join me every day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm showbusiness, i'll see you then clashes break out in central paris over security bill criminalizing the filming of french police officers. opponents say it will fuel police brutality and violate press freedom lawsuits by dressed. republicans claims democrats encouraged native americans in nevada to vote in exchange for gift cards. helping joe biden win the state. the next question, whether a new u.s. german vaccine will be viable saying the need to store it minus 70 degrees celsius
9:01 pm
isn't realistic. it's very important to maintain what you would call the cold chain extremely. otherwise, you are injecting people with substandard. the nature of the vaccine broadcasting from our studios, most of this is our to international. i'm sean thomas. truly glad to have you with us. on rest has a flared up in central paris over a new bill criminalizing the filming of police officers, as crowds gathered in the city center, they were pushed back with water. cannons was was
9:02 pm
thousands of people attended the rally in central paris and throughout the evening . the new restrictions have been approved by the national assembly, the lower house of parliament, and will later go to the senate. the reforms were drafted after a police station in southeast paris was stormed by a mob armed with firecrackers and metal bars. if passed, the so-called global security bill will ban the distribution of images in which police officers can be identified for malicious purposes. offenders could be jailed for a year or fined $45000.00 euros. the french interior minister says it is a vital measure to protect police and the journalists and citizens can film police as long as there is no ill intent. but the press freedom group. reporters without borders says that the devil is in the details. it's a good issue that he's going to be able to continue feeling. the answer is yes. are
9:03 pm
they going to be able to continue broadcasting? the answer is yes, us really is going to be allowed to film a police intervention, and the answer is yes. will the be able to afford to prosecute that? the answer is yes. intent is a concept that is open to interpretation and hard to determine any photos or video showing a dent feibel 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. civil liberties activists, yasser told us police brutality is widespread in france, and the latest measures will only make matters worse. you have to ask ourselves, what makes people act instead of taking the event itself,
9:04 pm
that passing further legislation and we have to remember we have 2 years of documented police brutality with the yellow vest movement. people getting maimed, losing their eyes a bit, getting beaten, broken bones, a shattered hands exception. and there we sponsor of the government is not to seek police accountability because the person in front is beyond accountability. but to make even make it even more difficult to expose the police brutality, we can not see. the government thinks that anytime we have a social problem, you pass legislation. we citizens have no oversight over the police. the only by the supervising the policeman for us is former police officer themselves. so this is not really a functioning democracy where the rule of law is a positive for what emanuel mccoy is doing. today. it is nothing short than an organized a sort on whatever was left, who has been left out of the rule of law and democracy in france. and we have seen continuous reports from the un or the authoritarian drift off the friendship of
9:05 pm
successive governments. so what's happening today is only a confirmation that this drift is not new, but only the related exposure that in many ways michael is no longer be feeling bounded by international treaties, or what he owes it to the people who brought him to power, let alone alone the french population, but france has become a police state a week before the u.s. state of nevada certifies its election results. republicans have filed a number of lawsuits to halt the process, citing irregularities and voter fraud. one claim alleges that native american voters were swayed by gifts through improper outreach programs by politically biased organizers. mainstream media has called nevada for joe biden by just 33000 votes. there are around 60000 voting age, native americans in the state. republicans claim that they were lured to vote democrat through a gift scheme by a left aligned nonprofit group,
9:06 pm
but the group denies any political leanings as artie's kill mop and comments in nevada's tribal areas. voter participation was being encouraged by a nonprofit, some very nice prizes. were handed out in order to encourage people to vote in the 2028 presidential election. there were even $500.00 gift cards. now the nevada native voting project said it had no agenda. it simply wanted to increase election participation. and because it did not seem to be partisan, the nevada indian commission, a state agency, had no problem getting involved on that of that indian commission. facebook page 6 posts offering gift cards of the a raffle share. in addition to that, the nevada indian commission offered its own prizes, raffling off 3 major pieces of art to those who voted. people may not be aware, but encouraging people to vote with rewards is illegal. whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person either to vote or withhold his vote,
9:07 pm
or to vote for or against any candidate shall be fined under this title or imprisoned. but nobody got the memo. and in fact, a reno sparks, indian colony official was even filmed handing out the loot. we have $25.00, $25.00 gift cards to round off and a lot of money. and here, the excuse is that this is simply a nonpartisan effort not aimed at helping any candidate or party. except there are indications to the contrary. nevada is a swing state and nevada has over 60000, registered native american voters that could really make the difference in our state's them make chain, get out of here, get them out. and harris, campaign swag. as you can see have mass, they have a t. shirt, sign stickers, all kinds of hand sanitizer. all right guys, you have it there, she has them biden said he's for you. i'm all to support it. and if they see,
9:08 pm
to get out the vote, get to the polls and vote partly his math. the facebook page of the native voter project even shared a post from an ngo called the native organizers alliance. and that made clear that their an aim was to flip the electoral map from red to blue. not surprisingly, a lawsuit was filed by the nevada republican party. there was scheme, side up to give voters something of value raffle tickets. t. shirts, other things like that if they would come in and vote something that violates federal law, something that violates nevada law. now the nevada native voter project says they didn't do anything wrong. they say that this was simply had nonpartisan effort to encourage voting. and furthermore, they point out that no member of their staff or any other volunteers ever attended any biden harris events. however, their statements did leave out those $500.00 gift cards. u.s. officials have actually condemned the government of venezuela for offering
9:09 pm
incentives to encourage voter participation. but in nevada, i guess it's ok. now keep in mind that native americans vote pretty consistently for the democratic party. it looks here like a state agency, was involved in a very targeted campaign to encourage vote participation from a constituency that leans a certain way. nothing reeks of clay and transparent elections than handing out valuable freebies and prizes to encourage certain people to vote in america. at least, you know, we, we don't think that there would be any corruption in our government. and so you would assume that this would be non party non-state actor or organization that was just corrupt and doing something wrong. so when we see things like in nevada, where you have the state authorities, you have a government authority participating in this scheme participating in these things that interfere with our election. that's what's been most troubling, i think for the american population, of course, and in other countries, people are used to governments that might be corrupt or to state officials that
9:10 pm
might be corrupt. and in america, we're finally starting to see that that has happened. that's the most troubling thing would nevada and the u.s. state of georgia has confirmed joe biden's victory after a hand recount. but that has not stopped. trump supporters keeping up the pressure . a major rally by trump supporters took place on saturday in atlanta, the state earlier certify, joe biden. the winner with a margin less than 13000 participants. now they held banners saying, stop the steel and election integrity matters. president trumps legal team maintains that there was a large scale of ballot fraud in the state, although their focus has now changed to other challenges. elsewhere. biden has slammed the trump team's efforts, calling them irresponsible, and he has repeatedly called for unity and an end to partisan warfare. but there are signs, not all of his supporters are on board with that message. no
9:11 pm
seriously. how do you deprogram 75000000 people? where do you start, fox, facebook. this is not your standard partisan policy disagreement. this is a conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality and basic decency . ready ready
9:12 pm
was 82 years ago christo nothing happened could lead to genocide against a whole identity after 4 years of a modern day assault on those same values by donald trump. 'd 'd by pledging to be a president who seeks not to divide,
9:13 pm
but unify. this is a time to heal in america. concerns are being raised over the technical challenges in distributing a major new coronavirus vaccine. pfizer and biotech have applied for emergency use of their job in the u.s. and say that they are ready for world wide distribution, but it will have to be stored and transported at minus 70 degrees celsius. we have already produced more than 20000000 doses in our cars and to continue as we speak, producing more and more. this is why we said that by the end of the year, which 5 weeks, we expect less 50000000 doses that you can distribute to the world. their reality is there has never been a drug that requires storage at this temperature is a logistical nightmare for rural communities. but no one is mean to the challenges, distributing the fax scene, photos for the medical industry. very few cargo companies have the capacity to
9:14 pm
transport goods at minus 70 which is colder than the south pole. in fact, many firms do not even have the facilities to reach minus 20 and that is not the only logistical challenge expected, particularly in poor and remote areas. pfizer and beyond tech plan to transport their vaccine in special temperature controlled containers which can be used for up to 10 days. they require dry ice, which is a hazardous material for longer term storage. ultra cold freezers would be needed, which very few hospitals, or pharmacies have. we spoke to a senior clinical lecturer at britain's university of exeter medical school. he says it is important for different vaccines to be created across the world to provide choice. but it's very important to maintain what you would call the cold chain extremely important. otherwise you are injecting people with substandard or the nature of vaccine, and it is
9:15 pm
a waste of time resources and everything else. so it is very, very important to make sure that the vaccines when they leave their loved oratory, where it is made to where the patient is going to receive it is maintained always at the right temperature. you either have to sell it is to transport them or you use other vaccines. and there is no reason to suspect that the other work scenes are inferior. once they're licensed, they're licensed and we know that they are good enough for the job. therefore, it's very good to know that there are also other vaccines made by other platforms, also coming on stream in given time. also dramatically changing how we do our shopping. thousands of british stores are now reportedly refusing to allow cash payment, fearing infection. pash is no longer king with contactless payments, bank transfers and direct debits all eclipsing cold, hard sterling,
9:16 pm
but it seems coverts haste in the demise, with one in 3, worried about notes and coins spreading. the virus we're moving in a so eventually will be a cashless society. what is done is accelerate the process and there may be some evidence cause some issues, but i think generally migrating to kashrus operation anyway. other countries are streets ahead in sweden. cash in circulation represents only one percent of, g.d.p. but while convenience is one thing, it's a big problem if it becomes the only way to pay. according to consumer group,, which there have been over $2500.00 reports of shops in the u.k., declining cash payments during the coronavirus crisis. 4 in 10 customers say they've had problems buying food or groceries and 20 percent claim they've left
9:17 pm
empty handed. it's most, some intimate, most keenly felt by how many people, because they are they don't have the infrastructure of the sort of the residence or the accounts to support participation in a mostly digital economy. cash really still has a role until and unless no one is executed from additional economy, you need those things, the mobile device, the bank account, even an address to participate fully. so i think that this is when the really does need to be addressed. for large businesses, cash, this makes sense, easy. bank transfers, no counting the takings more secure payments. and some believe many are using the pandemic as an excuse for the switch. and for some, it's also about giving customers options to take any payment off regular customers because i'm not looking for today's purchase. i'm looking for them tomorrow to build up a business. cash is always a safe, has paid,
9:18 pm
and the cards are regulated by limits. so in those limits are exposed, we could fall flat, we still need cash. we've already seen card fees being curtailed over the past few years and we'll probably see it more and more as more transactions go cashless and more pressure is put on regulators to do something about as much as having to pay this much, which in turn will drive the revenue from, from card fees down from a bank perspective, which has its own set of impacts, probably ultimately could see reza paying for it $1.00 way or another. the march to a cashless society might not matter to most or even be noticed for the moment. but if it means the fringes are increasingly left out in the cold, perhaps having a spare bit of change is no. the in thing, russia's foreign minister has warned against any attempts to undermine a peace agreement between armenia and azerbaijan. sergey lavrov met with the
9:19 pm
armenian leader in yerevan on saturday before heading to baku for talks with the president of russia on our correspondent, accompanied the russian delegation on its way from armenia to azerbaijan and brings us this report from the 2 capitals. so what does it take to cement a cease fire deal that possibly saved thousands and thousands of lives in mcgauran a car about 2 weeks after it was side trip to both the capitals of armenia and azerbaijan, within a single day by some of the most senior russian government ministers on a day that's supposed to be a day off saturday. stop number one, the presidential palace in yet
9:20 pm
but short we repeat that any attempt to cast doubt on the peace agreement, both in the region and in other countries is unacceptable. we'll spare no effort to make the truce work because it has helped save lives and prevented further hostilities, silencing the guns isn't by far the only element of bringing the life in nagorno-karabakh back to normal. russian government officials came to your yvonne with a plan to set up a special humanitarian response center in armenia to help with issues as painful as for example, that of refugees plus moscow also wants to get the relevant un bodies on board, which sends a message to critics of russia and the west, for example, that blamed russia for so to say,
9:21 pm
monopolizing the settlement of the nagorno-karabakh called stop. number 2, the presidential palace in, but cool azerbaijan, exactly 2 hours after the departure from here, the one that the russian top diplomat is met by the leader of us, or by john leave here and book who just like we did in the gary wagner. we heard government officials say how much they're thankful to moscow for making this cease fire deal possible. one of the most important points that was made as the russian government ministers sat down together with ilham aliyev at that table was that everything was only made possible because of how much all 3 sides were willing to avoid more lives being lost in the gore. in a car about and that is something important to be understood by the parties outside the region that are concerned about the actual terms of the ceasefire agreement.
9:22 pm
he has a crucial role in the area and in the region as a whole. we have an agreement with turkey, which is supported by his intervention to create a russian turkish monitoring sensor that will oversee compliance with the cease fire in the green car above and around it. this will be an extra factor that will ensure sustained peace, a process in which russian peacekeepers are playing a key role by the schedule and the geography of this trip. russia is showing like it did many times before that it's not taking sides in this conflict. the peace agreement to put an end to 7 weeks of deadly fighting in the contested mountainous region under its terms, baku will hold on to its military gains, and in addition, armenia has to hand over 3 other districts as well. around 2000, russian peacekeepers are in the area to enforce the truce. meanwhile, azerbaijan troops have entered the district in which was ceded to baku, as part of the peace deal event was celebrated at a local mosque with the 1st friday prayers there in 27 years,
9:23 pm
which is what i've got his in the area for us. in 1993, the city of ag dam was seized by armenian forces. the new population was evicted, expelled, and never since then. it has been a goose city. no one has lived there until now. a short bus ride later we had done what new journalist has dug in. years cross the front lines of the gold and they got up. this is the 1st time since the war began, that we've been able to get into territory that is controlled by the as yet by johnny army. and these, this was only yesterday under the control of pro armenian forces, as a result of the ceasefire. on the 10th of november that both sides and the armenia side as their budget on the side with the help of russian mediators. this area, city and province region were handed over peacefully by the armenian side to is it
9:24 pm
a budget item for them? this is a very big occasion because this mosque in the center of city has been a symbol of the war in the is it about johnny site 3 decades ago? 40000 people lived by johnnie's, who were expelled from the area, forced to leave, and have been refugees ever since. well, this was where i have just come back to my hometown. thank god. for 27 years i lived in exile. those barbarians destroyed our city. this is a landmark movement by john righteous and ceremonial. the 1st spread that mosque in 27 years learned that only the is it about john the military wouldn't speak to us in camera? well we got out of them is that justice had been done. was the vote of the question
9:25 pm
is if it doesn't ask you about it, then you come to that issue the publisher dumbell. so i'm going to have you do the kind of that book with his style to it, but it's a disservice just not special. but if there's still an incredible amount of work that needs to be done, the devil is in the details. this is why russian peacekeepers and their buddy forces that arrived during the night took the area over a meeting for hours on end. they need to sort out lines of control and where each outpost will be. but is it about john? the checkpoints will be manned by said by joining forces right next. the russian peacekeeper outposts back to back despite the number of peacekeepers and as yet about johnny troops and ag. there was little tension. soldiers and peacekeepers talked and joked. it's felt by all sides. the war is over
9:26 pm
we have good relations with both the armenians and as a result of those okie playing, the positions vacated by the armenian army. of course the conflicting saw it, but the conflict is over. for my part, i would like to say that i'm very glad that today we've sealed the deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan. i saw the decision has been taken as a result of analysis of the military situation and based on the sentiments of people who have been most for me, there are with at this point, the cease fire deal has been a success. refugees, flock back to their homes, heavy weaponry and everyone is meeting their obligations. there's no love lost to be sure. but with every new day there is less and less schools for another war. or i guess the of from the go to make because of for me this, i'll be back in the, say 33 and a half minutes with
9:27 pm
a look at your headlines this hour to international day with the newly elected us presidents invariably, vell to steer the country in a fresh, bold direction. this time those things may be a bit different, at least on foreign policy. joe biden has promised to reengage with allies and restore the us his position as leader of the democratic world. now, will the biden administration befall him on the global stage? will we see a new approach or a return to the old ways was always in the bull, but the most rational, big city bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers to blatantly to
9:28 pm
it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year for the last little bit more than your most of the reserves least one police officer for every $200.00 residents in russia's capital cost on the english and the truth that they will not go with the wind up boysen along with the most. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, confront, a shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very chaotic . it was time timed to said tom
9:29 pm
hello, welcome. redacted tonight is a comedy show. we're americans in america covering american news called foreign agents. ok, so now with the old man, joe transitioning, the president for those of you who were go easy on the democrats before the election, it's officially time to contact down or i will, we don't have time for pussyfooting around and no. 7 i have no idea where that expression came from. i don't know if a bunch of people were walking around or, or if they were sexually pleasing each other with their feet or, or maybe back, 700 years ago. they had little little dolls that look like the chinas with arms and feet, and a kid would play with them. i don't know, i have no idea. point is time to stop it. now the democrats have won. it's time to go back to calling them out on their crap cast of record. and if you're not like me,
9:30 pm
and you actually did give them a break for a few minutes, you know, you felt bad, because biden is a 100 years old and trying to run for president a young man's game. and trump is always hopped up on 19 japanese diet pills with fen phen and math. and so you thought poor old guy, give him a pass, get offended a few days. i get it, i get that you did that, but now it's over. so here are some questions for these democrats who will soon be dominating our government, whether they win the senate or not. number one, mr. president elect. what will you do for black lives? i'm not sure if you recall the black eyed matter protests were kind of a big deal this year and they started during obama's administration. so joe, will you even take us cap toward decreasing the that if the absorbent data insane. but nana's.
