The yellow jackets protest the excessive violence directed by the police

For the twelfth row in a row, thousands of demonstrators from the yellow jackets went to the streets across France, where many protested the injuries suffered by protesters in previous clashes with police.

The demonstrators returned from the "yellow jackets" again to the street in France for the twelfth row in a row, and marched in a demonstration in the capital they wanted to protest against the violence of the police. The "Great Wounded March" took place in Paris two and a half months after the start of this unprecedented move against the social and tax policies of the government. The demonstrators condemned the police's use of flashing balls, which they said caused many of them seriously injured.

Demonstrators marched in Paris to the Republic Square behind a banner calling for a halt to the use of flashing balls, amounting to 13,800 according to a census by the office "Okorance" for a group of media, including AFP. In contrast, police said the number of demonstrators was 10,500 and that 10 people were arrested in the afternoon.

The Ministry of Interior said that the number of demonstrators in all French territory was 17,400 compared to 22 thousand last week at the same hour. The well-known activist in the "yellow shirt" Jerome Rodrige was applauded and welcomed by the demonstrators, especially as he was injured on his right eye last Saturday.

In the crowd, some protesters appeared wearing bandages in solidarity with those seriously injured by these non-metallic rubber balls. The group of activists "to disarm them" said that 20 people were seriously injured in the eye since 17 November. The police department is conducting 116 investigations, 10 of them seriously in Al Ain, according to a police source.

The State Council, the highest administrative judiciary body, allowed Friday to continue using flashing balls, saying that the risk of violence during demonstrations makes it "necessary to allow the security forces to resort to this type of bullets." "He said.

In the face of controversy, French Interior Minister Christoph Castaner admitted that the weapon could "injure" and promised to punish "abuses", but defended its use to "confront the troublemakers." "If shops were not looted, barricades, cars burned, and public buildings destroyed ... if the law were respected, there would be no injuries," Christoph Castaner said.

The government is following closely the scale of the protests after it announced 10 billion euros in aid and organized a major national debate to calm the anger. According to the Interior Ministry, 69 thousand protesters participated last Saturday in the demonstrations and 84 thousand the previous Saturday.

The 20th round of the German championship is dedicated to the Bayern retreat

The 20th stage of the Bundesliga added a dose of suspense within the competition for the Bundesliga title. In the wake of Bayern Munich's setback and Borussia Dortmund's defeat, Monchengladbach managed to regain the runner-up.

Bayern Munich's chance to defend their Bundesliga title has not dwindled seven points behind Borussia Dortmund, but the Bavarian have lost the Bundesliga table to Borussia Moenchengladbach.

This came as a result of a severe defeat at Bayer Leverkusen 3-1, followed by coach Niko Kovac responsible for the players "retarded."

In contrast to Bayern, Gladbach was the biggest winner in the 20th stage of the Bundesliga, beating Schalke 04 2-0. Dortmund had only one point to draw at home to Antrecht Frankfurt.

Bayern are now in need of a great miracle, in which Dortmund's strong side collapses, which is unlikely, according to current data, even if the yellow and black team had two fateful matches against Bayern and Gladbach.

Dortmund missed the opportunity

However, Bavarian coach Nico Kovac insists his team still believes in the title. "The only positive thing is that Dortmund has not scored his three points," Kovac told Sky television. "Now the difference has widened to seven points, it is not the small difference, we have to achieve the best possible results in the last 14 games, which is not easy, we will not give up."

In fact, Dortmund missed a precious opportunity to raise the gap to nine full points. Dortmund coach Lucien Favre had to concede: "We certainly wanted to win and we have to deal with the draw."

Borussia goalkeeper Roman Borki said that Bayern's loss of some solace to his team, but stressed "we are not satisfied with what happened."

Gladbach with a shy ambition

Despite his second place in the standings, Gladbach still considers himself out of the list of candidates for the title, although the defense line and the offensive offer a great journey until the moment.

"We are certainly not wrong not to consider ourselves a rival to Dortmund," said midfielder Christoph Kramer of midfielder Gladbach. "We know that Dortmund and Bayern are superior to us, although it looks different on the table."

Indeed, the team is showing up differently this season, with impressive results at home, winning all nine matches at Borussia Park and waiting for Bayern and Dortmund on the same pitch.

Venezuela under the eyes of Trump

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the use of military force in Venezuela was one of the options.

Asked about what might make him use force in Venezuela, Trump said in an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation" program that he did not want to say that. "But it's certainly one of the options."

Since January 23, Venezuela has been experiencing a political crisis following the announcement by the opposition speaker Juan Javaido as "interim president" of the country and the announcement by President Nicolas Maduro of severing his country's diplomatic relations with the United States.

Will the Egyptian parliament surprise Egyptians with new isolation?

The Cairo Court of Justice is considering a lawsuit filed by the official Middle East News Agency (MENA) that a number of citizens have set up to oblige the Speaker of the House of Representatives to lift the restriction on the number of presidential terms.

Prosecutors say Article 140 of the constitution is unfair to the Egyptian people and that eight years does not give the president time to overcome the economic and security challenges facing the country.

Since the re-election of Sisi in March, there have been speculation about attempts to amend the constitution to allow him to re-run in 2022.

The current constitution was passed in 2014 after the army overthrew former President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in the wake of mass protests against his rule in 2013

He expected the amendments to take months, and then President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi calls on voters for a referendum.

The Maduro system began to fall

A Venezuelan air force general has declared that he no longer recognizes the "dictatorial" power of President Nicolas Maduro and supports Juan Guadillo, who has declared himself acting president, at a time when pro-war demonstrations have been raging for 10 days.

A senior Venezuelan general called on the armed forces to rebel against President Nicolas Maduro and to recognize opposition leader Juan Guido as interim president of the country as pressure grew at home and abroad for Maduro to step down. In a video shot on Saturday (February 2, 2019) on Twitter, Major General Francisco Yanase, a member of the Air Force High Command, said most of the armed forces had already abandoned Maduro, who is said to be the victim of a US-led coup.

"The people of Venezuela, 90 percent of the armed forces do not support the dictator, they support the people of Venezuela," Janez said in the section. "Given the events of the past hours, the transition to democracy is already imminent." . I accused the top command of betrayal on its Twitter account.

Janez is the first Venezuelan general in service to recognize Guaydou since he declared himself president on January 23.

The publication coincided with Venezuelan opposition supporters starting protests across the country on Saturday to keep pressure on Maduro after Washington recognized Guido as a legitimate president and imposed sanctions likely to further weaken the struggling oil sector in the OPEC member country.

Maduro's critics also hope to encourage European countries to do the same. Some EU member states are expected to officially recognize Guaydou this week and others are likely to take a more conservative supportive stance.
"We will send a very clear message from all regions of Venezuela and to every city in the world," Guido said in a video message posted on Twitter on Saturday. "We will hold a protest to show power in an organized and peaceful manner."

Meanwhile, thousands of Venezuelans began to demonstrate in the capital Caracas to demand that Maduro step down for Guido and rally opposition supporters who wore Venezuelan flags at five points east of the capital and started walking toward the EU representative's residence in Las Mercedes.

Demonstrations in support of Maduro were also launched and the 20th anniversary of the inauguration of the late communist leader Hugo Chavez was also celebrated for the first time in 1999
