker yet, they come out and tell the truth, it is a tax cut of the tax cut is going to the wealthy and i believe that senator kennedy very well the stock market and the economy, as they keep is doing so well, no reason to cut taxes when we have $200 billion worth of natural help er that we need to our states recover from and we have infrastructure probably a trillion dollars that needs to be done in our cities states.o

migrants and the french president mako have something to say let's just listen to that first a month in mccrone had this to say. this is human trafficking carried out by africans against africans and the situation must stop what the african union the european union and the united nations have decided this evening is to act decisively first and foremost with extreme urgency to evacuate from libya all those who can and want to be evacuated and help them to return to their country of origin . we will stand in solidarity with others in this emergency operation which will be conducted in the coming days and weeks. so pledged by and money to act decisively and what they actually want to do about this what any details discuss. well this is the initiative it as you mentioned in my name in my call so we have to be clear here this is nothing between the european union and the african union this was on the sidelines but you're right this was probably one of the most pressing issues one of the most important topics here very emotional but it's unclear what exactly or how exactly the countries that are part

were never going to agree and are never going to agree to the kind of broad integration plans that mccrone has outlined not to mention the free democrats who are totally against many of if not all of what he has laid out and when we interviewed lintner recently he compared the macro plan to soviet style economics so i mean there there is. well it might be it might might seem a little bit over the over the top but it doesn't it doesn't show really a deep willingness to compromise with france on these issues i do think that they would have to reach some sort of compromise somewhere and i still think that will that will happen and it is certainly true that the europeans are very worried about this not just because of my call but just to keep sort of the daily business of the e.u. running without germany there without a government in germany that has real digital busy it's going to be very difficult on all kinds of fronts from defense to the euro to the expansion of the e.u. and so forth just to keep things running so i think that is a real issue and maybe that will give president steinmeyer i

matter and disbelief with many suspecting he'd been pressured by the sound is then france's president mccrone invited ten really and his family to paris. where the french leader assured him of his political support off to paris who flew back to lebanon for independence day that means shore from the capital kind of crisis here and to elaborate on this day celebrations you can see now that an iranian backed military and political forces to meddle into furries here in lebanon and throughout the arab region as the major reason behind his decision to resign his today's speech was understood by many as the l.t. made to him that this iranian influence should be diminished one hundred able to speak to people here on the ground and they have told me that given how influential iran bag forces are this could be a difficult thing to do but it is also clear and mr hariri made it clear that if it's not happening he might come back to discuss his resignation decision again so i guess this is the challenge that lebanon is now facing a professor of history and international relations jamal wakim believe socie

we spoke to the human rights and civil liberties activists yesterday who are to you says that mccrone should listen to the people. he's running his party in the same way he's running the country with oregon's and disdain for all evident i agree with him we shouldn't forget and i repeat myself the said here are a few weeks ago mccord came out of nowhere he was elected what fifty one percent of the french people abstain from voting during the a parliamentary elections fifty seven percent of the french also abstained from voting so this person has only two sets he's age and the stock market and that's also used to biggest liabilities because he has no deporting the french political system and he's also perceived as the president of the rich is stuck in the in that seat by the us it's on him to show more openness to was of french people and to listen to this street people want security but he sending them the police what depriving them of the jobs and you know the financial security people who want to are equal and fair access to job opportunities. the u.n. security council has been more

part in the celebrations dedicated to the country's independence with a statement was made after mccrone and hariri had lunch joined by the prime minister's wife and eldest son the turmoil in lebanon is thought to have been on the agenda with harry's visit to france viewed as many as the first step out of the crisis where we differ a lot more from paris the lebanese prime minister's visit to france is another twist in a quite bizarre story of his resignation that he announced earlier this month in a televised address while in saudi arabia the country of mr hariri holds the second nationality of he then explained that the major reason behind this decision is that temps by iran saudi arabia's long term rival in the region to meddle into the lebanese internal as well as regional affairs immediately sparked speculation that mr hariri was held in saudi arabia against his will and that he was forced to resign and that was the opinion that was shared by many politicians including in lebanon including the country's president who said he cannot accept this resignation unless mr hariri comes back

protesters about what this protest was really about because it is all good at this thing that the way mccrone passed the law by executive order is an attack of democracy one that this is. where very angry because this law is not for employees they simply lose all of their rights. even micro months to liberalize to most and destroy all the security of workers he wants labor costs to be at a minimum and we are here to denounce this policy which is not in the interests of workers they also want to school measure the people here are hopeful that the fact that the code to divide and the fact that although my point has signed this and given his approval it still needs to be debated by the parliament here in france and they're hoping that by holding protests like this by showing how many people are unhappy and concerned about these changes that they might be able to get parliamentarians in france to change their mind. they is being accused of current people who try to help migrants cross borders story still to come. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves
