Run the clock across the world this is our international from the team myself and you know neal a low and welcome our Top Story Police used tear gas to Disperse Protesters in. Braces for a tense weekend saturday marks the one Year Anniversary of the Yellow Vests Movement and rallies are expected right across the country 33 demonstrators have been arrested we believe in the french capital so far are. In the thick of the action in paris for us. Well this weekend the Yellow Vests Movement is marking its one Year Anniversary so people here theyre trying to take a stand but as you can clearly see theres not much success in it because the riot police who we are running along right now so you have to excuse me if im a little bit out of breath because weve been doing it for for quite a long time there has been tear gas we have already seen tear gas there have been people arrested essentially the protests are trying to take a stand here but the police who are over there theyre not allowing them to stand in one place for instance they have been trying to block roads here in paris in central paris but the riot police over there are not allowing them to do so paris has done all that it can to prevent Mass Violence in the old to prevent mass rioting but i mean look over there people are defying this their lives really making a stand saying that a year on their movement the Yellow Vests Movement is still go in. But what to the wider public think of this well according to the latest poll more than half of those surveyed still support the yellow face while 63 percent say they dont want the rallies to begin in earnest again charlotta been skee. 12 months of protest. France once revolutionary now a catalyst for a few years populist movements a country where protest is in the blood and over the last year a nation defenseless against the yellow vests paris landmarks of troy and for left defaced and its iconic streets smashed and looted it even left the most jaded well shocked. Makower it come to power with his own no idea of a french revolution it was one of reform he would not to fall on his sword as others before him by not giving in to protest movements but even he was forced into a treat the planned carbon tax hike was abandoned he opened a state purse to boost low income households back or even he said he was there Kindred Spirit its been the yellow versus leans been in favor of higher salaries and the more Effective Parliament than i am. But for many yellow vests those promises were empty a little in a at 1st mccrone didnt the way they were and the promises and that he backtracked there was a tax bonus but not to be company had the resources to offer it he also promised 100 years extra for people a minimum wage but in the end we realised it was only for those on social security. The anger continued to spill out on to the streets while some yellow vests were caught up in the violence for the most part to protest his argue their movement had been infiltrated by extremists. Its the radicals who go out for violence its an adrenaline kick for them it makes them feel good i suppose but there are also people who become violent because they are being attacked by tear gas and police battens so discouraged theyve tried to discredit the movement by showing images of burning trash cans and cars and also to make sure that the rest of the population dont join the movement the police dont understand anything the government owes them money but instead of marginal with us they kill the protesters was given the violence made a big impression on me and the police against our guys ive been to every protest in paris and i saw things i should never have seen people were hit in the back. For the forces of peace and order they too have been left scarred by the violence there was a police car we had been this huge protest of and the type of fire inside it there the french policeman were very very close to use their weapons to get out there was also the other 3 off there was a charge of Police Officer so there are there were exhausted and there were there was a counterattack from the money as a protester. We almost lost one member. And according to this police union the problems were compounded from the very top. It was a mess. It was a mess. We had but. We had but did our ship that was nor the other factor. But leadership implies a problem please meanwhile for latisha divel the struggle continues but shes also aware the weekly protests may have lost someone very National Impact so how will the Yellow Vests Movement adapt in the future to change the system she says you need to be inside it that it was when i decided to join the local team because if we can find the problem from the outside we should do it from the inside i also invited the other yellow vest activist with similar views to do the same if they become a counsellor or a deputy they will be inside the system and we built to change it. What ever your view on the Yellow Vests Movement one thing is indisputable theyve had a profound effect on fronts over the last year now could be a Pivotal Moment to see if they will continue to burn a torch under the Current Administration this weekend we may find out so lets even ski otty paris 5 people have been killed and Dozens Injured during a protest in bolivia according to medics there supporters of ousted president evo claim Security Forces opened fire on a demonstration with live roads.

Still ahead this saturday on r t the clock ticks for facebooks dominance on social media its ball slushes the competition. China wants to trade russia wants to trade trump wants to trade the enemies of our conflict in a war as they love war and this seems like the opposition parties in america are. Joining me every day on the i like simon chill and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im show business ill see if. The west in the western mindset is in decline the us is in relative decline china is rising europe some people see it is rising other people see it is declining its likely that the sort of western mindset and western culture will decline relative to eastern culture thats probably whats going to happen although you. Know i think anyone that says that something will or wont happen is pushing it a bit. Welcome back to the program a former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine whos a key witness in the trump impeachment inquiry said she had no evidence that the president engaged in criminal activity in ukraine. Was questioned during the 2nd open impeachment hearing. Do you have any information regarding the president and i did state accepting any. Now you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with. Now. Killam open explains no there could be some impeachment fatigue as audience numbers fly again in comparison to earlier. As impeachment inquiry hearings against donald trump continue on capitol hill the new star witness is marine given of it and she is a former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine who was removed from her post 6 months ago now donald trump definitely does not hold her in high esteem thats what he actually tweeted during her testimony every whim or even though of age when turned bad she started off in somalia how did that go then fast forward to ukraine with a new ukrainian president spoke on favorably about her in my 2nd phone call with him it is a u. S. President s absolute right to appoint ambassador has now she testified that she was not part of the biden family scandal regarding natural gas in ukraine and furthermore she was not part of any effort to leak information from ukraine during the 2016 alexion furthermore she testifies that donald trump is intimidating her and that hes responsible for all the wrongdoing and so is what amir putin well i mean president putin must have been aware that there were concerns in the u. S. About russian meddling in the 2016 elections and what the potential was for russian meddling in the future. You know classic for an Intelligence Officer to try to throw off the scent and you know create an alternative narrative that maybe might get picked up and get some credence yes fitting in the name of the russian president is what you do if you want to catch a headline and the media is keeping up the hype the calm before the impeachment storm washington is bracing for a blockbuster day washington on edge all day for this 2nd day of impeachment hearings it was a storied day on capitol hill with the 1st public impeachment hearing of president trying to hide history of the hill his house democrat. To make their case against president an attempt to remove the president of the United States from office now you would think that that would be front Headline News but is the u. S. Public really interested not too much 13000000 americans watched the 1st round of testimony according to the nielsen ratings now thats one in 20 certainly sounds like a lot but compare that to when former f. B. I. Director James Coleman got up to testify about how he was fired by donald trump 20000000 americans watch that thats roughly the same number as tuned in when Brett Kavanaugh was being confirmed as a Supreme Court justice amid Sexual Assault allegations you would expect americans to be glued to their t. V. Screens now there is an actual impeachment inquiry open after all articles of impeachment could be drawn up the senate could be faced with the choice of whether or not to convene an impeachment trial and the stakes are significantly higher but the American Public seems far less interested i wonder how Many Americans know or even care about the key witnesses you never heard of the master you gonna bitch you know have you ever heard of george kant. Are you watching the trumpet pietschmann inquiry hearings on t. V. Does it interest you at all. Why do you think you are americans are trying to watch the speech its its its a fluke easy yeah sure its fake i mean like 23 years since hes come into power if you like this one are you really going on the thing you have. This is a big colossal waste of time experience in which the bread here it was more so like you know sensitive to the public and this one is just everybodys either this or theyre so yes it seems that the donald trump is a bad guy show has been airing from capitol hill for a few seasons already but americans are now yawning and saying havent we seen this episode before. Artsy new york. Media analyst jennifer to muster a say the drop in interest actually comes in one day for us democrats. The American Public i think the public in general is getting bored with some of the narratives that have been pushed against donald trump have been shown to either be completely false or unfounded in facts but there are some important things that have come out one of those i think is that is the fact that well watch for one thing she didnt have any firsthand knowledge of what this is about and she wasnt even in her post for several months and so the fact that she was there was just to showcase her as somebody who could say things that would maybe paint on a trumpet a light i think a lot of this has really been planned i mean after you know these hearings started out with 45 minutes of the democrats of adam schiff and the democratic attorney being able to question her now again when we hear these questions what is this is just praising her and talking about her heroic life story and her parents after that theyre supposed to be there is theoretically generally a 5 minute recess or a break which turned into 3040 minutes and even if you were as it were turned in at the outset would have just tuned our become bored with that and but what the democrats in the house have done is completely turn it on turn it on its head they think the public is dumb they think the American People are dumb and so they just keep saying these things theyre making up their own elements of legal facts that are absolutely already solidified within the american justice system. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg taken a chinese social media video sharing platform to talk it was rough but growth could soon overshadow his brain child to trade the rival is nothing less than a threat to democracy right goes the of takes a look at what might be behind the of the most of the.
