the u.s. making amends for the tragedy in laos was built to the people need in that little land on by than from the streets of paris, france debates a bill to ban publishing, images of police for malicious reasons. our correspondent was caught up in the trouble. we ourselves were forcibly shocked out by the police, my cameraman, who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview with the world anti-doping agency blasts, the u.s.

for double standards after the senate, their backs appeal to jail sports except in the u.s. itself and donald trump rushes to carry out an action promises including getting troops out of afghanistan and iraq, as he continues to question the result of the u.s. presidential election. and also to russia's president says the bloodshed in qatar back could have been stopped. weeks ago before the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan took so many casualties, reports on the work of russian peacekeepers in the region. one of the benefits of the 2 dozen or so russian, she's monitoring stations that have been set up here in the golden hello there. good afternoon. just gone 2 o'clock in moscow. you get r.t. international. now protests have turned in france following

a draft security bill to ban the publication of images of police with intent to cause them harm. the interior minister insists that the bill will protect officers, but it has 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 the street

protesters who'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 over police offices. if there is intent to harm a criminal eyes, ational of could lead to more amphoras around a $45000.00 euro. we have seen police battening and flacking protesters trying to move them from the streets behind us. you can see that there is a room of police vehicles here that water cannon as well that's being used tonight as has ample tear gas. thank you.

thank you. i've seen women having their hay young and being used 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 protesters, we ourselves were forcibly shocked at by the police, my cameraman, who grabbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview and objected from not crowds that you know. 7 i got to know that this paradise is proved by journalists who are here, but i am sure the law has been criticised by the un. you are seeing tombs of its time apart because occurrences the bill could 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 are protests, have been used time and time again. show the violence that's been used, that this is what essentially stopped. that's what unions say, they say that it is censorship. 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 around, we have also seen violence towards the police this evening. 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 of 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. and there is that attack from the police possibly because they're also afraid of the protesters. 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 have witnessed him doing anything well deserved some of the violence. i've said this evening that was a shell of even porting the center of paris for political analyst believes the police officers should expect to be captured on camera. there is something going on with the 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 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. but people are feeling today because we've seen in france in these past

years, extreme violence, if you lot of them is traitors. their only defense is to the police mentioning that this is my security, my interests that you want me to do. i'm going to make sure that your base is on is an internet. i think it is extremely important that people are in the streets that people be able to film. this is extremely important. that's part of the job of a true police officer 2020. that's the way it is. if you don't want to be killed or become a police officer, i think this is something which is which is important. now the world anti-doping agency has blasted the u.s. for a bill to jail. has anybody involved in sports? are you paying except in the u.s. itself? while this says it is actually stunned by the double standards, especially as america has a widespread problem of and you do bring agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u.s. support. in particular, the professional leagues in all college sport, if it is not good enough for american sports,

why is it fine for the rest of the world? washington's rolled out its latest offensive in the war on performance enhancing drugs. it's called the rod shank of act. the anti doping act of 2019 which strengthened the integrity of international sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons 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 $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. 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 patriots 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 3. hello to you. all right, and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake commercial. i was on the price.

that's how you know washington's long made it clear, they take doping in sports very seriously. when of course, it suits their agenda. it was a don't call to that was rush from broadcast on them, which is want to be us. bill has a very different agenda. the one stated this has nothing to do with lease welfare or looking after cheese. if it did, it would be totally different. stocks are going out for the farms. it's not going to those either for the sponsors of the sport, it's simply looking out for the breeding money interests. the hollanders, media, and government is not seen to do with whether because it was welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports in america would sign of the meter water. but it won't do that because the owners of the big major sports teams to me networks to cover them. and the huge be massive.

it's your best years in the sports war. and so this has nothing to do actually, whether this is simply about greed and the dollar that imitating has offered a behind the scenes look at talks to end, the nagorno-karabakh conflict, the russian president explained the peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan could have been reached weeks ago, one of the nations was reluctant to stop fighting. on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president lee, evan prime minister passion yan. 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 to put his obligatory condition with 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. well the truth is widely seen as a capitulation in armenia triggering protests and demands that the prime minister quits. there is though a very different mood in is a big on which has celebrated, the deal keeps its military gains and this month will receive 3 other districts in the disputed cata back region. however, plan to putin does say ending the bloodshed makes it a win win. some of the most important thing that's been done is to stop the bloodshed. over 4000 people died according to official data. in reality, i think there are more tens of thousands have been injured and maimed. 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. author and historian, gerald hawn told us how the armenian premiers, you turn on a truce, cost him national support. keep in mind that when the prime minister for many went into this war, this conflict with that is left to the deaths of thousands. so the maiming and injuries of thousands to the creation of displaced persons and refugees, a significant percentage or many in population not to mention the worst in the prime minister's corner. but as is often seen, victory has a 1000 parents and defeat is an orphan. and so know that you see that a number of they were many and were cheering on their prime minister when he wants this conflict, or when he entered into this conflict, now are ready to see him take the nearest and close this well,

referee refugees. meanwhile, to continue to return to kind of back under the protection of russian peacekeepers on tuesday, 500 armenians travel back to their homes. having fled the fighting 1700 page and have now gone back to the penikett and express thanks to russian support who feel that we aren't alone anymore. we're supported and 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 lose. i feel happy and proud that we have friends like this that help us and don't leave us in trouble. but russian peacekeepers have reopened the only road link between armenia and the region to ensure the safe return of civilians. the mission has also helped improve cooperation between retreats in cata itself. sent us this report on the peacekeeping. work 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 after weeks of failure. as she's fire was eventually reached on the 10th of november, it was full of compromise where armenia agreed to hand over various territories. it controlled to a.z. headed 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 seized 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 they are, by drawing the 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 exchange 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 that really gets you so far, but they shine that he's getting those who waged war to build peace. to that end, humanitarian groups if flocked to care about the red cross being at the forefront now, rudes and passes once littered with bodies and traps and mines

a safe and but what breeds even more optimism is that all mediums emitted by john, these can gather at the same place and talk if through russian peacekeepers more, i guess day of the golden still ahead for you this. i don't try and makes a radical foreign policy shift, knowing it may soon be reversed by president elect. joe biden will tell you what he's up to. just after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. sports business, i'm showbusiness. i'll see you then. credo

chambered, it is a simpson, exacerbating an alarming everyone who mindlessly actually what that means is we end up making solutions that long, but actually do very little. it's just a kind of instead of the actual solutions that were seemed wrong to me, but yet to stamp out disdain becomes agitated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back with r.t. . now the u.n. has released $100000000.00 in emergency funds to poor nations after the world food program warned. the social impact of the pandemic, such as job losses approving, even more disastrous than the health effects of itself. many people in lower middle income countries who a few months ago were poor, were just about getting by now from their livelihoods have been destroyed. remittances from workers abroad to the firm is a home of all for dried up, causing immense hardship. as a result of hunger, it's a skyrocketing around the world. well, a new report by the world food program and the international organization for migration found that lockdown restrictions have limited human mobility and core significant losses in incomes as well as the remittances on which $800000000.00 people around the world do depend. last month, the world bank did warn remittances to lower middle income countries could tumble

in the wake of the pandemic. and that could leave an additional $33000000.00, people at risk of hunger, according to the world food program. so let's cross live now to clarity alpo. he's a senior food security advisor at the world food program. thanks for your time this afternoon. cloudier. clearly just put this in perspective just how much worse is the situation now. concerning food security or insecurity compared to how it was before the pandemic just a few months ago. yes. now i think you very much saw the 19 had a compounding effect on the already did have eating food security situation on the road. the pandemic hit at a time when hunger has been on the rights for all of us for constitutive number of years, mainly due to conflict climate at the chance. and the economic crisis already in 2900, more than 135 people were in food crisis,

meaning that they don't know where their next meal is coming from. so early on he estimated actually because that an additional $100.00 up to $270000000.00 people around the world could now become food in secure. absolutely. if we can secure due to the negative, social, cannot make effects caused by the kind and damage. and that me and mention a few numbers. why this is the case. you know, that 495000000 full time jobs has been passed. as an immediate consequence of the pandemic, we also know that official comment answers and you have just mentioned it decreased are likely to increase by 14 percent this year and next year. and when mentors are indeed a very important lifeline far 800000000 people around the world in particular are also to need. therefore deeds ok clearly cannot use our sort of jump in may sure is

the solution though. can't be solved purely by money. can it? because we know that the u.n. central mergence response fund is going to give $80000000.00 to lower income countries. but how will that help? because you the showing that many supply chains of, of being disrupted by this is sending money to these countries. really going to solve a problem just like that. yes. so i think there are several challenges, stat that we are facing. one a certain these are financial resources just to give us because we have just heard about the increasing number of need that we are facing our work and the financial and the funding cuts for humanitarian assistance is still vitus vida, ning. every year, year after year. so just to give you an example for our organization,

we are mobilizing to meet the needs of 138000000 people. but we have facing county a funding gap off $55000000000.00 u.s. dollars. and indeed, funding is not the only solution because it is not the only challenge because we are also facing in several locations on the word limited humanitarian access. so that's a major concern for us because that would, that does not allow us to reach some of the people that i and desperate need be there for our calling to, to ensure access to all the important to food, to how to cripple and to add to the humanitarian workers that need to reach those locations. ok. so from what i can understand, you believe that the help that's coming forward isn't enough at the moment, but do your calls sort of fall on deaf ears?

do you feel that the international community is listening? would you expect them after you putting out this sort of warning, sort of flood you with help? i mean, what are your expectations? i mean there are obviously lots of challenges. all the countries are facing at all and we are hoping that it is very we are hoping that the message comes cross that the whole world is so intact, connected today. so if we are not and meeting the needs of those, that most left, that really left behind, it is back on, on all of us. so we have been hoping very strongly that our message is behind thanks very much for coming on to our team, explaining the situation to us as a senior through security advisor at the u.n. world food program. thank you. now the u.s. is announced, they would truly 500 troops from iraq and thousands from if 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. in a further complication to donald trump made the units meet while still disputing the election result teleported reports. 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. 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 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 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 end 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. history is going to judge us very harshly. i believe if we allow the hope of a liberated afghanistan 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 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 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 michelle floor in a was 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 intervention bent than trump. trump is doing this for political reasons and 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 out by next may, but then by then you may be into a biden 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 fact that a lot of 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 watching us internationally as have been easy to see in the afternoon here in moscow, back again if that facts rather than the survival of the states. let's look out for let's say on the police, on greece on the banks of the fight. well, thank you for the story that's.
