germany adopts a controversial new law all beefing up the country's role in the force so poorly. it unconstitutional. this protest from central violence on the streets of paris to his friends, to the bites of bill to ban publishing, images of police with the intent to harm them. a correspondent was caught up in the trouble. we all cells forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman grabbed by offices. while he was filming,

while we were trying to do an interview. on the scene blast the united states for the senate backs a bill led to jail behind the school to set in america's domestically so they get even you watching r t international germany has adopted a new law allowing its authorities to impose tough coronavirus related restrictions . but it didn't pass without incident because inside the bundestag taunted each other while outside the situation. didn't protesters against the wall clashed with riot police, who responded with water cannon? the authorities say that almost 200 people have been detained in offices injured.

i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, well, what we were looking out was the amendment to the protection against infection act . what we had was a series of points that were essentially government advice. what this amendment would do, would in trying them even more. that's what drew people out onto the streets. we're hearing as many as 14000 from some police sources. that may have been out on the streets of berlin, at least demonstrations turned quite nasty. what we saw was, what could spy works thrown at the police bottles and rocks, pepper spray, according to the police union be used against officers, there police returned with water cannon that was used to douse the crowds to try and essentially make them wet, miserable, and go home on their own volition that hasn't worked for a hardcore nucleus,

though we've remained and continue in a standoff with, with police officers. now we also saw one of the politicians of the understand getting involved in this for a car that's being going on cost him his who's a member of alternative for germany and a member of the bundestag shared a video which alternative for germany. his party on mr. hill say, show him being confronted by police officers for not wearing a mask. he then produced a documents that he says gives a me a medical exemption from wearing a mask. the police weren't accepting not him. he was taken away in a very forceful manner. put alternative to germany on just making accusations based on that video. they're also being the subject of some accusations. this is after a number of protesters seemingly gained access to the bundestag and they were able to harass a number of politicians, including german economy minister,

a close ally of peta altmire. the free democrats have suggested that it was alternative for germany who let those people into the building measure allegations . but as of yet, but what it all comes down to is the points that are included in this amendment to the law. basically, it will allow orders to stay home, forcing to people being forced to wear face coverings, and people being ordered to social distance will now be enshrined in german law. now, while it's being quite tense, outside of parliament and on the streets of berlin, also go a bit spicy in parliament in the bundestag during the debate. today's draft is an empowerment of government on the scale you on seen in decades in some from merkel's own party, had made these restrictions go against the constitution. merkel's drop concludes that the run, no alternatives, typical markowitz. but the reason alternative for germany is not what we

just saw was a drowning political force clutching at straws. they are drowning as a party because they have no topics, ideas and no answers of their own who are not capable of creating. all you can do is be against your 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. well, the amendment to the act went through 415 members of the bundestag in favor, 236, against with 8 stanchions. but while that's passed, what we have seen on wednesday is that there is a large people who, while willing, and are committed to coming out onto the street show how unhappy they are with how the german government is handling this pandemic. meanwhile,

protests have turned violent too in france, following a draft security bill there 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 sparked outrage from rights campaigners tear gas and water cannon have been fired in the french capital to disperse. angry crags holderness. as you can see,

police vehicles are moving down and pushing the protesters down that this street protests since you've come a time comes to global security lure to draw. 7 for 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 over police offices. if there is intent to harm criminalizing shoot, all right, could lead to mourning amphoras around after 45000 euros. 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 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 ejected from not crowds that you know, 0. 7 my god, not that this part just by journalists who knows, the law has been criticised by the un you are seeing terms 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. 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 been 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, 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? 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 not witnessed them doing anything to well deserve some of the violence it i've observed this evening in ski, their reporting of the streets of paris, say yes, that evening. let's go back to our top story and the german parliament, which has passed a law beefing up. the authorities knocked down powers there. something which has seen though an outpouring of protests in berlin today. many thousands clashed with riot police over the new legislation, and we can talk about it. he's the a.f.p. foreign policy speak at the bundestag, very grateful that you've got time to speak to mrs afternoon. just run through then i know your party's very outspoken about this law. what's wrong with it in your

opinion? oh, it's not only our party, it's not only the members of the parliament. there are so many, many people on the streets and all saw experts, law experts and university teachers. just yesterday, professor rupert childs said that this law is absolutely constitutional. and you cannot suspend, basically rides such as freedom of assembly or the right to privacy. does this very serious violation of the german constitution and just looking at the wording as far as i've seen it. there, it seems to say, authorities are now allowed to do whatever they deem necessary to combat covert 19 . it seems to be very vague. i have, i mean we have, i was just looking for the number,

we have exactly 3564 cove. it patients in the you have in germany by a population of 83 millions. so there is no pandemic. there is no such situation which would allow such heavy heavy violations of basic a loss. c so what's the argument for it then being the brain, it's being debated in parliament. what are they saying that a rule for this? well, i'm not going to talk for do government and hope. of course, they are saying that that there is a corona pandemic, that they would like to, to protect the people, even in the name of the law, saying this is the protection of the people. but just a look to the left side. what you see,

how the cover meant is protecting the people. the government is already now sending polies and beating the people just because they are friendly demonstrating for. ready their arrives and you see the heavy machinery with what they use against the friend 3 friendly demonstrations. it's one thing having a war, isn't it? but it's another thing making people a base, sorry, go on demonstration. i do apologize. i think we've just lost our connection, there would be biased and he was the foreign policy speaker, the bundestag minister, speaking about a new law that does give the government many more new powers in imposing law bans in berlin. i don't know if we'll get him back if we can all go to him. now in the meantime, the world anti-doping agency has blasted the u.s. over a bill that could jail those involved in sports doping except in the united states

. domestic leagues, where there has 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, and 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 chunk 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 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, it's 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 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 know washington's long made it clear, they take doping in sports very seriously. when of course it suits their agenda on course that one sports writer and broadcaster rather more does want to the us bill has a very different agenda to the one stated this has nothing to do with lee's welfare or looking after cheese. if it did, it would be told the 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 money interests. and there's media and government is not in to do with our welfare because it was our welfare. they would have brought it in across the board. so all the major league sports in america would sign of the mishti to water. but you won't do that because the owners of the big major sports teams, immediate networks to cover them. and the huge be massive. it's usually the best years in these sports won't happen. so this has nothing to do actually, whether it is simply about greed and the dollar nothing you say tonight, protests are ongoing. neon, meaning capitol, a with a peace deal from the go and i can back demonstrations and yet have an a split. however, in support and against the prime minister, after he signed a treaty, the disputed region with is a big well, these are some of the latest pictures from the capital gathering there, calling for the country's leader to resign. the cease fire agreement has been

widely thing is a capitulation in armenia. and according to the truce is a peace, john will keep its military gains and later this month to receive 3 other districts in the disputed can about creation. let me put it in, has given some insight into the peace talks that ended the conflict and did stress though is wrong to suggest the armenian premier betrayed his country. on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president i live in prime minister passion yan . at that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained control over an insignificant southern part of carabao. 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 our armenian partners was formulated in such a way that it was unacceptable for them that the prime minister told me back then.

no, we cannot agree to this. we will fight. therefore, accusations against him, of some kind of betrayal, have no basis. refugees, meanwhile, do continue to return to canada back under the protection of russian peacekeepers to stay 500 armenians, travel back to their homes. having fled the fighting 1700. people have now gone back to the cities to panic and express thanks for 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've nothing to always 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. well, russian peacekeepers have reopened the link between armenia and the region to ensure the safe return of civilians. mission has also helped improve cooperation

between armenians and is eating troops and cattle back. but you have sent this report on the peacekeeping efforts. 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 0 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 their 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. 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 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, routes and passes. once littered with bodies traps that my it's a safe week. but what breeds even more optimism, is that armenians that was hit by. jarred, these can gather at the same place and talk if through russian peacekeepers more, i guess, day of the god, the un 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 k. with 19, after a warning from the world food program. many people in lower middle income countries who 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 firm leave the home of also dried up, causing immense hardship as a result of hunger. it's a skyrocketing around the world. a short report by humanitarian organizations has

found locked down 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 also affected $800000000.00 people. now, last month, the world bank did warn too that remittances to low and middle income countries could tumble in the wake of the pandemic. and that could leave an additional 33000000, people at risk of hunger, according to the world food programme we speak. we spoke to a senior food security advisor from the un body. kuwait 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 4 consecutive number of years, mainly due to conflict, climate data chunks and the economy 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 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 has been lost as an immediate consequence of the pandemic. and that is the news for now. here are not international sask, it'll be here at the top of the hour to keep you updated throughout. the greater trends are going to say. simpson, exacerbating alarming everyone who mindlessly actually what that means is we

end up picking solutions that cost a lot, but actually drink very little. instead of the actual solutions that work during the vietnam war, u.s. forces there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know the mouse country per capita, human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn wieber even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for the tragedy and help to the people in that little land on

seemed wrong to me. to shape out, become active and engaged in the trail. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led to direct?

what is truth? what is faith? in a world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallowness. big city bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers. like any capital city, moscow's standard of living, comfort and growth rates attract people from all over the country and beyond. and they all come with different intentions. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year

from those in the middle to the last. it's also not a national side, some of the richest of the book. it's thought that there was at least one police officer for every 200 of the 12000000 residents in russia's capital on our wish. it never occurred to me that the another with a coming in without these people in uniform must go just couldn't develop as fast as it does. and it wouldn't be moscow as we know it. growth of growth for a song to be

a fairly good hand to hand drug dealing is old school, illegal websites, selling narcotics in russia, make annual profits of at least 1500000000 rubles. and the vast majority of those conducted in moscow, i don't want to show, you know, there's been a chef this is a special police support for the russian interior ministry's drug control.
