things of ensuring that people who choose to go to school. and if you are trying to would be draconian. what would be too difficult on the wild country lost the us for a double standard. soft to the sound of banks, a bill to change all those behind paying and support except in america's domestically just going to love him here in the russian capital for myself and the whole team at all to his age cue. a very warm welcome to the program. good to see you. well, to start us off this, our job money has adopted a new law allowing its authorities to impose tougher coronavirus related
3:02 pm
restrictions. but it didn't pass without incident, as you can see behind me inside the bundestag, m.p.'s 20 child to walk outside. the situation that protest is against the rule, clashed with riot police, who responded with will to count on fuel. sorry to say almost 200 people have been detained, and 9 officers injured. 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 shrine them in law, 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,
3:03 pm
at least demonstrations turned quite nasty. what we saw was rockets, fireworks thrown at the police bottles, rocks, pepper spray. according to the police union being used against offices, there police returned with water cannon that was used to douse the crowds to try and essentially make them wet and miserable and go home on their own volition. that hasn't worked for a hardcore nucleus. low who have 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 been 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
3:04 pm
a very forceful manner. put alternative for 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 to let those people into the building. those allegations haven't being backed up 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 been quite tense outside of parliament and on the streets of berlin,
3:05 pm
also got a bit spicy in parliament in the bundestag during the debate. today's draft is in the parliament, a government on the scale you on seen in decades, even 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 what we just saw was a drowning political force clutching at straws, 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 law making. you want to hold the whole institution of parliament through the mud because you hate it that your religion. if 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,
3:06 pm
236, against, with 8 chins. but while that's past, what we have seen all wednesday is that there is a large number of people who are willing and are committed to coming out onto the streets to show how deeply unhappy they are with how the german government is handling this pandemic. we had from party members on both sides of the bundestag and it seems opposition to the law is pretty far reaching. it's not only our party, it's not only the members of the parliament. there are so many, many people on the streets until all saw experts, law experts and university teachers. just yesterday, professor of a group of charts said that the this law is absolutely constitutional. and you cannot suspend a basic your rights such as freedom of assembly or the right to privacy.
3:07 pm
does this very serious violation of the chairman constitution? the way this law's ratch through the journalists is just completely sacrilege to us . normally, you would have, it is gushing about this you would have maybe possibly the society is casting wish measures are and have the scientists and politicians on one table. but here it is just the government, not the human clue to the opposition parties in the discussions. and rallying this law through going as well, with 1000 measures and mind, some nations are beginning to gauge public opinion on the facts. and they said in, the u.k. almost half of all people would support making a man to train. that's according to a recent government southey. and despite more than one 3rd of britain's still opposing at one scene, m.p. has said to those who refuse the job should expect to be banned from public places
3:08 pm
. if vaccination works, and if we're confident safe and all indications so far are good, then i can certainly see the day when businesses say, look, you've got to return to the office and if you're not vaccinated, you're not coming in. for a politician went on to suggest that the use of public transport should also require possum. just to be frank sedated. a backlash followed online though some have been questioning the safety of the on t. covert drug, while others highlighted the possible divisions that could emerge from making it round tree. while en great britain, the idea is bounced around some nations in europe already putting a road map in place to make the vaccination compulsory in denmark, a new epidemic will could become a pub and feature and allow police to administer the job by fools for such some people groups, well it's triggered widespread protests with reports. now suggesting that copenhagen could actually backtrack on the plan. we took this idea of months to
3:09 pm
vaccinations to a panel of experts on sunday was against vaccinations on one city. my son was partly the situation since we should hurry, starts, nations were necessary. most boxing's cheney is to be approved yet. so this law is being fast tracked are also great. bizzare are the play. governments are ensuring that people cannot sue the manufacturers, will become poor or anything which happens and he's as a result of this foxy, i think that we're in a real emergency situation and you know, 56 years ago when you make a choice, there are none who have actually in rio raised their a major threat make a public health threat by the and their frightening government is not really right . in speeding things up, people are worried that this essentially is kind of straying into the area of
3:10 pm
triclosan and nor a bit of health or a terry intends to at. i want to respond to that to people who add to that. and let's assume for one moment we have the facts, a nation which is safe. what should we do with that vaccination? should be obliged people to have the vaccination. well, there is no law in the u.k. that the government could use at the moment to make you know, bigotry. in fact, the 984 act which comes closest to it actually prevents the government requiring people to undergo medical treatment or vaccination. so there isn't a more, a lot of people are restruck who are going back in because, you know, people are saying, well, there's all these big pharmaceutical companies coming in there making loads of money on it. who knows what's really behind them. so now actually there's, there is bishan and i would be right if they were dull fish and don't believe my view. i think there and, and he baiting there and creating an issue where those that were like myself,
3:11 pm
really wanted to go ahead. rocks are getting deck bigger and bigger. while in the meantime, you can really wreck the operation because the worst thing that you can do is use chords that were simply confirm. people who destroyed their work to create more cope with the long run. and if you read a little bit, basically it's the same discourse solution because if you can't cure were taught in public transport 2 words. if you think about actually which are most people's, i mean she'd meet your total rules state. if we got a hold on treatment rather than vaccination, and we kept doing what we're all trying to do, wear masks why gloves, social distance is not, not enough. we really need to stray into as people are saying, this realm of to konya north stepping in a stepping on the toes of people's liberties. well,
3:12 pm
i think if we continue to where we are already being on people who clearly i would rather not wear a mask and i would rather not socially this and clearest. and i would go out and actually answer with millions of writing. most people that i know you from your background, you know, are actually very happy to go there. actually in the hope that there will be allowed to go back to a normal real world instead of the present circumstance, which they call free kicks for freedom or liberty. go with it. so most people are reacting is a liberating intervention. and i think it's very steely to say that we don't need iraq's new protests have turned violent in front, following 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's part outrage from rights campaigners take acid. water cannon were fired in
3:13 pm
the french capital to disperse the anger crowds. on tuesday. our team was in the thick of the protests, turns out you're on the receiving end of some up police man trying to link one of the camera crew was shoved away while filming testers for the so-called global security bill aims to ban the dissemination of images that would make police officers identifiable, so malicious papa says the offense could mean a year in prison or $45000.00 euro fine. the bill has attracted criticism from the
3:14 pm
u.s. commission for human rights activist groups. 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. the controversial bill with the number of all french journalists. violence may be used within the framework of the law where there is so steep turns, or if the use is strictly necessary and proportionate. and but only only the possibility of filming freely without constraints gives these guarantees. but though the rockets are out of this low does not like the expression of police violence because he thinks that there is legitimate and illegitimate violence. i think in a nutshell, we can say that france is experiencing an authoritarian bonapartists rift, as it has unfortunately often experienced in its past. i'm sorry to say that journalism is the cornerstone of
3:15 pm
a healthy society. you wouldn't have if you're familiar with the case of alexander benar, the bodyguard of president mccall, or you would have george floyd. if people did not film those events, you would know. and if you don't know, you slip into dark areas and, and that article to $24.00, which is part of a, a long list about it, cause enough war is detrimental to journalism. there's already c.c.t.v. cameras everywhere. there's people for coming ever. everybody's got a cell phone, you cannot stop people from filming whether you like it or not. the truth will surface at one point. the only thing that this, this law, if by some miracle, it passes it will, it will and of 8 of the tension between the journalists and the police. and i don't see it happening. the press in france is a record the 4th power it's,
3:16 pm
it's very complicated to go bypass them still had 4 years as behind taping in support could face jail time or huge fines, but a new bill, any u.s. experience in its own domestic league. we looked into that in just a short moment when elvis chose seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't call me yet to shape out just to come out ahead and in detroit. because the trail, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground credo
3:17 pm
tempered it is an expansive baby, and alarming everyone who mindlessly manage to actually what that means is we end up making solutions that long, but actually do very little. it's just a kind of few good she's used instead of the actual solutions that were tricks. 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 show business. i'll see you then the while the anti doping agency has blasted the u.s. over a bill that could jail those involved in sports typing except in he,
3:18 pm
wes domestic needs want to describe his double standards on a free possible professional and college athletes in america. and you do bring 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 shank of act, the rather 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
3:19 pm
. 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,
3:20 pm
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 gray. 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 do it. washington's long made it clear they take doping in sports very seriously when of course, the suits their agenda will try to improve cost optimal warns the u.s. bill has a very different agenda to the one that this has nothing to do with lee's welfare or looking after she's told 3 different stuff i'm going to go through. the forums is that i'm going to vote for the sponsors of this court. it's simply
3:21 pm
looking out for the breathing money interests of the hollanders, media, and government to do with our see whether because it was our welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports. they never would sign of the beast into water, but you won't do that because the owners of the big major sports teams were to cover them when the huge be massive is huge and investors in these sports won't get them. so this has nothing to argue whether this is simply of those greed and the dollar. finally, for this hour protests again hit the armenian capital this wednesday over the peace deal for nagorno, karabakh. demonstrations and yerevan have split. however, both in support and it takes the prime minister that's after he signed a truce for the disputed region with azerbaijan. just over a week, the prime minister's supporters gathered in a central square. however,
3:22 pm
the premier himself came out to meet them, asking the crowd to return home, implying that there was no mood on the capital's freedom square demonstration, calling for nichole passion and to resign. all staged the cease fire agreement has been widely seen as a capitulation in armenia. according to the truce, azerbaijan will keep its military gains, and later this month also received 3 of the districts in the dispute scarpa region . part of a putin has given some insight into the peace talks that ended the conflict and stress. it was wrong to suggest the armenian premier had betrayed his country. you know, it's on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president. i live in prime minister passion. at that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained control over an insignificant southern part of care about. 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,
3:23 pm
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. no, we cannot agree to this. we will fight. therefore, accusations against him, of some kind of betrayal have no basis. refugees, meanwhile, continue to return to karbala under the protection of russian peacekeepers on tuesday, 500 on menials traveled back to their homes. having fled the fighting 1700, people have now gone back to the secure, to panic, cut 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 have nothing to do is 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
3:24 pm
leave us in trouble. russian peacekeepers have reopened the only road link between armenia and the region twin shore, the safe return of civilians. the mission has also helped him free of cooperation between on me and on us ari troops in karbala, where i gassed and sent us this report on the place. 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 filed was eventually reached on the 10th of november. it was full of compromise where armenia agreed to hand over the various territories. it controlled to was it a 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
3:25 pm
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 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 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
3:26 pm
end human, this area, groups of thoughts to care about the red cross being at the forefront. now routes and pauses once littered with bodies and traps and minds a safe. but what breeds even more optimism, is that i mean the exhibited by john. these can gather at the same place and talk if put out through russian peacekeepers more. i guess dia of the golden that brings you up to date on the big stories. thanks for choosing our team today. coming your way. now it's crossed all my mask eyes are one more of my guide to financial survival. this is fun. it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right. these hedge
