this is deja vu news of live from berlin. protests erupt across france over a new security bill violence flares in paris. protesters say plans to restrict the publication of images showing police officers on duty would allow brutality by authorities to go unpunished or hear from our correspondent in the french capital. also coming up. as he claims victory in its conflict with the northern t gravy train, reports of rocket strikes in neighboring syria trio, suggested green forces may be down, but not out. and the opposition and believe use accuse hardline leader alexander

lukashenko of jailing doctors who could be treating coronavirus patients. many medical workers have joined the protests calling for him to step down. michael, to have you with us. authorities have clashed with protesters in the french capital, paris, over a new security bill that would restrict the right to publish images of police officers. the issue came into focus after footage emerged of police beating up and racially abusing a black music producer. opponents say the law would prevent such images becoming public and could cover up official misconduct. police and demonstrators class violently as night falls and the capital journalists and

participants document the events publish videos and images. and some might call this a fitting end to a day of protest for freedom of expression and against a new security bill. this would make it a crime to publish a photo or video off the face or any identifying element of a police officer with the intent to cost harm. i can, the protest began peacefully, media organizations, ensuring rights groups organized marches across the country. tens of thousands gathered in paris alone. it was added to the already rules which provide for the protection of officials, including police officers when they're on duty. and that's entirely legitimate, as the police do a very important job for, but that's not what we're talking about here. it's about wanting to limit the ability of citizens, including journalists to report to police violence,

reshuffled the government says it wants to protect the police from public abuse. but opponents say the new bill as a drift towards repressive government was good on their own candidate who created a bill that would forbid us from filming at a time when we are filming unbelievable things. it's. so here i am in the streets free for my freedom as you can see, written on my mask of weakness. and when i ask if i normally more concern for me, a law like this is not normal. if this law passes, it would mean that people like the poor guy from the video. i mean, if it hadn't been filmed, he'd be in jail. would you make this a break? if you made this video, galvanized the opposition 3 police officers in paris beat up a black man, a music producer in his own studio, unaware they were being recorded at the victim was detained until footage from the security camera was published. protesters started fires in paris. the interior

ministry says $37.00 police officers were injured in demonstrations nationwide and the new security bill has already passed the lower house of the french parliament and is now before the senate. standing by for more is our correspondent lisa lewis. lisa, i'm curious about the rationale behind the law. have there been recent instances of so-called, public abuse of police officers where they are regular attacks against police officers, according to the police, at the number of police officers on duty and injured has doubled, almost doubled in 15 years to reach about 742019 in the past. they've also been terror attacks against police officers, not easy. everybody here understands that police officers who are protecting the

country obviously, also need to be protected. but the big question here is that actually a balanced approach, or would it limit too much the freedom of the press or the right of people of the people to fill in when there is police abuse? many here say that that balance is not being struck by that, you know. so what exactly lawmakers hoping to achieve with this new law? well, they're hoping to achieve too, to protect the police from, you know, being targeted by radicalized individuals by people who want to physically or psychologically attack the police. and they think that that new rule will protect them against that. but as i said, many people here feel that the balance is not really there. and also that there are already rules in place that protect the private life of police officers. one rule says that, you know, if you infringe on that right to, you know,

protection of the private life you have to, you might have to go to jail for one year and pay 45000 years as a fine. so many people here feel that that's enough protection for the police. so our piece or touched on why there is opposition to this bill. tell us more about who specifically finds this bill troubling and why? well, many people in general in france find this bill troubling because they feel that if they are being controlled by the police, they can no longer for more broadcast, see these images. and that might actually mean that they're not protecting against any police abuse, but also journalists are speaking out and saying, you know, if we are not allowed to broadcast images, that could also lead to the police, then preventing us from filming. and obviously there also, there's also a patient, the position within the government's own ranks. lawmakers from the government party . i've talked to told me that they really fear that this law would mean the

political line of the government is shifting too much towards the right. so there is a position, a position in many places here, amongst many people here in france, in paris for us. thanks for that. lisa. a new wave of rocket attacks launch from ethiopia's, northern tigray region has targeted the capital of neighboring iraq tria, there have been reports of multiple explosions in the city. this came just hours after ethiopia's military declared victory in its military campaign against to graze ruling party. the 2 great people's liberation front admitted previous rocket attacks on the rich area, accusing it of sending troops to support ethiopian forces. ethiopian troops have been closing in on to gries regional capital since forces that ignored an ultimatum to surrender on wednesday. they say they've seized control of all key installations, including the airport and to free to thousands of troops, allegedly,

being held hostage by to cry in forces. the ethiopian army says its main aim now is to track down any last holdouts to fully controlling mechel, a city. our army is hunting and going after and searching for the elements opposed to peace that are hiding in holes and pits. would it with all your goods there? but despite the ethiopian army's declaration of victory to go in for says said the conflict is not yet over, they told reuters news agency that they would continue their fight from areas not yet under government control. some analysts believe they could also be planning to conduct a guerrilla war from the mountain and the fate of civilians is also causing concern . tens of thousands have fled to neighboring sadanand are very

uncomfortable being in exile and many of them, as i've said many times already are, have left behind everything. the relatives their work. most of them are farmers and it is the harvest time and they cannot do it. so if the major source of livelihood is lost, another source of anguish for many refugees is the lack of information about what is happening to their loved ones back home. because the government has cut, internet and phone links to the region, aid agencies are also urging the authorities to open a humanitarian corridor to allow them to help people on the ground. highlighting some other stories, making news around the world at this hour. now. at least 30 people have been killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan. in the eastern city of gosney, the attacker drove a vehicle full of explosives onto an army commando base. afghanistan has seen a surge in attacks since the taliban started peace talks with the government. 2

months ago. temperatures in parts of australia rose above 40 degrees celsius for a 2nd straight day over the weekend. sydney sweated through the hottest november night on record, but temperatures plunge 10 degrees within 20 minutes on sunday. authorities have issued a total ban on all fires as a result of the extreme heat. david prowse, who played jorth vader in the star wars movies has died. he was 85, the bodybuilder turned actor who stood almost 2 meters tall, played several film and t.v. roles before being cast as the star wars villain. the character's voice, however, was that of another actor change. earl jones. the hardline leader of baylor's has clung to power despite widespread accusations of fraud during elections held over the summer. alexander lukashenko has increasingly

resorted to force to break up mass protests against his authoritarian rule. among those who've been jailed or doctors battling the coronavirus pandemic, having spent months playing down the dangers of the virus. alexander lukashenko finally makes a public appearance with a face mask. but he only puts it on when asked to by a doctor during a visit to the covert ward of this hospital in minsk. obviously not bothered about social distancing. asks the patients here whether they got infected in china strikes. well, he says anyone with covert won't be striking again. another patient tells lukashenko he doesn't understand the protests. the people should safeguard what they've got. the man looks a lot like the medical director of another hospital raising suspicions in

a doctor's chat room. that all this has been staged that the sinkers spokeswoman says that's not true. many doctors oppose look a shrink oh, and lots of ended up in jail. after joining protests across the country, leading cancer specialist, alexander minaj, was arrested for a doctor's protestor earlier this month and detained for 2 weeks. in prison, he became infected with curve it and is now isolating all or i don't know exactly who infected me or there were lots of prisoners in my cell with symptoms. but it definitely happened in a prison. the 5 doctors from our hospital were held in custody and they all had covered when they came out of your case numbers are rising in bellerose, but more and more doctors are being arrested. 60 were detained in the 1st week of

november alone. doctors are being arrested who could be treating covert patients. our health system is already under pressure because of the pandemic. but the authorities don't care about that. they've got a different agenda. the doctors in this video are calling for democracy and freedom and better. they're planning more protests for the 17th consecutive sunday. let's give you some football news now. dortmund drop vital points in the league or as struggling side. cologne, beat them to get their 1st win of the season. just 9 minutes in elias headed home after being left completely unmarked for a corner. and dortmund didn't learn their lesson with scary, again, left, unmarked after corner. in the 2nd half to hazard did pull one back. as the host ramped up the pressure in the closing stages,

but it was too little too late. as cologne won 21 away to dortmund am, i am. meanwhile, history has been made in american football with the 1st female athlete to play a game in the highest level of men's college football. sarah fuller delivered the opening kick off in the 2nd half built universities, commodores in a game against the missouri tigers. fuller's sporting day job is as goalkeeper for vanderbilt women's soccer team. she took the field for the commodores after several members of the squad were put in quarantine. a massive fireball lit up the skies of western japan. in the early hours of sunday morning, cameras in several regions caught a glimpse of a meteor descending towards the earth and then exploding in a brilliant flash of light and witness. in the city of months. it was so bright, it could even be seen through closed curtains.

you are watching the news up next is our documentary series doc film. with a look at how pandemics can change the world, and don't forget, you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site. that's dot com. there's more news right around the corner. and you hear me now. here's we're going to you and i last year's gentlemen starts now with bringing you back or if you've never had to have a surprise yourself with what is possible really? what moves want to talk to people in full time along the way. maurice and critics alike join us for metals last august.

people who study pipework health have been saying, listen, this is going to happen. it's only a matter of time. this is a message from the government's chief medical officer about coronavirus. you should now only go out to an absolutely necessary for food medicine, work or exercise. always try to stay 2 metres apart. do not meet others outside your household, even friends and family. i

think this disease is remarkably infectious, even compared to influenza, the flu. so even though we were prepared, we're almost overrun by the ferocity of the pandemic. it's highly transmissible, like other coronaviruses, which with all the cold, common cold. you know, if you're in the room with someone with a cold, you're likely to get the cold. but the problem with this virus is it doesn't stop in the nose, it doesn't stop and alone. it can spread very rapidly into the rest of the body. and that's why it is such a traumatic to the portobello road in the heart of london's notting hill district, normally packed with people and tourists from all over the world. now in march 2020, its deserted streets shuttered, shops, closed schools, empty public transport queues. the deadly covered 19 virus that hit the world in the early months of 2020,

neck to scenes like this. and from where we all brave. and it's very difficult to completely isolate the brass of one person from another. so that it is likely the respiratory diseases that are the respiratory viruses that are going to be the real problem in terms of epidemics and pandemics. you know, for the, for the hour and in the future. but this is just the latest in the series of kind to makes that has devastated populations and societies across the world through the eighty's. when i was

a child in the shift is there were many diseases around and i got hepatitis those polio around and you see people who were crippled. and we were aware all the time of the, the dangers of infection and the doctor would come to go home and treat it. but what's happened since then we've brought in antibiotics. we brought in factions and gradually we've driven many of the infectious diseases not necessary out of the richer countries, but didn't into hidden health care components of the richer countries options of need, hospitals away from the community. this hasn't happened in many parts of the world, for example, in the african continent where they dealing with daily diseases like this on a daily basis. each disease is slightly different from every other disease. and the problem with this coded 19 virus is that we, we can't quite protect our, this is going to turn out, we cannot predict at the moment how long immunity will last, whether we'll be solid immunity, whether everyone becomes, you know, whether you become more immune if you had

a more severe illness and have less immunity. if you tried to off quickly, we just don't know movies are still questions are up in the air, diseases and viruses such a smallpox people on a plane, tuberculosis and into wednesday. and some of the most brutal killers in human history, outbreaks of these diseases across international borders. i defined as pandemics. how did they change the world in the past? why do they still happen? and how will they change the world again? this will be akin to new and battle. i think we thought we were winning the battle after brown night in fifty's. and this is a reminder the coville night in our brain that it is a continuing battle. and it will continue on into the future. through the ages, men have searched and found cures for new diseases and they are doing same again. the idea that vaccines or drugs are silver, bullets is rather naive or it certainly needs you need to be

far more nuance in your thinking. these are extremely valuable weapons in our armory against infectious diseases, but they they suffer from 2 problems. sometimes when we want them to work, they don't work. and sometimes they cause problems in addition to the problem solved. and that's true of drugs and it's true of actually humans have always caught diseases from animals. in fact, most new infections and diseases come from wild life. it really goes back full time when humans 1st became urbanized and clusters themselves. where they've moved from being on to gatherers if you like, into a more organized society. that's probably when the 1st many pandemics occur very history of human, human civilization has been increasing contact with animals starting with agriculture. you know, where we had under investigation of animals. he had also things like grain stocks

and such which brought in other non domesticated animals like mice and rats, and wrote other rodents. we've have expansion into wilderness areas with agriculture would need for housing need for lumber or need for raw materials, other or materials which brought us in contact with animals. so there's been these tendencies to have increasing contact with animals that we have not had contact with before. but environmental changes are speeding up. this process of the explosion of city living and international travel means that when these diseases emerge, they can spread more quickly. most animals carry a range of pathogens, bacteria, and viruses, which can cause disease. a pathogen is an organism that causes disease. the pathogens evolutionary survival depends on infecting new hosts and jumping to others is one way to do this. the new hosts,

immune system tries to kill off the new pathogen, meaning that the 2 unlocked eternally in an evolutionary game of trying to find new ways to vanquish each other. we encounter new patterns all the time. the vast, vast majority of the pathogens being counter are either not very successful at infecting humans or transmitting between humans or are dealt with very easily barmy ancestor, now there is some very small fraction that's able to infect humans directly from something like bird flu, a very small fraction of those are able to actually transfer from one human to another, such as murders. i mean, even smaller fraction of those are able to jump from one human to or not a human with enough transmission that it could actually cause an outbreak wild animals, often harbor viruses. bats for instance, can carry hundreds of them. and viruses jumping from species to species can

ultimately infect people with human. urbanization officious cycle develops more people bring more deforestation. human expansion and loss of habitat ultimately kills off predators. including those who feed off rodents with the project has gone, or at least their numbers sharply diminished. the rodent population explodes. and the studies in africa show. so does the risk of soon not a disease. and the situation is only likely to get worse as it has been for centuries. a major proportion of east asians population still lives in larry's other nice asian is expected to continue for decades. tropical regions rich in bio diversity, already hold a knowledge pool of pathogens rate increasing the chance that unknown pathogen

a farming system throughout africa or nation doesn't help them both continents. many families depend on subsistence farming a miniscule supply of livestock disease, control, food, and housing for those animals is extremely limited to cattle chickens and pigs which can carry endemic disease. often in close contact with each other and of a riot she of non-domestic can in some humans live on in the markets, commonplace throughout asia and africa, feature crowded conditions on the internet, the mixing of multiple species, including humans. this is to place a key role in how much pathogen could emerge and spread between species. another risk is bushmeat hunting and butchering, which is particularly widespread in sub-saharan africa. these activities not only

threaten the animal species and they were vocally changed ecosystems. they also bring people and wild animals together, bushmeat time to clear up the crime rate pompous, do not seek to transmission with bush made while you're doing is you're going out there and you're trotting or catching while down. moles which might bite, which might scratch. and then your butchering that which puts you in direct contact with a lot of their bodily fluids. and so it's very easy for profit gyms to jump for these wild animals who are here minister of the mechanism of bushmeat. an alternative to bush meat is factory farming, you know, high density farming. but then that can do causes the conditions that are ripe for pathogens jumping in from a wall population into a domestic population like the mastic poultry in a way that wasn't average and jump into human population. so is traditional chinese

medicine, which purports to provide remedies for a host of conditions like arthritis, epilepsy, and erectile dysfunction. although no scientific evidence exists to support most of these claims. asia is an enormous consumer of traditional chinese medicine products . tigers, bears, rhinos pangolin and other animal species approach. so their body parts could be mixed into these questionable medication. this too is a major contributor to increasing animal human interaction. demand is likely to go up as online marketing souls along with asia's relentless economic growth. these trends have become very well established in the last 100 years. but plagues and pandemics have been around for as long as man himself the world to really affect all influences for other ones. have these logs demographic in their 30 percent or half the population is killed,

that withdraws an awful lot of people from the labor force to disrupt social, political institutions in ways that make a great hope of them to recover. the plague of justinian was a pandemic that afflicted the byzantine eastern roman empire and especially its capital. constantinople in the 6th century merchant ships arriving from black sea ports, harbored rats that carried fleas infected with plague. this became one of the deadliest pandemics in history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 25 to 100 1000000 people during the following 2 centuries. it's named after m. progestin, the 1st to call the disease, but survived. the outbreak begun in 542, but then there were a color of episodes of plague over the next 1012 years or so.

and we know that by the end of this period, the visit to an empire was thrown into turmoil, said something like, furthermore, the population was stricken them died. the losses of rome itself were huge. so it struck right at the heart of the roman empire. the usual narrative about the plague justinian is that the us was result of the breakup of the byzantine empire at the beginning of what were known as the dark ages. in a similar way that we used to, you know, covert starting slowly. it starts with, you know, one or 2 people falling ill, not really realizing, but in this case, we know that in fact a very, very rapid. once people develop some sort, they would progress of our soil. so there, although some end up dead in a matter of days. so it was shocking unfair for the deadliest plague in history was the 2nd major case of people on a plane commonly known as the black death. the dance of death,

the dance mccarver and an agreed on the universality of death was a common painting motif during the late medieval period to kill between the 1st to the heart. europe's them population up to 75000000 people. so yes, i mean the demographic impacts were met. also originating in the east, in china, the disease spread west along the silk road, sic ane reaching the black sea in mediterranean trade ships, then spread the disease to the rest of europe, italy 1st in sicily, in venice. in 1347 and the rest of europe over the next 3 years. this remains the deadliest plague outbreak in history. the bacterium yesenia pest is derived from the rat flea, which results in several forms of tiny. it's believed to have been the cool thing again. technically you would very quickly develop a fever head.
