it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. germany adopts a controversial new law, beefing up the country's lockdown powers. thousands are out in force though, calling it unconstitutional as protests turned violent in central berlin. the world anti-doping agency blasts, the u.s. for double standards after the senate backs a bill to jail. those behind doping in sport spot, america's domestic leagues, get a free pass. meanwhile, violence on the streets of paris, france debates

a bill to ban publishing, images of police that could have malicious consequences. we all cells, quote, full simply shocked out by the police, my cameraman grabbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview. 00. 00. any time of the day, anywhere in the world broadcasting live from moscow, it's our chief international. i'm donald quarter with you here in the studio. welcome to the program. now germany has adopted a new law allowing its authorities to impose tougher coronavirus related restrictions, but it didn't pass without incident inside the bundestag and peace taunted each other while outside protesters against the law clashed with riot police. who blasted them with water cannons? it's already say almost 200 people have been detained and 9 officers injured

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, 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, miserable,

and go home on their own volition. that hasn't worked for a hardcore nucleus though, who've remained in continue in a standoff with, with police offices. now we also saw one of the politicians over the understand getting involved in this for a car that's been going on. cost him his who's a member of the alternative for germany and a member of the bundestag shared a video which alternative for germany. his party on this day he'll say, show him being confronted by police officers for not wearing a mask. he then produced a documents that he says gives to me a medical exemption from wearing a mask. the police weren't accepting not him. he was taken away in a very forceful manner, but alternative to germany are 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 pizza altmire. the free democrats have suggested that it was alternative for germany to let those people into the building, those on the 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 rom no alternatives, typical markowitz. but the reason alternative for germany is not 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 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 passed, 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 were from party members on both sides of the border star going to seems opposition to this law is far reaching. it's not only our prophet, it's not only the members of the parliament. there are also many, many people on the streets of experts, law experts and going to visit to teach us if you cannot suspend to 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 ratch through the journalist community, exactly. normally, you would have, it is, gosh, this, you would have many pots of the society is nothing. wish measures are good. and the scientists and politicians on one table. but here it is just the government,

not even a clue to the opposition parties in the discussions. and wrapping this law through the gloom, as the world anti doping agency has blasted the us over a bill that could imprison people involved in sports doping except in u.s. . domestic league swat, a described as double standards and a free pass for professional and college athletes in america. i took a deeper look at the issue and you duping agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes the 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, 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. is 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. he treats 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, ok. 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. sports writer and broadcaster alan moore warns that this us bill has an agenda very different to the one previously stated. this has nothing to

do with lee's welfare or looking after us. if it did, it would be totally different. stuff like a note for the it's not going to vote for the sponsors of the sports. 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. all of the major league sports in america would sign of the mishti to water, but you won't do it because the owners of the big major sports teams and media networks who cover them. and this huge be massive is huge and investors in these sports won't get them. so does has nothing to actually whether this is simply a boast, greed and the dollar revenues protests have turned violent and friends following a draft security bill to ban the publication of images of police taken with the

intent to cause them harm. the interior minister insists the bill will protect officers, but it sparked outrage from human rights. campaigners tear gas and water cannons were what were fired in the french capital to disperse the angry crowds. on tuesday our correspondent was in the thick of the protest and was on the receiving end of some police man handling. one of the camera crew was shoved away while filming the

protesters. the 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 in prison or a $45000.00 euro fine. and the bill is attracted criticism from the un's commission for human rights and 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. we discussed the controversial bill with french journalists. violence may be used within the framework of the law where there is so thick 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 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 bridged 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 only if you're familiar with the case of alexander ben, allow 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, that article to me for, which is part of a long list about it cause or not 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 ovate of the tension between the journalists and the police. and i don't see it happening. the press in france as they call it, the 4th power. it's, it's very complicated to but that was covert $1000.00 measures in mind. some nations are beginning to gauge public, opinion on vaccinations. in the u.k., nearly half of all people would support making them mandatory according to a recent government survey. and despite more than one 3rd of british, people still being opposed to that one. senior m.p. has said, those who refuse the shot should it be expected 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 went on to suggest that the use of public

transport should also require passengers to be vaccinated. then there was a bit of online backlash. some have been questioning the safety of the n.t. cova drug, while others highlighted the possible divisions that could emerge from making it mandatory. while in denmark, a new epidemic law is being considered that could allow police to administer the vaccine by force to certain people or groups that's triggered. widespread protests with reports now suggesting that copenhagen could backtrack on the plan. we took the idea of mandatory vaccinations to a panel of experts on sunday north against vaccinations on one of city. my son was partly the situation since we should hurry. these parts nations were necessary to spot. since cheney is still human heart should be improved yet. so this law is being fast tracked. also, great bizzare, the pain governments are ensuring that people cannot sue them. and we've actually

gotten to school anything which happens. and he's as a result of this foxy, i think that we're in a real emergency situation and it's not like, you know, 56 years ago when you make a choice, you're a writer or not. you have actually in rio, raised 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 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 mistrust who are going back in because, you know, people are saying, well, there's all these big crowd through tickle companies coming in there, making loads of money on it. who knows what's really behind them. so now actually there is, there is sufficient and i would be right if they were christians openly my view, i think there and, and he baiting there and creating an issue where those that were like myself really wanted to go ahead the rock scene for getting dick bigger and bigger america needs . rotten mean crime. you can rent the operation because the worst thing that you can do is use chords that were simply confirm. people who destroyed their work to create quorum or call them in the long run. and then you can read a little bit, basically it's the same discourse actually should,

because if you can't get over her public transport, going to rush or towards if you thought about actually wish most people going to meet with your totally sober means. saint. 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 that not enough to be really need to stray into as people are saying, this realm of to konya north stepping and a stepping on the toes of people's liberties. well, i think if you could do you do we already know i would rather not win and now we're out of this and clearest. and i would do i do, and we've actually done so with millions of people that i go through social backgrounds, you know, are actually very happy to get their rocks the in the oh, who are about to go back to a normal real life is for that would be the present circumstance,

which they could literally go with it. so most people would actually do that liberating intervention. and i think it's very steely to say that we don't need iraq's new protests again hit the armenian capital this wednesday over the peace deal for demonstrations in your, of on have split. however, between those in support of and against the prime minister. that's after he signed a truce for the disputed region with i was about john just a few weeks ago. the prime minister's supporters gathered in a central square in year of on the premier himself came out to meet them, asking the crowds to return home. on the capital's freedom square, a demonstration calling for nicole pushing on to resign, took place a cease fire agreement has been widely seen as a form of surrender in armenia and according to its terms, observation will keep its military gains and later this month will also receive 3 other districts in the disputed carlebach region. russian peacekeepers have

reopened the only road link between armenia in the region to ensure the safe return of civilians their deployment is also lending support to cooperation efforts between armenian and troops in karbala. artie's more, i guess d. of has this report on the peacekeeping mission 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 was eventually reached in the 10th of november, it was full of compromise where armenia agreed to handover various territories. it controlled to a 0 by john, the last 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 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 then humanitarian groups of flux to care about the red cross being at the forefront

. now routes and passes once littered with bodies and traps and mines a safe again. but what breeds even more optimism, is that armenians that is headed by john. these can gather at the same place and talk ether through russian peacekeepers. more of guys d. of the golden. meanwhile, refugees are returning to karl bach. under the protection of russian peacekeepers. on tuesday, 500 armenians travelled back to their homes. having fled the fighting 1700, people have now gone back to the key city of step on a kurd, and expressed thanks for russian support. we feel that we aren't alone anymore. we're supporting it. we've been given our lives back. i'm happy that russia has

with me. i have nothing to lose 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. in a recent interview with president putin explained why moscow's earlier peace moves with our azerbaijan and armenia did not work out. you know, it's on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president aliyev and prime minister passion, yen. at that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained control over an insignificant southern part of caravan. in general, i managed to convince president aliyev that it was possible to stop the hostilities, but he's obligatory condition was the return of refugees, including to shusha. then unexpectedly, for me, the position of power on this 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. at least 9 people have been killed across central america in the devastation that brought was brought by hurricane iota, nicaragua, honduras, panama, and el salvador have all been hit hard with flooding that is forcing thousands of people to evacuate in colombia president. ivan duke. a reported that nearly 99 percent of infrastructure on the country's island. providence, you know, was damaged faster than light updates on your world news stories. make sure to check out our website, r.t. dot com and follow us on your favorite social media platform. that's all for now, but i'll be back with more in about 30 minutes. and i hope to see you then because she has money is something from the 20th century,

the 19th century in the 18th century. and it's being discerned to mediated or disrupted by bitcoin, which offers perfect price discovery. the price of is perfect. it's it mimics nature in that way. it's like the photosynthesis of money. it's a perfect price discovery. the perfect marc maker between risk and reward between consciousness and humanity. it's absolutely perfect and that's why people are running to it. now in the shilling family, when i was told seemed wrong. rowles just don't call me old yet to shape our disdain comes to attitude and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. the

new gold rush is underway in ghana. thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it rich. here's a good way out of those. now, you know, by those that work children are torn between gold. from me was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal? i was always on the bull, but i missed actually. big city, bright lights. you jump, but you know, jesus and many dangers goes live with the blade of atlanta. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed. every year goes before the full, the must win, but it will renew most. it's still through the reserve least one police officer

affect every 200 residents in russia's capital cost on the list. i think you lose loss. we all put in a little trickle that the will not go up boysen new moon, which it doesn't have to last. it seemed wrong, but all just don't call me old yet to say proud these days because attitude and engagement because betrayal when so many find themselves worlds apart, just to look for common ground. during

the vietnam war, u.s. forces also bombed neighboring laos. it was a secret war and for years the american people did not know how much mouth carry back to the country per capita. all human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger, lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn wieber thing going on a canal, it's happening there. even today, kids in laos, full victim to bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for that tragedy? and what help do the people need in that little land of mines? times are we going underground 2 weeks to the day the usa was supposed to declare

a president. and as president trump continues to allege electoral fraud in the most militarily powerful nation on earth coming up on the show as u.k. elite scramble to save the union, afterbirth johnson comments about local democracy is the lesson of the us election . a rejection of a 2 party system presenting voters with 2 shades of neoliberalism. we asked the green party's health spokesperson, larry sanders, brother of us democratic socialist presidential candidate. but the sun is about alleged dirty tricks of the d.n.c. in coronavirus catalyzed corruption. and as so-called, mainstream media reports emerge of tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from ethiopia, just done, possibly seeking asylum in europe. do a bombing here appointees from a possible biden presidency that alone the head of the w.h.o. battling coronavirus have to do it to grand bombing of eritrea and ethiopia, in one of the most strategically important regions on a all the small coming up in today's going underground but 1st, while so-called president elect joe biden continues to claim victory in president,

continues to claim fraud and his coronavirus debts in the usa approach 250000, could it be time for the country to consider another way of going forward, larry sanders is the brother of democratic socialist senator and former 2020, us presidential candidate, bernie sanders and the green party spokesman here on health and social care. he joins me now from larry. thanks for coming on. so how far do you think any result whoever wins the election was more a case of who the u.s. public didn't want to occupy the white house rather than did want to occupy that house in pennsylvania avenue where the very 1st thing i want biden is obviously not my choice for president and he's got lots of limitations or to defeat trump was a mass of the crew who democracy. i'm not sure everybody has been. i mean everybody pays attention roll is aware of what kind of person he is.
