All right so let’s start with the big story that we are tracking on beond at this hour is the second day of protests continue farmers in France are blocking some strategic routes around Paris they are determin to Showcase their resilience if the new measures that are going to be unveiled by the government

Disappoint them the French farmers were seen dumping tires outside of the administrative and Tax Center in Laval in Northwest France now the government is due to make some announcements regarding the legislation later in the day today On the European level we expect announcements especially concerning free trade agreements which for us are a real cancer I’m not scared of using that word today that’s what is causing a big part of our heart ships with our future we cannot move forwards today saying we’re

Going to import meat from Chile or New Zealand which don’t comply to our Norms that’s just unfair competition that’s unacceptable the crowds of farmers were in fact seen huddling together around small fires in the Parisian harway that have been blocked by tractors the long lines of tractors were seen

Blocking highways near the capital and also around the country since Monday this is furious Farmers attempted to exert additional pressure on the French government to assist them in dealing with inflation competing with lowcost Imports and also basically to make a livelihood now the demonstrations have come in response to similar actions in

Other European nation such as for instance in Germany and Poland and the runoff to the June elections for the European Parliament the elections are expected to see some advances of the extreme right of which farmers are considered a major base all right now to give us more

Updates in terms of what is unfolding at this moment in France we’re being joined in by our correspondent Ross Cullen who’s joining us live from Paris Ross bring us up to speed with what is happening with respect to the farmers protest and why is it that the French farmers are out on the

Streets the latest that we have is that the farmers in the south of the country are trying to block a too airports now that’s one of the so-called red lines for the government the government has said that blocking airports would not be allowed the law enforcement will be

There to try to stop that protest you have to allow airports to operate normally they’ve also said the government that it will be a red line to try to blockade ranis market now this is the world’s largest wholesale Food Markets it is in the Southeastern Paris

Suburbs and this morning one of the main Farmers unions rural coordination have said that they are going to try to get as close as possible to Paris they are on route to runi Market however they have said if the government provides direct and Rapid responses then we are

Ready to turn around and go back home the pressure then very much on the government and we are expecting a scheduled speech from the Prime Minister Gabrielle LEL this afternoon call time it’s called a general policy declaration and it was already taking place before these protests began but as a result of

The ongoing Farmers demonstrations uh we do expect that Gabriel atal will be focusing heavily on the agriculture sector and the government have said that during Tuesday there will be new measures announced French farmers are angry over a range of issues from red tape and high production costs to low

Salaries cheap Imports taxes on agricultural fuel also a feeling that Rural Life is being left behind and forgotten about by central government price pressures from retailers and also the impact on their sector of the environmental transition and climate change policies right interesting now um Ross the fact is it’s not just in France

But also in other European nations that we’ witnessed the farmers take to the streets in protest such as this for instance in neighboring Germany and also in Poland and a lot of people say that it is in fact the EU policies which which has made life that much more

Harder for the farmers in many countries of Europe what’s actually happening with respect to these EU policies and why is it that the farmers are so angry with some of these policies well the EU is holding its latest council meeting on Thursday when Prime Ministers presidents and chancellors from across the 27 Nation

Block will get together and we do know already that Emanuel macron has said he will be scheduling time with Ursula Von delion the president of the European commission to speak specifically about French and more broadly European Union agricultural policies to try to understand some of those issues we have

Seen demonstrations in Belgium Germany Poland as well Farmers along the same lines of the anger that is being shown in France in terms of the issues that they are angry about and if there can be real measures uh coming into Force at the European Union level to try to

Support those Farmers going through we already know that the French government has brought in measures last Friday to try to uh accept some of the demands from Farmers but they say that that doesn’t go far enough they need more assurances more measures put in place by the French government and they will say

They will be continuing their protests until all of their demands are met all right we have to leave there thank you very much indeed Ross cull for joining us and getting us those details there Von is now available in your country download the app now and get all the news on the move
