when away and forced adoption with my own group, it is a feeling that to this day mothers still search for grown children. well, look, you know, hope for the best parents. paris sees a new wave of civil unrest. as the french government pushes for a law, making it a criminal offense to publish images of police. our correspondent was caught up in the chaos. we all cells full simply shocked out by the police, my cameraman, who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview. also this hour an australian military inquiry uncovers a series of a rift. the killings by the country's forces in afghanistan,

dozens of civilians are believed to have been tortured and killed. plus the world anti-doping agency accuses the us of double standards after the senate passes a bill to jail those behind doping in sport except in american leagues. and rescuers from countries including russia and help refugees to return to the disputed region and rebuild their lives. but many find their homes in ruins. every day we drive by this house and it's a sad sight, every adult gardenia house that's been destroyed and the family. but isn't this a welcome to the weekly here on our team international, where we bring you the top stories from the past week. a french bill intended to

protect the police, has sparked outrage and several days of rioting in paris. new measures would criminalize the filming of officers if it's done with malicious intent as been passed by the national assembly and will later go to the senate for approval. holderness. as you can see, police vehicles are now moving down and pushing the protesters down that the street protesters who've come, i'm can't 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 officers. if there is intent to harm criminalizing soon, all of could lead to mourning amphoras around a $45000.00 euro. thank you. thank you for help. i've seen women having their hay young to being used to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by police officers, medics being hit by police baton. and in fact, as we were just at the metro station filming some of the violence against the

protesters, we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman, who grabbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview and objected from not crowd that. oh, my god, the images over the police are protests, have been used time and time again. shown the violence that's been used that this law would essentially stop. that's what unions say. they say that it is censorship . however, the government says this noor 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 thrown into woods and fires being lit. we have seen destruction here on the streets of paris with 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 the reality is it is been a brutal like with violence from both sides, but from where we have stood, the violence has been mainly coming from the police to watch protesters who for the most part we have witnessed them doing anything to deserve some of the violence. i've observed this evening, journalists are non-governmental, organizations have lashed out at the law and the u.n. has called it a threat to freedom of expression. we discussed the reforms with french members of the press. violence may be used within the framework of the law where there is so stiff sounds, 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 rebel turnout of this is 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 a healthy society. you wouldn't have if you're familiar with the case of alexander ben, are the bodyguard of president mccall, or you would have george floyd if people do not film those dividends. you wouldn't know anything, don't know. you slip into dog, you know, use in. and that article talk and he forward, which is part of a,

along with the body, cause in that war is, is detrimental to journalism. there's already c.c.t.v. cameras everywhere. there's people from coming over the everybody's got a cell phone. you cannot stop people from filming blood lust and competition. killing may have provoked australian special forces to murder dozens of afghan civilians. that's according to an inquiry. and some killings appear to have been part of a horrific initiation ritual. for new troops. there was credible information. the junior soldiers were required by their patrol commanders to shoot a prisoner in order to achieve the soldier's 1st kill in a practice that was known as bloody special forces inside has pointed to a number of deeply concerning norms within australian special forces, including the shift from unacceptable behavior to war crimes the glorifying of these crimes as being a good soldier, competition, killing, and blood lust. the afghan foreign ministry has described the murders as

unforgivable and call for justice to be served. for many afghans already scarred by years of war and regular reports of war crimes by the u.s. led coalition, the findings came as no surprise. afghans were killed as if our blood was worthless . the foreign soldiers come here to serve their own interests, not to help us. in apology is not the solution. the afghan government must make sure that no foreign soldier can get away with killing afghans. the american soldiers killed many afghans in the past and the u.s. would condemn the actions of its soldiers. but then do nothing about it. i am sure the same will happen, australia, because for them, one of the soldiers is worth a 1000000. afghans like australian officials, have condemned the atrocities by their special forces. but as artists go explained, nothing seems to change. after each such inquiry that those coming to fight terror in afghanistan becoming a source of terror themselves. 2 eggs, australia,

and afghanistan, thousands of kilometers apart. one, a very keen to help the other. we remind committed to assisting afghanistan in resisting it. terrorism. resisting the taliban forces providing in cooperation with other countries. i label of stability and to live the lives curity . as it you'll, country can build for itself a strong and prosperous and secure future. it took the australian prime minister a bit more than 13 hours to fly over to kabul to say all that a bit more than 13 years ago. by then, australian troops had already been engaged in the war torn country for several years, almost 20 years ago since the aussies got involved. their number one military man

has no other choice, but to say, sorry, i sincerely and unreservedly apologize for any wrongdoing. by a stray in soldiers. i say no choice because allegations of 39 civilian deaths at the hands of his defense force as a result of blood lust and competition. killing deserve an apology or actually much more than that large parts of the military report. we can't even read their blacked out, but even what's available, sounds horrendous and disgusting. this shameful record includes alleged instances in which new patrol in the members were coerced, to shoot a prisoner in order to achieve that soldier's 1st kewl in an appalling practice known as bloody atrocities. ranged from reports of troops killing a 6 year old child and a house raid to a prisoner being shot dead to save space and

a helicopter apology given measures to be taken culprits to be punished. compensation to be paid. but just think of how many times since 2001, we heard the same kind of stuff from the kolisch. it was just one of the course. president obama spoke by telephone to apologize and express his condolences for the m.s.f. staff and patients who were killed and injured. sincere apologies for any offense this may have caused by apologies to the president of afghanistan. and we will make sure that anybody who was involved is held fully accountable with the full force of the law. it all makes you wonder, just how many more thousands of deaths or command forepaws were still unaware of, especially when it's revealed how much the people in charge were in denial about

what they were doing. the problem is there is a disincentive really to tell the truth, we have created an incentive to almost require or for people to la. so well the latest report that left the aussies red faced lead 20 strategic consequences and military mindset. u. turns, well, judging by how badly trumps plans to cut the troop presence in afghanistan have been received. is just wishful thinking for now. we've been in afghanistan for almost 20 years and no need to. i want to stay any longer than necessary. but at the same time, the price for leaving too soon, or in including 1000 when he could be very high in afghanistan, risk becoming once again a platform for international terrorists to plan and organize attacks on a young man's. so i guess it means more apologies could only be on the way share host. a former governor of afghanistan's gosney province says the actions of

australian forces follow a long running pattern in the coalition. these are something that is very serious and we feel that that is beyond our comprehension. and i'm really appalled for that that. how could anybody in the name of humanity will what even do that, especially with this poor afghan people. and we hope that that will manifest to something real and not only for the australian, but also other nato countries. and also, united states who have committed similar acts in afghanistan also needs to pay heed to this issue and reconcile their own differences that i have done in afghanistan. the world anti-doping agency has blasted the us for a bill to jail those involved in sports doping except in us,

leaks. what i know it's, it will destabilize anti-doping efforts by extending american jurisdiction, giving the countries domestic athletes a free pass. 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 shank 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. 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. its 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 is a member of the n.b.a. all rookie team from the phoenix suns. say hello to deion 3. hello to the right. ok . and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake commercial on the price thanks to you to washington's long made it clear they take doping in sports very seriously. when of course, it suits their agenda. this has nothing to do with the lease welfare or looking after deed is told to do firms. it's talk of going out for the it's not going to vote for the sponsors of the sport. it's simply looking out for the interests of the hollanders, media, and government to do with us,

whether because it was obscene welfare, they would have brought it in across an order to all of the major league sports in america would side of the city to water. but you won't do it because the owners of the 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 indicate whether this is simply of those greed on the dollar. still had on the weekly one coveted related death a minute, a grim record in the u.s. . i tell you how americans are now bracing for stricter lockdowns in the 2nd half of the program. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy one sunday

shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all sides. clearly a dramatic development only loosely, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk.

welcome back. a truce between armenia and azerbaijan continues to hold in the disputed cutback region with russian peacekeepers deployed in the area. those forces are now helping refugees return to their homes. but as our to have found out, it's not an easy homecoming who war may be over. but the humanitarian situation here instapundit here is still dire. scenes like this are repeated hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times across the city and left to their own devices. luger emergency workers would be overwhelmed. this is why russia has sent help aside from peacekeepers who patrol the routes and heights rusher also said civilian rescuers. engineers, father and builders to gauge the devastation and their state made how much aid will

be required. it's neither easy nor quick. let's go for the next one. how many do you have on your list? there are too many. how many have we visited today? about 50, neither is it pleasant. every creator has a story. every destroyed home has its ghosts and with almost every visit, we hear again and again about how a he or a she or all of them died when they were in this room 2 cousins and my grandmother and i was in the room over there, which wasn't destroyed and i fell of my bed, opened my eyes and only saw dust. it took me 5 minutes to crawl out the window. help has come from all over the world, humanitarian organizations, lukoil and russian. rescuers catalog ruin. after wreckage, our 1st task is to cover all the broken windows and glass,

so people can survive the winter. it's some pleasant even scary, had some role in the construction of many of these buildings is painful for the priority now is making catabolic, livable, again, wreckage will be cleared later, but light damage has to be repaired. now people are doing what they cad plastering, move a small holes and covering empty window frames with plastic sheets. but there are lines even for that. my house wasn't hit so bad. last way for new blue, the windows solid for their homes which suffered much worse. really can't complain, the city is slowly coming back to life. the shock of the war ease wearing off and with every returning refugees. there is a sense that the city of state by the character has come back from the dead. but

in every street, there is a somber reminder that life will never be the same. and some people just can't come back every day we drive by this house and it's a sad sight, every time. a dog guarding a house that's been destroyed and a family that isn't there more, i guess d. of from the garden a car bot. the peace deal was signed between armenia and azerbaijan 2 weeks ago, and it ended more than 6 weeks of deadly fighting over the go on a car by region. the territorial feud has been ongoing for almost 30 years now and will hold on to their current military positions. armenia will keep control of the disputed regions. largest cities depend a carrot and azerbaijan will take the 2nd biggest city shushi, which it captured just before the fighting ended. armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts. meanwhile,

police in armenia have detained more than 90 protesters during rallies against the peace deal. demonstrators have been ongoing for 2 weeks, demanding the resignation of the prime minister, that they branded a traitor. but the premier says that he had no other choice but to sign the truce, and that if the conflict continued tens of thousands of armenians would have died, one death due to coated every minute the u.s. is setting ever more worrying records with a 6 month peak of victims reach this week. i mean it's even tougher lockdown restrictions, increasingly likely. and fears of tighter rules have people scrambling to stock up . some supermarket chains already struggling to keep up with high demand, but limits on the number of items shoppers can buy. artist film up and reports on the growing u.s. crisis over the pandemic. the virus giving no sign of a betting many hospitals around the country have been pushed to the brink. one nurse in texas told the horrors of overcrowded morgues. 'd we have never seen,

it's ok for us to be exposed to with doctors. we do not even come in the u.k. . he takes both, but we care a ya make amount of money. in fact, it has gotten so bad that in el paso, texas, its prison inmates who've been given the job of transporting bodies in north dakota . the governor has signed an order saying that medical workers who test positive for coded 19 should still show up for work as long as they're not showing symptoms . nurses are furious. union leaders say this is putting workers in mortal danger. we really feel like it has her mission, patients, even nursing as well. do you really worry about a nurse are now. nurses are exhausted across treating everybody in that passage and having it started, we have asked people to really be heard and your current team and their contact. and i'm confident when we're going to turn around, i'm going to work with that. we are totally counting on the empower,

our respect and credibility that we handle of our community. and, you know, i think, you know, for politicians though the public health crisis is an opportunity to point fingers and blame each other. joe biden blames the coronavirus deaths that have been forecasted for the next few months on donald trump and his refusal to concede the election. furthermore, joe biden is saying that donald trump is the reason that many americans are suspicious of the vaccine, which you see as the biggest threat to your transition right now. given president trump's unprecedented attempt to obstruct and delay a smooth transfer of power, more people may die. the only reason people question the vaccine now is because of the. now polls are showing that only about 58 percent of the american public is willing to get vaccinated. and that is not going to change depending on whether or not donald trump is willing to concede the election results. if i took it, if some people might die again, with the mud down no vaccine. and some people might die in the future. and like in

10 years, so even if it got tested that it was positive and it had no ill effect, i still wouldn't want to take it. i want to see like what the actual effective rate is, how the doses are going to be administered. is it a single dose? is it a 2 dose like how? like what the gap between doses. so just more information in terms of what the actual rollout will be. the covert 19 pandemic has devastated the country both in terms of public health and the economy. there is not much optimism right now, and there's not much hope that a new administration in the white house is going to turn things around. caleb oppen, artsy new york. that's a recount of just some of the stories that helped shape the world these last 7 days for all the latest. and up to the minute reports follow us on twitter or facebook.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guest of the world, the politics school business. i'm show business. i'll see you then is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, community? are you going the right way or are you being led away? what is true? what is faith? in a world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths

or remain in the shallows. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime, but old wounds still haven't healed me from europe to me. coffee to market by war in the us at us is mean older than us. and i think ultimately, you know, cells ins of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption that only feaster to this day mothers still search for grown children, while adults look in hope for their birth parents.

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 all come with different intentions. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year. when those on the committee to get into law school is also not rational thought some of the richest of the it thought that there was at least one police officer for every 200 of the 12000000 residents in russia's capital cost on the wish of the political spectrum. you could look at the, well, now they want to come in without these people in uniform. moscow just couldn't

develop as fast as it does, and it wouldn't be moscow as we know it for a song to be a 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 are conducted in moscow. i don't want to show you know, what the war planes are still have been home.
