news, a line from berlin, protests taking place across france against a controversial law that would restrict sharing images of police. critics say the proposed legislation, undiscovered and unpunished. it comes just days after french officers beat up a black music producer and his studio. we'll go live to our correspondent in paris, also coming up. heavy shelling, rocks, capital, ethiopian troops closing on the calendar. as the nation begin, what the government calls its final offensive against the region. it comes after

weeks of conflict, tens of thousands of refugees without basic sanitation and with little food. and iran's president rouhani blames israel for the assassination of a top nuclear scientists and revenge western intelligence officials called the mastermind behind a clandestine bomb making program. i'm glad to have you with us. protests are taking place in france against a proposed security bill that contains provisions that rights groups say restrict media freedom. demonstrators have gathered at the class, the republic in the french capital, paris, calling for an article in the bill to withdraw. the article bans the publication of

photographs of police officers that harm their quote, physical or psychological integrity. opposition to the bill has grown since video footage emerged this week of paris police officers assaulting a black man. it is a disturbing video. 3 french police officers beating up a black man for 5 minutes in his own music studio. but the police officers don't know the shells. the clay has a security camera in the lobby. the entire scene is caught on film in a killer. yes, it is sad to say it, but my client was lucky to have a video to report these acts which may be isolated, but still happy to exist. otherwise my client would have been detained without even when it's his word against the officers. we know very well that it's the words of the officers that carry more weight a pattern that in this really played out in the case of michelle's likely,

he was arrested and detained for 48 hours until the security footage showed up the 3. police officers only left the building after musicians from the basement, heard the noise and rushed to help. but even then, it wasn't over another officer through tear gas into the lobby, forcing the clay to go outside. the clay needed hospital treatment for his wounds, but the physical violence was only part of the assault. use the n word repeatedly. they looked me in the eyes and punched me. this case of police brutality has shocked the country. it's clear, the officers also lied about the incident, and there are reports they claim the music producer attempted to grab their weapons and that he resisted. the interior minister addressed the issue on french television. i have asked for the police officers to be suspended as soon

as we have all the facts, he says, the moment the judiciary is investigating, i will order their dismissal. they have put a stain on the uniform of the republic. we shall see. clearly filed charges against the police officers. now the district attorney is investigating the officers for use of force and duty and false testimony. lisa lewis joins me on the phone from the demonstration at plas, the public in paris. lisa, you've talked to people demonstrating once the general mood where you are. well as a lot of people have come here to say the biggest prize, you know, and the people calling my call is to you. people have been telling me that they're reading, writing about the security or specially and after what happened this week. again, people in the protected from police and they are saying that they want them and

they can turn out that they're still there and that they need to be protected. all those old books hoping that that right here. you know, i don't think that can actually result in a lot of violence that quite scared of that. by the end of the demo, you know that the protest is not just about michelle's eclair score, said the victim of the police violence, but also about a new draft law. what can you tell us about that policy that you are so low on global security, of course, and there's a passenger hold on article saying that you're not no longer allowed to procrustes pictures of the police police if you have the attention to them. now i want to say for us and them again that not every journalist but also people other, you know, civilian population in general because they're saying combing what's happening when you get arrested by the police and controlled by the police is our only way to

defend us and even parliamentarians, even the own friends of them, or call them on a call for president's policy, has been cutting me that they are frightened, that they're saying that the government is doing things to further to the right on the civil liberties. and the presumption of innocence, the preventive, protective affront. we only have about 30 seconds lisa here, but did there have been similar cases of police violence against black people before? what makes this case so special? it's the context really there have been $0.10, but that was not when the government was actually talking about better protecting the police at the same time and they feel the government is probably think of a place at the population needs to be protected and says, this makes it so urgent for many people to turn out. not only because you can produce a video, but also because of other footage that was put, put online only of the frequent police evacuate the micro property,

middle of paris. many people say it's here in the country that people use effective protect against fully lisa lewis in paris right in the middle of those protests. thank you so much. in ethiopia, the leader of tikrit region forces says ethiopian government troops have begun an offensive to capture the regional capital mccalla, he told reuters news agency the city was under heavy bombardment. it comes a day after ethiopia's prime minister warned he would soon launch a final phase of military operations. 3 weeks of fighting between the government and regional forces have had a devastating impact on civilians. tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes, many flee to sudan, where they end up in camps that lack even the most basic facilities. on friday, the u.n. said that the 1st of 4 humanitarian airlift for refugees at landed in the sudanese capital khartoum. i'm joined by samuel, get a true,

a journalist in addis ababa capital of ethiopia. samuel, it's nice to have you with us. what can you tell us about government forces efforts to capture the regional capital, mccalla forces telling us the troops are there for the last 3 decades is not giving up easily forces. the government feels like this is within reach a few days telling us it's getting very close, but people are just dying if that night. and that's where we are as you no doubt or where a spokeswoman for prime minister ahmed has given assurances that civilian targets

in mckellar would not be bombed. how realistic is that? i mean, i don't know of any conflicts during my own time and even great as far as a century ago, reading books where there has been conflicts that hasn't really affected ordinary people. who are the most innocent people in the poorest among us? in this conflict will be annoyed. exception. you know, we've been hearing of eritrean troops coming in and looting different properties and houses from the left side. the government is telling us this is just an internal issues. i like to believe that's the way it is. it's going. but this is going to be, i think, think thousands of people, and it's going to be, you'll be hearing lots of stories when this is done it over. you say it's going to affect thousands of people and you're just referring to that specific region. but

what does this offensive mean for the entire region? you know, there are those that disagree with me, but i've been saying from day one, what ever happens in ethiopia? you know, it's a huge country with more than 110000000 people, what they regard as if you will likely affect neighboring countries. neighboring countries are sort of now the people that are in sudan at 43000, estimated by that you have a least under estimated because there are many people that haven't been counted thousands of people. so that's the sudan. so when you move to the south sudan, it's a country that has known conflicts from day one since this independence in 2011, it will likely affect south sudan. when this is done, you know, when you have this many refused, you don't expect them to see in the sudan, they're coming to europe. there's probably, there's going to be a migration coming to europe and that the european leaders leaders. that's why they

need to take it seriously. samuel get issue with his eyes on an evolving story there in ethiopia. much thanks for your perspective. thank you. might iran's leaders have reacted defiantly to their killing of a leading nuclear scientist, president haas and rouhani blamed israel for the assassination of moxon. frankie's a day, the man suspected of masterminding, a secret nuclear weapons program. iran's supreme leader ali khamenei has urged punishment for the perpetrators israeli embassies around the world have increased their alertness level. germany has called on all sides to show restraint and avoid escalating tensions that could derail talks with iran on nuclear issues. but a group of hardliners in tehran venting their anger at the assassination of the country's top nuclear scientist mohsin factories a day. they hold the u.s.
