2:00 am
country, shoreline, we don't know which happened there. even today, kids in laos, fall victim to bombs dropped decades ago. is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy in laos was built to the people needed in that little land on violence on the streets of paris says france debates a bill to ban publishing, images of police for malicious reasons. our correspondent was caught up in the unaddressed we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman grabbed by officers while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview with the u.s. moves to adopt a bill to jail those involved in doping. however,
2:01 am
the well down to doping agency raises big concerns over the plan. why trump rushes to carry out selection promises including getting troops out of afghanistan and iraq. as he continues to question these u.s. presidential election results. and russia's president says, care about bloodshed could have been stopped. weeks ago before the our media nazeri conflict took so many casualties. correspondent records from the sea, the other fragile peace. this is still somewhat of a surreal sight russian peacekeepers standing together with the troops. good, good, you threw away from us a very warm welcome to you. it's 10 am here in moscow, and you're watching our c international with mean a caring. top story protests have turned violent in france, following
2:02 am
a draft security bill to ban the publication of images of police with intent to cause them harm. the interior minister insists the bill will protect offices, but it sparked outrage from rights campaigners tear gas and water cannon have been fired in the french capital to disperse crowds, angry at the move holderness . as you can see, police vehicles are moving down and pushing the protesters down that this street
2:03 am
protests since you've come, i'm going against the global security lure to draw. 7 from real that's being discussed in the national assembly on tuesday evening. this is a rule which includes an element which if cost could make it illegal for people to disseminate to record and publish images of police officers. if there is intent to harm criminalizing soon, all of the could lead to mourning amphoras around after 45000 troops. we have seen police battening and whacking protesters trying to move them from the streets behind us. you can see that there is a row of police vehicles here that water cannon as well that's being used tonight as has ample tear gas. thank you.
2:04 am
thank you. i've seen women having their hay young to being abused to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by police officers, medics being hit by police battens. and in fact, as we were just at the metro station filming some of the violence against the protest as we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman, who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview and ejected from that crowd that this protest is proved by journalists who knows the law has been criticised by the e.u. and us in terms of its democratic consequences. the bill could
2:05 am
lead to significant violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in particular, the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression. intent is a concept that is open to interpretation and hard to determine any photos or video showing a dent a fireball. police officers that are published or broadcast by critical media outlets, or are accompanied by critical comments, could find themselves being accused of seeking to harm these police officers. for journalists, the legal risk exists, and the possibility of conviction would be real images over the police up protests have been used time and time again, showing the violence that is being used that this is law would essentially stop. that's what unions say, they say that it is senses ship. however, the government says this new is needed to protect police officers from the violence . because while i'm talking about the police hitting protesters trying to move them
2:06 am
around, we have also seen violence towards the police. the seething, we've seen bottles thrown into woods and far as being lit. we have seen destruction here on the streets of paris with the bus shelters being smashed in. so there is violence on both sides. and the government says this noor is needed to protect the police. police unions say it doesn't go far enough and if it is a choice between freedom of the press and liberty, when it comes to showing these images to the security of their offices, they will side with the security of their offices every time anybody who would be found guilty of if this law passed would find themselves one year behind jail with a fine of 45000 you is that is a severe punishment. but let you tell me this. a severe punishment is being on the frontlines in an evening like this when the tensions are so high. is that attack from the police?
2:07 am
possibly because they're also afraid over the protestors. but the reality is it is been a brutal like with violence from both sides. but from where we have stood, the violence has been main coming from the police to wards protesters who for the most part, we haven't witnessed him doing anything to well deserved some of the violence i've observed this evening. political analyst, nicol americans each have police police officers now say they expect to be captured on camera for that reason to go along with reorganization of the french police and law enforcement agencies. the tip of the iceberg that we're talking about today, and it's getting everybody really nervous, is the fact that you would not be able to morrow to film a police van. and i think it's important to state that people are not showing policemen today, or law enforcement agents who are law abiding, who are respecting the law, who are just doing their job in trying to make sure that demonstrations are going as normal. people are feeling today because we've seen in france and these past
2:08 am
years, extreme violence. if a lot of demonstrators there only defense is to film the policemen, showing that this is their, my security, my insurance, that you won't be up. and if you do, i'm going to make sure that your base is on is our internet. i think it is extremely important that as people are in the streets that people be able to film. this is extremely important. that's part of the job police officer 2020. that's the way it is. if you don't want to be filmed or become a police officer, i think this is something which is, which is important. the wild anti doping agency's question to us bill to prosecute di thing in sports wada wants to know why the bill excludes american events, allowing only international prosecutions don't quarter. washington's rolled out its latest offensive in the war on performance enhancing drugs. it's called the rod shank of act, the rather chink anti doping act of 2019 which strengthened the integrity of international sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons
2:09 am
involved in international doping fraud conspiracy. the act would green light washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players and it outlines some have to be penalties, fines of up to one $1000000.00 as well as prison sentences of up to 10 years. a dream come true for the usa today. it is a monumental day in the fight for clean sport worldwide, and we look forward to seeing the act soon become law and help change the game for clean athletes for the good looks promising enough on paper. but here comes the double standard, u.s. . politicians are more than happy to put foreigners behind bars for doping while the bill gives american athletes. a free pass duping agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u.s. support. in particular, the professional leagues, and all college sport, it is not good enough for american sports. why is it fine for the rest of the world?
2:10 am
considering how the u.s. has treated domestic doping in the past, the log book could probably use of updates take julian edelman, the patriots shining star and super bowl m.v.p. his career seen some great achievements with a little help from dope. he treats wide receiver julian edelman is facing a 4 game suspension for performance enhancing substances. a 4 game suspension is quite a long leap away from 10 years in the can for edelman though the cushy treatment didn't end there. he was still showered with awards at the years and even sealed advertisement deals. there are no rules in basketball, it's a similar story. last year, basketball, prodigy deon, dreyer, 8, and was caught doping up his punishment. jail. just kidding. he was suspended for $25.00 games and then showed up on the jimmy kimmel show. he's a member of the n.b.a. all rookie team from the phoenix suns. say hello to deion 38 and hello to you. all
2:11 am
right, and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake commercial i was on the prize. that's how you do it. washington's long made it clear they take doping in sports very seriously. when of course, it suits their agenda. sports, my sound would cost the island more once the u.s. bill has a completely different agenda to the states. this has nothing to do with police welfare or looking after teens. if it did, if we told you different, it's not going to go for the firearms. it's not going to those in the, for the sponsors of the sport, it's simply looking out for the breeding money interest, the hollanders, media, and government is not in to do with r.c. . whether because it was r.c. welfare,
2:12 am
they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports in america would sign of the mission into water. but it won't do it or because the owners of the big major sports teams and media networks who cover them. and this huge be massive is huge and investors in these sports want to happen so does, has nothing to indicate whether this is simply about greed. and the dollar that i'm at putin's authored a behind the scenes look at talks to end. the nagorno-karabakh conflicts, the russian president explained a peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan couldn't be reached weeks ago. but one of the nations was willing to concede contrary to popular opinion that did not. on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president lee, evan prime minister, passion, yen. at that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained control over an insignificant southern part of care about it. in general, i managed to convince president aliyev that it was possible to stop the hostilities
2:13 am
if you, but his obligatory condition was the return of refugees, including to shusha. then unexpectedly, for me, the position of our armenian partners was formulated in such a way that it was unacceptable for them that the prime minister told me back then. but no, we cannot agree to this. we will fight, therefore, accusations against him, of some kind of betrayal. have no basis in the truce that is widely seen as a capitulation in armenia triggering protests and demands the prime minister, quits. there's a different mood in azerbaijan to keep his military gains on this move this month will receive 3 more districts in the disputed care about the region, but rather by putin says' ending the bloodshed makes it a win win summer glau. the most important thing that's been done is to stop the bloodshed. over 4000 people died according to official data. in reality,
2:14 am
i think there are more tens of thousands have been injured and maimed, and this is not a movie. this is a tragedy that is taking place in real life with real people affecting real families. therefore stopping the bloodshed is the key thing. with author and historian gerald horne told us how the armenian premiers you turn on a truce coast international support. keep in mind that when the prime minister or many are into this war, this conflict with that is left to the deaths of thousands to the maiming and injury of thousands to the creation of displaced persons and refugees. a significant percentage or a 1000000 population, not to mention, there were many an aspirant was in the prime minister's corner. but as is often said, victory has a 1000 parents. and defeat is an orphan. and so now you see that
2:15 am
a number of there were millions, were cheering on the prime minister when he wanted this conflict, or when he entered into this conflict, now are ready to see him take the nearest and close this refugees, meanwhile, continue to return to karabakh under the protection of russian peacekeepers on tuesday, 500, armenians traveled back to their homes. having fled the fighting 1700, people have now gone back to the key city after panic attacks and expressed thanks for russian support. we feel that we aren't alone anymore. we're supporting. we've been given our lives back. i'm happy that russia has with me. i have nothing to respected russia and i have nothing to tell them. so. i feel happy and proud that we have friends like this that help us and don't leave us in trouble. russian peacekeepers have reopened the only road link between armenia on the region to ensure the safe return of civilians. the mission is also help to improve
2:16 am
cooperation between armenia and desirae troops in karabakh artist, my god, you have sent us this report from the peacekeeping. just north of shushi, the site of some of the bloodiest and most merciless fighting of this war is a russian peacekeeper outpost. they arrived to a scene from a nightmare routes lined with bodies and bombs burned and blasted vehicles. this is still somewhat of a surreal sight. russian peacekeepers standing together with i said about johnny troops, just 32 so meters away from us outside of truce. he of all places, it's been days now since i've been registered. and this is especially surprising given the brutality of this conflict just a few weeks ago, after weeks of fadia as she was eventually reached in the 10th of november, it was full of compromise where armenia agreed to hand over various territories. it
2:17 am
controlled to a set of by john the latter agreed to let ethnic armenian refugees return to their homes. but signing papers is one thing. making sure things actually happen is another one of the benefits of the 2 dozen or so. russian cease fire monitoring stations that have been set up here in the go in the car bomb is that they are neutral territories. they areas where as their buddy troops just a few 100 meters away from us can come as well as armenian forces. and they can resolve their disputes with the help of russian peacekeepers. as mediators, there are also areas where the red cross can come. for example, to do its own work, such as organize the exchange of prisoners. the change of the remains the fall in troops to coordinate the mining operations. it's all about trust peacekeepers serve an important function. sure. they discourage cease fire violations
2:18 am
that really gets you so far. but they shine that he's getting the, those who waged war to build peace, to that head, humanitarian groups of thoughts to care about the red cross being at the forefront . now, roots and pauses once littered with bodies and traps and mines a safe again. but what breeds even more optimism is the tommy and that is if i judge these can gather at the same place and talk if through russian peacekeepers more, i guess dia of the gold make up a few politicians want to show to work quick to get more people back in employment, we put the issue up for debate after the break
2:19 am
credo tempered to say, simpson, exacerbating an alarming everyone knew mindlessly. actually what that means is we end up picking solutions that cost a lot, but actually do very little. it's just a kind of feel good instead of actual solutions that want to fix global warming. so it's seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't call me yet to stamp out disdain, become educated, and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart,
2:20 am
we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics or business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. welcome back. the u.s. has announced the withdrawal of 500 troops from iraq and thousands from afghanistan is set to take place in january just before projected president elect joe biden is expected to take office and potentially oppose that decision. and a further complication donald trump made the announcement while still disputing the election results. artie's, it carried more pain, has more. the pentagon has announced that it is reducing the number of u.s. troops in both iraq and afghanistan between now and mid january. u.s.
2:21 am
troops will be drawing down their presence at roughly $2500.00 remaining in both countries. i celebrate this day as we continue the president's consistent progress in completing the mission we began nearly 2 decades ago. viewers will recall that donald trump has recently fired a number of pentagon staff, including mark asper, the secretary of defense. at this point, donald trump is still contesting the u.s. presidential election. though most u.s. media outlets have declared joe biden to be the winner. now donald trump campaigned on a promise of withdrawing u.s. troops from around the world, putting america 1st and drawing back the u.s. military presence in countries overseas. and it appears that with this movie is partially fulfilling that promise. the u.s. public overwhelmingly shows in polls. they do favor a reduction of the u.s. presence overseas. however, it seems that the chief of nato was not thrilled with this recent move by trump. we
2:22 am
went into afghanistan together, and when the time is right we should leave together in a coordinated and orderly way. will this change with a joe biden in ministration in the white house? joe biden has also indicated that he favors drawing back the u.s. military presence overseas. however, joe biden has continued to emphasize that he will not withdraw u.s. troops from afghanistan. americans are rightly weary of and longest war on him too, but we must win the war responsibly. in a manner that ensures we both go against threats to our homeland and never have to go back at the time of the u.s. intervention. joe biden was a big supporter of the u.s. invasion of afghanistan. and joe biden has been very outspoken about the need for a continued mission there, and a continued u.s. military presence. pistor is going to judge us very harshly. i believe if we allow the hope of a liberator to evaporate, because we are fearful of the phrase nation building, or we do not stay the course. now joe biden's administration looks like it might be
2:23 am
more pro war at this point. folks will recall that joe biden not only supported the u.s. invasion of afghanistan, but he was a big supporter of the u.s. invasion of iraq and actually drafted legislation that helped to make that war happen. joe biden furthermore indicated that he is likely to appoint susan rice as his secretary of state. now susan rice is a big supporter of u.s. military interventionism. and she served in the obama administration. in addition to that, we've got me shelf more names being pointed to, as potentially the secretary of defense for the biden administration. she was a big advocate of u.s. military intervention in syria and u.s. military intervention in libya. does this mean that if joe biden takes office in january, he will reverse donald trump's recent move to pull out u.s. troops between now and january. that is unclear, however, on many speculate that the biden ministration will have much more of an interventionist bent than trump. trump is doing this for political reasons and
2:24 am
trying to fulfill a campaign promise. he's not all of them all. you also got to keep in mind, he may substitute u.s. troops for private military contractors. the whole notion is for him to have all the troops by next may, but then by then you may be into a, by an administration. and the troop levels could go back up again. really depends upon commitments by the taliban. and what have you, and you've got to consider that a biden ministration given the lead in neoconservatives may be jumping on board. his administration may pursue efforts to keep troops there. and even establishment republicans are calling for troops to remain in afghanistan and probably even in iraq. the u.s. military is reportedly buying up location data from apps specifically targeting muslim people the on line magazine behind of a pool of things. the news particularly disturbing,
2:25 am
given the pentacles history and the region, the u.s. military, which is infamously used other location data to target drone strikes, is purchasing access to sensitive data. many of the users of apps involved in the data supply chain are muslim, which is notable, considering that the united states has waged a decades long war on predominantly muslim terror groups in the middle east and has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians during its military operations motherboard does not know of any specific operations in which this type of app based location data has been used by the u.s. military. what is stated that the u.s. government obtains data from muslim focused apps like muslim pro, which claims to be the most popular of its kind, almost 100000000 users. others include muslim, mingle, a dating app with more than 100000 downloads and similar apps being targeted to focus on specific muslim countries like iran, turkey, and egypt and more general apps are on the list, tel among them. a step counter,
2:26 am
a job site, and a weather forecaster selling their data brokers is not unusual, but in this case, the broker is a company called x. mode. it makes money from selling access to clients, including defense contractors, the us military. but x. mode insists the company has noble ambitions. x. mode licenses its data panel to a small number of technology companies that may work with government military services. but our work with such contractors is international and primarily focused on 3 use cases. counterterrorism, cyber security and predicting future covert 19 and american military spokes. persons reacted to the reports. maintaining the pentagon protects the privacy of u.s. citizens. however, some still want to know who the brokers are selling their data to. since the report was published, the muslim probe has reportedly broken ties with x. mode and launched a probe international relations put relations professor jamal. what king says this
2:27 am
is all about u.s. domestic politics. the united states is proud to be a comic social classes part. 1 of one being the crisis, not too late to blame on themselves on the establishment. 'd who are reaching this, all those who are what we call in science to export prices, which is to blame it on an outsider, not on and a member of the muslim countries. and that was the world and the muslim community inside the united states as a justification for the crisis. and of course, it would also just by the intervention of policy growing numbers of the politicians are putting their hopes in a shorter work week to kickstart economies. crippled by the covert pandemic,
2:28 am
and i joined so paletta to block leaders, they explained why a 4 day weeks the solution throughout history shorter working hours have been used during times of crisis and economic recession. as a way of sharing work more equally across the economy. between the unemployed and the over employed. shorter working weeks, gaining international traction with supporters, claiming it will boost productivity and employee morale. but many businesses and right wing politicians warn the move will hurt living standards. we discuss this with a supporter as well as an opponent of the plan. the only problem with out is if you reduce your 4 day work week in the hours, you know, you're going to have 25 percent less product to me and you're going to have to pay a seam amount of money. so you're going to have less productivity. you're going to make a product to me some more. and how would this work with the hospitals in the medical profession? if the doctors really were 4 days,
2:29 am
there's actually no correlation between great support. if it's the end hours worked . and in the u.k.'s particular program where we were the longest hours complex, any country at the same time with the least productive country gets any country. and so there's actually caps, you know, accommodation, where they've done that. productivity has been boosted up to 20 percent in japan. where microsoft went to a 4 day wait for it was he went up 40 percent from a banking perspective. you know, you're going to lose competition with asia or other markets where these people are still working 506070 hours. so it means that they're going to be old, have a cost of production that's a lot lower than you need. just be not competitive too bad. so all you get public support moving to a 4 day week, including 53 percent of conservatives. this is a left wing policy. this is just about more free time for everyone. here we have, a crisis that was caused by the lack of leadership in our country. in the u.k., we've lost the 1000000 jobs due to come over and we're paying more money. and the
2:30 am
government keeps printing more money that we don't have. i think what we need to be or get people back to work in the office and get people back. so that we can get our economy back together because the economy is fragmented. this point, we need to get back to work and get people back to work and bring into this country to create more jobs here. that's what we really mean. there was a study out a couple of months ago that showed if you bought a 40 going to the public sector, it would cost around $5000000.00 pounds per year, which is any one percent of total government spend. and let's also remember that in a time of recession, an economic crisis, where you've got a looming on employment crisis on our hands, a full day working with it is the best possible option for sharing that won't cost the economy because you've got millions of unemployed people at the same time, you've got millions over a boy, people who saw stress, mental health issues 40 we would be them about rebalancing of the economy that we need such a thing out international way back in 30 minutes.
