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 and lease 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, miserable, and go home on their own volition. that hasn't worked for a hardcore nucleus low who've remained and continue in a standoff with, with police officers. now we also saw one of the politicians both the understand

who 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 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, 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 merkel wish. but the reason alternative for germany is that what we just saw was a drowning political force clutching at straws. they are drowning as a party because they have no topics,
5:05 pm
ideas and no answers of their own. you 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's your real agenda. 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. sions. 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 bed to start going to seems opposition to the law is far reaching. it's not only our party,
5:06 pm
it's not only the members of the parliament. there are so many, many people on the streets of all saw experts, law experts and university teachers. if you cannot suspend the basic your rights, such as freedom of assembly or the right to privacy, does this very serious violation of the chairman constitution. the way this law is, the wrath through the journalists is just completely, exactly. normally, you would have is gushing about this, you would have, maybe the society is saying wish measures are brought it, and the scientists and politicians on one table. but here it is just the government nadim, including the opposition parties in the discussions and rallying this law through going as you well dad to see has blasted the u.s.,

over a bill that could jail those involved in sports doping except in u.s., domestic leagues. so want to describe to this double standards and a free pass for professional college athletes in america world and you 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, a chink 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
5:08 pm
outlines some hefty 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.
5:09 pm
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, mary. kay. 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, the suits their agenda will try to improve college town and more war. as the u.s. still has a very different agendas, the one actually stated this has nothing to do with lee's welfare or looking after cheese. if it did,
5:10 pm
it would be totally different. it's not going to be for the farms. it's not going to vote for the sponsors of the sport. it's simply looking out for the money interests of the hollanders, media and government is nothing to do with r.c. . whether because it was r.c. welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports in america would sign of the meeting to water. but you won't do it, or because the owners of the big major sports teams to me. networks who cover them and a huge be massive is huge and investors in these sports won't get them. so does, has nothing to argue whether this is simply about greed. and the dollar protests have violent in fronds 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 our offices, but nevertheless it sparked outrage from rights. campaigners take gas and water
5:11 pm
cannon were fired in the french capital does pass angry crowds on cheese day he was in the thick of the protest was actually on the receiving end of some peace, manhandling. one of the camera crew was shoved away while filming the protestors. so what's it all about? these so-called global security bill aims to ban the dissemination of images that would make police officers identifiable for, quote, malicious purposes. the offense could mean a year and present,
5:12 pm
or $45000.00 euro fine. the bill has attracted criticism from the un's commission for human rights, as well as 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. while we discuss this controversial bill with a couple of front violence may be used within the framework of the law where there is self-defense, or if the use is strictly necessary and proportionate. and but only only the possibility of filming freely without constraints gives these guarantees. but the rockets are 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,
5:13 pm
as it has unfortunately often experienced in its past. i'm sorry to say that journalism is the cornerstone of a healthy society. you wouldn't have if you're familiar with the case of alexander ben, allow the bodyguard of president mccraw or you would have george floyd. if people did not film those events, you would know. and if you don't know, you sleep into dark areas and, and that, 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 from the me 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 ape of the tension between the journalists and the police. and i
5:14 pm
don't see it happening. the press in france as they call it, the 4th hour it's, it's very complicated to go by past well ahead to a new poll shows, navy hall for britain's want to post $9000.00 vaccine to be compulsory. with one senior warning on 2 boxes could be found from the workplace and even the process we bring you the details of this will break the results of the u.s. election cycle that surprised many. there was no blue wave and the g.o.p. is games for all across the board. both parties have deep internal divisions and the court is in both parties. thanks. poppy was challenges. this is the perfect
5:15 pm
recipe for a political deal like hello
5:16 pm
. well, let's talk about coping 1000 a little bit more. some nations are beginning to gauge public opinion on facts in, asia. in the u.k., almost a hollywood people would support making the mandatory that's according to a recent government. on despite more than one 3rd of britain's still opposing it, one senior m.p. has said those who refuse the job should expect to be banned from public places. 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. the tory politician, one told, to suggest that the use of public transport should also require passengers to be vaccinated. a backlash followed online though some have been questioning the safety of the anti co. the drug was highlighted, the possible divisions that could emerge from making it mandatory. so wanting great
5:17 pm
britain, the idea is still being bounced around. some nations in europe are already putting a road map in place to make the vaccination compulsory and denmark. a new academic rule could become a pumpkin and feature and allow police to administer the job by force for certain people groups. well, that's triggered widespread protests with reports now suggesting that copenhagen catch in fact, chalk on the plan. we took the idea of mandatory vaccinations, top panel of tax on sunday was against vaccinations on one city. my son was partly the situation since we should hold these parts. nations were necessary, but since cheney is still human, heart should be approved yet. so this law is being fast tracked and also great bizzare are the same governments ensuring that people cannot sue them, or we've actually gotten school anything which happens more. and he's as
5:18 pm
a result of this foxy. i think that we're in a real situation and that, you know, 56 years ago when you make a choice of whether or not you have actually in rio raised a major threat, make it public no written by the and their frightening government is not really right. speeding things up, people are worried that this essentially is kind of straying into the area of true cousin and nor a bit of an authoritarian tends to it. what do you respond to people who allege 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 backs nation. so there isn't a more,
5:19 pm
a lot of people or mistrust who are going back in because, you know, people are saying, well, there's all these big pharmaceutical companies coming in. they make remote their money on it. who knows what's really behind them. so now actually there's, there is fission, and i would be right if they were dark fish and know only my view, i think there and, and he's waiting there and creating an issue where those, that work like myself really want to go ahead with this vaccine. that are getting direct bigger and better marks in martin the meantime, you're beginning to convince the rest of the population of the worst thing that you can do is use chords that were simply confirm recruitments drugs that were actually create cranmore problem in the long run. and that if you read a little bit, basically it's the same discourse actually should, because if you can get over her total public transport going to rush or to work, or if you thought about actually, which are most people going, she'd meet, we, or,
5:20 pm
you know, totes of totalitarian states, if we got a hold on treatment rather than vaccination and we kept doing what we're all trying to do when mosques, why glove social distance is not not enough. or too, we really need to stray into as people are saying, this realm of tacoma, nor stepping in a stepping on the toes of people's liberties. well, i think if you do, we are already seeing on people who really i would rather not wear my american who i don't know who should do this and risk and i would rather have actually done so with millions of people that i go through background. you know, or actually very happy to go to the rocks the in the, 000 or about to go back to a normal real world is through the present circumstance, which because i'm a liberal, you go with it. so 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 again hit the army in capital this wednesday of the peace deal for nagorno-karabakh demonstrations in yerevan have split. however, both in support and against the prime minister, i thought he signed a truce for the disputed region with azerbaijan. just over a week ago, the prime minister supporters gathered in the central square. however, the premier himself came out to meet them, asking the crowd to return home so implying that there was no state on the capital's freedom square. however, a demonstration calling for passion and to resign was staged. the ceasefire agreement has been widely seen as a form of surrender to armenia, according to its terms as a by john will keep its military gains on later this month will also receive 3 other districts in the disputed region. russian peacekeepers have reopened the only road length between armenia and the road in the region to ensure the safe return of

5:23 pm
been set up here in the go in the code above 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 that really gets you so far. but they shine that he's getting those who waged war to build peace. to that then humanitarian groups if flocked to care about the red
5:24 pm

and proud that we have friends like this that help us and don't leave us in trouble . president putin's explained in a recent interview why moscow is idea peace discussions with the armenian as our leaders and it up being stalled. not on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president aliyev and prime minister passion yan. 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, including to shusha. then unexpectedly, for me, the position of 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,

5:29 pm
back to school, which side will have the strongest appeal greater transferred, it is a symptom of excessive, babying, and alarming everyone mindlessly. i don't fortunately what that means, those we end up making solutions that cost a lot, but actually do very little. it's just a kind of feel good solutions instead of the actual solutions that were tricks, global warming. hello and welcome to cross top, where all things are considered on peter limbo. the results of the u.s.
