  1. This reporter gave a pretty good resume of the situation here in France tho he forgot to mention the massive police and judicial repression against the gilets jaunes : thousands of wounded GJs because of flashball and various grenades use (20 GJs even lost definitively one of their eyes), + thousands of police detentions and prison sentences !

  2. France recalls its ambassador to Italy for beacause italian Deputy Prime Minister met one of the Yellow Vest Leaders.
    Macron said it's a deliberated act of interference.
    Maybe the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy should have asked for permission to France to meet him 🙄

  3. All the things they want mean spending more money…How can they spend more and tax less the figures dont add up (same as evvery other country)

  4. 12th week protest now. Severe protest injuries due to police brutality violence. 1.) Fireman wearing yellow vest went into coma getting shot in the head with a rubber bullet.
    2.) Over 17 people lost a eye getting shot in the face by a rubber bullet RT News.
    3.) 4 people lost a hand RT News.
    4.) Multiple people got fractured jaws from getting shot in the face by rubber bullets
    5.) A few people got shot in the genitals by rubber bullets
    6.) Many more head injuries getting shot in the head, and other injuries related to police violence and police brutality assaults/beatings.
    Over 100 investigations have started into the use of rubber bullets by police, and they might ban the use of rubber bullets. Though they should all be arrested, i can't believe they can get away with shooting their own people in the face with rubber bullets. Shame on the police.

  5. It sounds like the four main topics created for the Town Hall debates, where deliberately chosen to avoid any serious debates or arguments on the things that are truly harming and affecting the people's day to day lives.

  6. the tactic only a government can use is attrition, against the public who want to be listened to, much like the american government it like france has no problem throwing the police at the public, what is disappointing in both countries is the police following what they know is against both the constitutions and laws of both nations- police like the military are a disposable byproduct to any government.. obey and never ask why is the words from a dictatorship not an elected official..

  7. That's how it ends – property investments to benefit a few so-called investors drew costs of living to the point where even high salaries of western countries are NOT sufficient. We need that in Europe. France has once already exported its revolution – Maybe it will happen again? Life in many cities of Western Europe is already on the verge of being impossible – just like here in London. Noone should allow for this to continue.

  8. Gilets Jaunes (The Yellow Vests) have an official manifesto – Fuel tax is on the manifesto list but FREXIT is near the top of the Yellow Vest manifesto list along with leaving NATO – Why are MSM not mentioning this – UK Govt D-Notice (Media Blackout) has been served. RIC – Referendum Initiated By The Citizens = People Power

  9. Macron looked like a bloke who did not need any people. Real elite who despised ordinary tax payers.. Now he looks like a Micron.
    Young man, who is "the far right"? Why such labels?

  10. So what is real because there must be like 50000000 more wanna be TV shows, wheres global, wheres something credible? Neeeed to know people neeeed to know, dusting off shoulders

  11. Things will go south when the police shoot a protester
    Thats when Macron and his thieves will feel the full wrath of the French people.
    And this will start a domino effect through out Europe.

  12. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! RT 12th WEEK YELLOW VEST PROTEST HAVE STOPPED COMMENTS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK . WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION! WOULD LIKE TO SEE FAIR COVERAGE FOR COMMON PEOPLE DONE IN ENGLISH WITHOUT LEFT GLOBALISM LEAN! WANT TO SEE ENGLISH INDEPENDENT START LIVE COVERAGE STARTING ON WEEK 13! IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

  13. 16 death people, 4 people lost their hands, 17 people lost their eyes in the yellow vest protests against the " liberal " Macron until now. Not a single word against the French Government in the main stream media. Now imagine there were 16 death people in the protests against non Western ( non " liberal " ) Government . All the main stream media would scream 24 / 7 whole year calling the Authorities cold-blooded murderers.

  14. And in the meantime, France has bowed to the US and supports the usurper Guaido in Venezuela, along with so many other European countries and Canada. This does not augur well.

  15. This guy is spreading misinformation .
    Great expert real news . Middle of the road repeater of whatever he hears. I could have given a better interview . Jeez

  16. I do not recognize Macron as French president I do recognize Marie Lepen as French president. I think trump should say that also if he can do for Venezuela why not for France.

  17. According to the French Police Union, there were 290'000 demonstrators throughout France on February 2! The government had deployed 80'000 police and then announced there's been 17'000 demonstrators overall…. Macron is in panic! I live in France, and my estimate is that there are at least half a million people in the streets every Saturday. Also, according to polls, the movement continues to be supported by a large majority of people (around 70%).

  18. The Yellow Vests are fighting for justice within the capitalist system, which is an oxymoron and will never happen. At best they will get 1 or 2 issues resolved, but will continue to live in a society with an economic structure that is designed to take what's left of the capital from the poor and give it to the rich. This wil never change, unless we change the system.

    We don't have to abandon capitalism, but we need to change it. The solution is to remodel a country's labor force to Worker-Coops. This keeps the capital and power with the workers and their communities, not with a single rich guy on top. – Coop employees hire their CEO, and vote each year whether he can keep his job or not. They vote what direction the company should go, what to do with the product and most important: How to spend the profits. That is how the world should work: Power to the people, not the few.

  19. this is the stuff people we have to make this global !!! and if politicians die so be it !!!! we must take our countries back from corruption and globalists

  20. Interestingly we don't see these French riots in our news media and reports often, but lot's of reports on the chaos and protest in Venezuela. Thank God we still have some hardworking individuals who are willing to share with the world the truth!

  21. Whats with the orange band gang is this the beginning of the eu military force. This is fake there are accually 100's of thousands of people.
    Want facts ask the French.

  22. To all you yellow vestors, be safe God bless you all especially fighting for your RIGHTS as citizens for your country, I just wanna day, the America the DUMP speaks of is only his idiotic followers and not the whole USA. JJST BE SAFE. AND TO YOUR PRESIDENT, DOMT EVER UNDER- ESTIMATE YTHE PEOPLE OF FRANCE, THEY WILL REMOVE ALL OF YOU, YOY WORK FOR THE PEOPLE, NOT YOUR OWN PERSONAL GAI S. LIARS, OR SHOULD I SAY PINOCCHIOS. GET REAL. INCLUDE THE PEOPLE LIVING THE CRISIS, NOT THOSE SITTING BEHIND THE DESK.
