9:00 am
here's a good day over the children are torn between galled my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal? german police fire water cannons, protest movements refused to back down in the capital at this berlin looks to pass a new law to increase its powers. meanwhile, violence on the streets of paris to his france debates a bill to ban publishing, images of police with intent to harm them. our correspondent was caught up in the trouble we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman,
9:01 am
who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview on the world anti-doping agency blasts, the united states for double standards after the senate backs a bill to jail those behind in sport except in america's domestic leagues. even just gone 5 here in moscow, you with r.t. international police in berlin, have used water cannon on protesters, making a stand against covert 19 down measures. we're looking at some live pictures there from berlin. it is against a backdrop of debate in parliament at the moment on a bill that would make it easier to introduce restrictions over the coronavirus pandemic.
9:02 am
ok let's go across to berlin and speak to peter all of the pay to just explain why people are so angry about this bill. well, they're angry because they think it will take away freedoms that they say are already being eroded. now the group that are protesting, still continuing that demonstration, despite being told by the police that it was over despite all that ice is saying, the protest was over there still there. outside of the german bundestag being showered with water cannon by the police. now they say that these new measures would erode their rights. there's around $14000.00 of them. that's according to
9:03 am
some police sources that have come out on to the streets of berlin. missiles were thrown at the police, rare fireworks of the things of bottles as well. police of responded with water cannon and are trying to, to get people to disperse from the scene at the moment. it's not just protesters that have been caught up in this though. we've also seen one politician alternative germany's cast and his. he put out a video which shows, well, we're calling to you alternative for germany anyway, shows him being approached by the police for not wearing a mask. he then produced a document that said he didn't have to wear want. that wasn't good enough for the police, according to mr. hill's, he was then detained in a quite well rambunctious manner by police officers. he was later released and then spoke in the parliament building himself as part of this debate. but alternative for germany on just the ones making accusations on wednesday. they're also having accusations made against them. this is after some protesters it seems,
9:04 am
got into the parliament building and harassed several politicians, including peter, out my of the german economy minister in a close ally of angle, a miracle that led to allegations from constantine who's from the free democratic party. that it was alternative for germany to let those protesters in. well, that debate is competent, doing empowerment over the amendment to the the protection against fiction act. i beg your pardon? i got there in the end. what this, what they're looking at doing is changing what power graph of the act that would allow, what it currently, advice to be basically trying to into law, to stiffen particular things concerning the wearing of masks, their social distancing orders to remain within your homes. now while it's being debated and it's been incredibly tense outside of the parliament building,
9:05 am
it's also been quite tense inside your to you. today's draft is in the parliament or government on the scale. a man seen in decades in some form or course own party had made these restrictions go against the constitution. merkel's draft concludes that the run, no alternative, typical mark which the reason alternative for germany. i did not. what we just saw was a drowning political force clutching at straws there drowning as a party because they have no topics, ideas and no answers of their own. who are not capable of creating or you can do is be against these radical friends outside have been calling to block the entrance to the parliament. and you just like them, want to block the way of lawmaking. you want to hold the whole institution of parliament through the mud because you hate it that your religion. you've got my will turn it if all you want is turmoil. it is expected that the amendment to the protection against infection act will be approved by members of the bundestag. but
9:06 am
those protesters outside certainly don't look like they're going anywhere any time soon. we'll be waiting to see what their reaction will be to that essentially strengthening of corona measures here in germany. ok, we'll keep an eye on all of that. thank you, peter. that was artie's peter, all of it there in berlin, and we do hope to speak to you a politician from the opposition party in germany, in a few minutes time protests of term violence in france following a draft security bill. meanwhile, to ban the publication of images of police with intent to cause them harm. the interior minister insists the bill will protect officers, but it has sparked outrage from rights campaigners to gas and water cannon have been fired in the french capital to disperse. angry crowds.
9:07 am
holderness as you can see, police vehicles are now moving down and pushing the protesters down that this street protest seems to come. i'm going against a global security lure to draw. 7 from real that's being discussed in the national assembly on tuesday evening. this is a mall 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 a criminal eyes,
9:08 am
ational of could lead to mourning amphoras who are in a 45000 new room. 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. thank you. i've seen women having their hay young to being used to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by police officers, medics being hit by police baton. 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,
9:09 am
who grabbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview and ejected from not crowds that you know, oh, my god, there was this protest by journalists who knows the law has been criticised by the un you are seeing times of its democratic consequences. 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,
9:10 am
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, showing the violence that's being used, that this is law, would essentially stop. 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 throwing towards them 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,
9:11 am
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 40000 year 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? 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 have no witnessed in doing anything well deserve some of the violence it i have observed this evening, john and see there on the streets of paris now a political analyst does believe that police should expect to be captured on camera
9:12 am
because there is something going on 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. but people are feeling today because we've seen in france and these past years, extreme violence, a lot of demonstrators, their only defense is to film the policemen, showing that this is my security, my insurance, that you won't get me up. if you do, i'm going to make sure that your face is on is an internet. i think it is extremely important. 'd that when 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,
9:13 am
which is important. now the world anti-doping agency has blasted the united states over a bill that could jail those involved in sports typing except in u.s. domestic leagues wada described it as double standards and a free pass for professional and college athletes in america. duping agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u.s. support. in particular, the professional leagues. in all college sport. 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 chank of act, the right of anti doping act of 2019 which strengthen 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
9:14 am
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 lawbook 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 hits 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.
9:15 am
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 right, and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake commercial on the price. 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 one quarter, that was a sports writer and broadcaster on the move that the u.s. does have a very different agenda to the one stated. this has nothing to do with lisa's
9:16 am
welfare or looking after us. if it did, it would be totally different stuff looking out for the 5 things, it's not like a no vote for the sponsors of the sport. it's simply looking out for the money interests of the hollanders, media, and government. it's nothing to do with r.c. whether because it was welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports in america would side of the meter water. but it won't do it because the owners of the big major sports teams to media networks to cover them. and the huge be massive is huge, an investor's in these sports want to help. and so does, has nothing to indicate whether this is simply about greed and the dollar watching a taste of that fetus out u.n. releases emergency funds, phoneticians to tackle hunger as a result of the 19 pandemic. we'll have the details just after the break
9:17 am
greater tempered, it is a symptom of exacerbating an alarming everyone who 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 fuel, instead of actual solutions that work shows seem wrong. why don't we all just don't call me world yet to shape out. these days comes to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart,
9:18 am
we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex, i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics, sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. welcome back to the u.n. has released emergency funds to countries facing severe hunger. as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, $100000000.00 will be used to tackle the social impact of covert 19 off for a warning from the world food program. many people in lower middle income countries were a few months ago were poor, were just about getting by and now find their livelihoods. have been destroyed. remittances that from workers abroad to the firmly, the home of all, for dried up causing immense hardship. as a result of hunger, it's
9:19 am
a skyrocketing around the world. a joint report by humanitarian organizations has found that lockdown restrictions have limited mobility dented incomes and hindered the process of receiving or sending money to family abroad. the authors say that faltering distribution systems have affected $800000000.00 people. well, last month the world bank did warn remittances to low and 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 programme. we spoke to a senior food security advisor from the un body. 19 had a compounding effect on the already deter, eating food security situation on the road. the pandemic hit at a time when hunger has been on the rise for all of our 4 constitutive number of years, mainly due to conflict, climate data charts and economic crisis. already in 2900,
9:20 am
more than 135 people were in food crisis, meaning that they don't know where their next meal is coming from. so all early on we estimated, actually, because of the pandemic that up to 270000000, people around the world could now become food insecure. different in secure, due to the negative social cannot make effects caused by the kind and you know, that 495000000 full time jobs have been lost as an immediate consequence of the pandemic. and it's often a behind the scenes look at the talks to end the conflict, the russian president explained the peace deal between armenia and there's a big could have been reached weeks ago. but one of the nations was reluctant to stop fighting. not on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president aliyev and prime minister passion
9:21 am
yann. 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, but his obligatory condition was the return of refugees, including to shusha. then unexpectedly, for me, the position of 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 for the truce is widely seen as a capitulation in armenia, though triggering protests and demands that the prime minister quits. there is a very different need in his opinion, which is celebrated deal will keep its military gains and later this month also receive 3 of the districts in the disputed cata back region historian gerald horne told us, the armenian premiers, you turn on a truce cost international support,
9:22 am
keep in mind when the prime minister or her mania went into this war, this conflict with those that is left to the deaths of thousands to the maiming and injuries of tunes of thousands to the creation of displaced persons and refugees. a significant percentage or a 1000000 population. not to mention, there were many aspirants 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 a number of there were millions who were cheering on the prime minister when he wanted this conflict, or when he entered into this conflict, now are ready to take the nearest and close this refugees. meanwhile, do you continue to return to cattle back under the protection of russian page keepers. on change day 500,
9:23 am
armenians travelled back to their homes. having fled the fighting 1700. people have now gone back to the king cities to panic at an express thanks to the russian support. we feel that we aren't alone anymore. we're supported. 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. the 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 armenian and he said retreating catarrh back. but against the census 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
9:24 am
a nightmare. routes lined with bodies and bombs burned and blasted vehicles after weeks of failure. as she's filed 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 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 seized monitoring stations that have been set up here in the go in the car bomb is that they are neutral territories. their areas where 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,
9:25 am
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 that really gets you so far, but they shine that is getting those who waged war to build peace, to that end, humanitarian groups of flux to care about the red cross being at the forefront. now rudes and passes once littered with bodies and traps and mines a safe again. but what breeds even more optimism, is that armenians that was hit by john. these can gather at the same place and talk
9:26 am
if through russian peacekeepers more i guess day of the garden. and that brings the end of the news wrap for this hour. that side of things are looking more for mass in about $35.00 days during the vietnam war. u.s. forces also bombs, neighbor, unless there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know about our country per capita. human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country. even today kids and loves fall victim to bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for their tragedy and
9:27 am
help to the people need in that little land of it was always on the bull, but the most national. a big city, bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers to play with and to it's also a city where up 230-0000 crimes are committed every day for the last one, but it will be your most still to the result least one police officer, 200 residents in russia's capital lost on the list, i think that i will not go up to assume that it was going to last
9:28 am
climax, keyser, one more of my guide to financial survival. this is on a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right. these has flaws. are simply not accountable, and we're just getting more and more to them. destabilize the global economy, you need to protect yourself and get informed. watch guys or i'm action or times you were going on the ground, 2 weeks to the day the usa was supposed to declare a president. and as president,
