Hello youre watching artsy International ImRosanna Lockwood thank you for joining us. Now this weekend marks the one Year Anniversary of the yellow best movement with rallies taking place across france 147. 00 demonstrators were detained in the capsule alone on saturday and police have now cleared the square in paris where the main rally was taking place a journalist suffered facial injuries during the unrest in aunties eager start of who is there for us. It is not a war zone it is the french capital this is placid its ellie and initially the protests here the yellow vests protest here it was sanctioned it was it was authorized by the by the local government by the municipality but now you can clearly see that they have revoked that permission and the police they have been moving in trying to disperse the protest now as the police has lately become more aggressive theyve been using an extensive amount of tear gas they have been using flash bangs as well to disperse the crowds now for instance what im holding right now this is one of the canisters from from the tear gas launched by the police at the protesters its things like these there are hundreds of these gathered all over this square now some people have been injured and we saw at least 2 people with blood on their faces probably with busted noses some people have been passing out because of the sheer amount of tear gas in the air and the police now as you can see theyre using Water Cannons to disperse the crowd to disperse the protests it makes it really difficult to breathe so you can see all of the people with the breast paraders like these with masks like these because well they came prepared theyve been saying that their strength is a in numbers and b. In the fact that they dont have an organizing body so they can organize a sporadic protest in any parts of paris to which the police would have to eventually respond but this has been so far the most massive the most violent protest in paris to date now this is a symbolic of course this is a symbolic date. This is a symbolic day for the protesters because its the one Year Anniversary weekend so they are kind of celebrating in their own way and for them its its a message theyre sending a message that one year on the all of us movement is still here it hasnt gone anywhere and it does not intend to. Well the latest poll in france shows that a narrow majority 55 percent support the goals of the l. O. s movement although 63 percent do not want to see any further Mass Mobilization on the streets. He looks back at the 12 month standoff. 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 triumph are left defaced and its iconic streets smashed and looted it even left the most jaded well shocked. My corner it come to power with his own no idea of a french revolution it was one of reform him for i 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. Is big in the yellow verse means being in favor of higher salaries and the more Effective Parliament than i am yellow. But for many yellow vests those promises were empty a little in a at 1st mccrone didnt give away they were in the promises and that he backtracked there was a tax bonus but not to be company had the resources to offer it helsa promised 100 years extra for people a minimum wage but in the end we realized it was only for those on Social Security the anger continued to spill out onto 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 extremist. Its. Its the radicals who go out for violence its an adrenalin 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 and i think the government owes them money but instead of marching with us they hear the protesters whats the violence made a big impression on me 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 so scarred by the violence there was a police car we had been this huge protest of and the tropical fire inside it there the french policeman were very very close to use their weapons to get out there was also the other the 3 of there was a charge of Police Officer so there are there were exhausted and there were there was a counter from the money as a protest. 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 in persia problems meanwhile for latisha divel the struggle continues but shes also aware the weekly protests may have lost some of their initial impact so how will the universe movement adapt in the future to change the system she says you need to be inside it they said it was when i decided to join the local team because if we can find the problem from the outside we should do trim the inside i also invited the other yellow vest activists 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 village on the Yellow Vest Movement one thing is indisputable theyve had a profound effect on france 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. R. T. Paris. At least 7 people have been killed and Dozens Injured during a protest in bolivia and thats according to officials supporters of the ousted president ever moralists a military police opened fire on a crowd. Of. Thousands took to the streets in the central city is the latest tragedy brings the total death toll to 21 months since the political crisis erupted after oct selection a protester who was injured during the clashes described. Yesterday during a peaceful march we were trying to reach the city of cochabamba when we were stopped they told us to wait for 20 minutes before we could march to the city center and then they didnt let us through while we are waiting they started to launch tear gas at us and then the clashes began after that they fired bullets out at us as if we were dogs many people were killed.

To him. The morality and to his Party Movement to socialism i think the new government this out of proclaim with govt is trying to put the Indigenous People out of the political game because it is necessary to put evermore ollies out of the game and the Indigenous People acted by dis new government including by the army. Because Indigenous People of 40 percent of the county and this is a conservative forces which have organized the who did know that in order to give stability to dis new government they have to put the Indigenous People protest out of the streets they need to control Indigenous People they need to violate their rights in order to give i would create instability to the new government. A former Us Ambassador to ukraine whos a key witness in the trump impeachment inquiry has said she has no evidence that the president s engaged in criminal activity in ukraine marie event of each was question during the 2nd open impeachment hearing do you have any information regarding the president tonight is states accepting any groups. Now do you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all. Now. As caleb maupin now reports there could be some impeachment fatigue as audience numbers fly in comparison to earlier trump scandals. As impeachment inquiry hearings against donald trump continue on capitol hill the new star witness is marie yvonne 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 everywhere marie over no bitch when she started off in somalia how did that go then fast forward to ukraine with a new ukrainian president spoke on friday ripley 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 election 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 so 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 story day on capitol hill with the 1st public impeachment hearing of president tonight history on the hill as House Democrats 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 youve been a bitch have you ever heard of george cant. 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 here its its its a fluke easy yeah sure its fake you know i mean like 23 years since hes come into power if you like that one are you really going on the thing you have that this is a big colossal waste of time. 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 well legal and media analyst jennifer de muffs the says that the drop in interest actually comes in handy 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 what 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 the 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 roic 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 they 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. Well still ahead here on t. V. As the clock ticks with facebooks dominance on social media its both false lashes out of the competition. Join me every thursday on the elec so im unsure and ill be speaking to get us to the world of Politics School those lives im sure those lows. But i dont want to trade russia wants to trade trump wants to trade the enemies or trade our. Conflict in a war as they love war and this seems like the opposition parties in america are the only one. In the western mindset is in decline the us is in relative decline china is rising europe some people see it as rising other people see this as declining its. The sort of. Western culture will decline relative to eastern culture thats probably whats going to happen. I think anyone that says something will happen is pushing it a bit. Welcome back facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg has taken aim at chinese social media video sharing platform take talk whose rapid growth could soon overshadow his brainchild look a book betrayed the arrival is nothing less than a threat to democracy takes a look at what might be behind the animosity. Social media its a market like anything else with its own competition the difference is cocacola doesnt come out and say that pepsi is for nazis and b. M. W. Doesnt come out and called lets say these satan worshippers theyre a little more whats the word grown up facebook however says its competition is a threat to democracy went to the park to get to school knucklehead is of. Course. Dont ask me who are beyond this something to do. And i see 3 major threats i want to recently the internet almost every country outside of china has been defined by american platforms with strong Free Expression values but there is no guarantee that these values will went out a decade ago almost all of the major internet platforms were american today 6 of the top 10 are chinese. And were beginning to see this in social media 2 1st things 1st you know dads wondering how exactly a lip sinking app threatens the more crecy but just think about it a little longer. Another has changed it still doesnt make any sense so why would he say this. Now it does make sense facebook is eating dust in 2016 zuckerberg tried to buy musical daughter l. Y. The predecessor of take stock talks collapsed facebook walked away then the chinese borders and take stock exploded leaving facebook envious of the numbers that were being pulled in so as would any businessman zuckerberg smears it why are Services Like whats up are used by protesters and activists everywhere due to strong encryption privacy protections on tick tock the chinese are growing quickly around the world mentions of these same protests are censored even here in the u. S. Is that the internet that we want. First off Mr Zuckerberg protestors in hong kong a using telegram to coordinate which is a russian app just to have fire before you Say Something stupid again but serious accusations could it be could take talk really be censoring lip sinking in hong kong the Chinese Government does not request the ticktock tons of content and would not have jurisdiction regardless and stick stock does not operate there to be clear we do not remove videos based on the presence of hong kong process content in try to but you try to smear it so now zuckerberg trying to copy it yes facebook has launched a virtual kloden of take stock. Now that weve established whats what we can ask ourselves if theres any cause left the zuckerberg wont use to get his hands on more money i dont know if he knows i mean do you think he knows what it looks like to everyone outs the c. E. O. Of facebook complaining about censorship on Mr Zuckerberg i will say there are a great many. Americans who i think are deeply concerned that facebook and other Tech Companies are engaged in a pervasive pattern of bias and political censorship in may of 2016 gizmodo reported that facebook and purposely and routinely suppressed conservative stories from trending News Facebook that is purged itself of conservative voices banned the naming of a trump impeachment whistleblower that sold out its community to the highest bidder information that was used by dictators to clamp down on opposition and he tells us the chinese lip sinking op is a threat to democracy. Rights it has been put on the back burner in the u. K. With the snap general election set for next month now the focus is the 1st time the country will head to the polls in december since 1923 and with the seasonal chill taking grip theres concern the weather might impact the voting. Its about common sense and putting safety 1st look out for black ice look out for each other in times of low body temperatures if your friend is starting to look its maybe time to head home those. Few women add to the divorce living only to die hard men complaining during the evenings risks because a culture imported takes when men build professional relationships with one another and women are left at d the impact a few hours of daylight may seem like a minor concern but the news comes at a time when the political discourse who wants women is already talked.
