mothers still search for grown children. well, for the parents. paris to see is a new wave of civil unrest as the french government pushes for a lawmaking with a criminal offense to publish images of police, our correspondent was caught up in the chaos. we all cells were forcibly shocked out by the police, my cameraman, who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview. and also this hour an australian military

inquiry uncovers a series of horrific killings by the country's forces in afghanistan. dozens of civilians are believed to have been tortured and murdered. 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 an american leaks and rescue workers from countries including russia, help refugees to return to the disputed number in a car bomb and rebuild their lives, but many find their homes in ruins every day drug. why this house and this is sides, every dog house the be destroyed and the family. but isn't this a welcome to the weekly here on r t into national,

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. the new measures would criminalize the filming of officers, if it's done with quote, malicious intent. it's 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 move which includes an element which if cost could make it illegal for people to disseminate to record and publish images of police officers. if there is intent to harm criminalizing soon, all of the could lead to mourning amphoras who are in 845000 euro. thank you. thank you for help. i've seen women having their hay young and being abused to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by police officers, medics being hit by police battens. 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 ejected from that crowd that oh my god, the image is 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 new 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 the 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, members of the press and 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 journalists . 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 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, ridged 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 events, you wouldn't know anything, don't know. you slip into dog,

you know, use in. and that article to any forward, which is part of him, along with the body because in the law is, is detrimental to journalism. there's already c.c.t.v. cameras everywhere. there's people from the ever. 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. according to a new 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, as 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. then there were console, just 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 illiterate go, explains nothing seems to change after each such inquiry. but those coming to fight terror and 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 as i.e. nation 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 apologise 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 for the course of 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 my 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, full pause, we're 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. sure.

coast to former governor of afghanistan's gosney province says the actions of australian forces pose 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 u.s. for a bill to jail those involved in sports doping except in u.s.

leaks. what i know is it will destabilize and i don't think efforts by extending american jurisdiction while giving the country's domestic athletes a free pass. and you do bring agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u.s. support. in particular, the professional leagues in all college sport. if 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 and time doping act of 2019 would 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, it's 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, mary kay. and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake commercial. i was on the pride. that's how you do it. 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 least welfare or looking after us. if it did is we told you, do firms stock looking out for the us is not going to those. and even for the sponsors of the sports, it's simply looking out for the money interests of the hollanders, media,

and government. it's no sin to do without the welfare because if it was a welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports in america would sign of the media to water. but you won't do that because the owners of the big major sports teams and media networks who kovar them and a huge be massive situation of best years in these sports won't happen. so does has nothing to indicate whether this is simply of those greed and the dollar still had in the weekly one kobe had related deaths a minute and were referenced in the us. tell you how americans are now bracing for stricter lock downs and the 2nd half of the program, the 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 by what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics. sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then welcome

back. a truce between armenia and azerbaijan continues to hold in the disputed region with russian peacekeepers deployed in the area. those forces are now helping refugees return to their homes. but as artist mongols have found out, it's not an easy homecoming. the war may be over, but the humanitarian situation here, instapundit here is still dial scenes like this are repeated hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times across the city and left to their own devices. look, emergency workers would be overwhelmed. this is why russia has sent help aside from peacekeepers who patrol the routes and heights. russia also said civilian rescuers, engineers fallen builders. they 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? oh, 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 he were a she were all of them died. they were in this room 2 cousins and my grandmother. 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. i 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. the last way for live blew the windows solid visitor who missed which suffered much worse. really can't complain. the city is sloot 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 dia of from the garden, a car, a bot. the piece still was signed between armenia and azerbaijan 2 weeks ago, and it ended more than 6 weeks of deadly fighting over the no region. the territorial feud has been ongoing for almost 30 years. our crew and hear about it will hold on to their current military positions. under the deal, armenia will keep control of the disputed regions, largest city as well. stop panic, carrot and azerbaijan. it will take the 2nd biggest city shushi, which it captured just before finding ended. armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts in wa police in armenia detained. more than 90 protesters during

rallies against the peace deal. demonstrations have been ongoing for almost 2 weeks, with demands of the resignation of the prime minister, who people have branded a traitor. the premier says that he had no other choice but to sign the truce and that if the conflict means die. one death due to kobe, that every minute the us is something, even more worrying records with a 6 month peak of victims reach this week, that makes even tougher lockdown restrictions increasingly likely and fears of tighter rules, how people scrambling to stock up some supermarket chains already struggling to keep up with demand have put limits on the number of items shoppers can buy. are to scale up on reports on the growing u.s. crisis over the pandemic virus, giving no sign of abetting. many hospitals around the country have been pushed to the brink. one nurse in texas told the worse overcrowded morgues. 'd we have never

says it's ok for us to be exposed, but you have doctors, we do not even come in here. you can't get exposed, but we can make, you know, on a monday. in fact, it has gotten so bad that in el paso, texas, its prison inmates who been given the job of transporting bodies in north dakota. the governor has signed an order saying that met co-workers, who test positive for cold at 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 an issue that patients even nursing as well who really worry about a nurse are now. nurses are exhausted across the street and everybody in that passage and having it started, we have asked people to really stay home and your current teen and their contact and i'm positive and we're going to turn around. i'm going to work with that. we are totally counting on the empower our respect and the credibility that we have

delivered community. you know, i don't hear back from 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 do 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 donald trump. 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,

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 all. 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. art see new york. that's a recap of just some of the stories that helped shape the world these last 7 days. all believe this is an option that reports follow us on twitter or facebook. the world is driven by a dream,

shaped by one person. thinks we dare to ask so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy going for and let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development. the only place really i'm going to resist are those seats. how's that strategy will be successful? very critical. time to sit down and talk.

come on. welcome to worlds apart. for all their differences in style, joe biden, and joel trump nadav directions when it comes to the promises they're making. today, american people acting before a war is building back that are making sure that the rules of international trade on the rigged against us' companies. this is not trump, this is biden, while the differences in style intil have been really up for a major change in u.s. policy. to discuss that, i'm now joined by ploughs larsen professor at the university of north carolina at

chapel hill and aspirate on u.s. foreign policy and transatlantic relations. professor larson, it's good to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. it's a nice to be here. well,, he said recently that whatever are the final results of the u.s., national figure, law abiding will review the asian or policies. because, you know, really means we probably in ha, i'm not, i'm with you don't know what i would add and suggest that there was an almost bipartisan commission or, well, this is big miss it. your milk ad joe biden's least promises, especially in the domestic. they really look like we style the paste role charms label, and the worst of what he needed last michigan's national drape. what sherron you for all that have repudiated interruptions, carrots have the democrats really were exactly that. that's our policy. yeah.

if you would like to disagree, i think you go say see a real shift. i mean, the problem is donald trump was of course and still is that he's not a real democrat if keely authoritarian tendencies. we see that in his refusal to leave the white house to concede the election to joe biden, though it's pretty clear that yes, lost the election. even republican senator now is an indian style of behavior asking, you know, absent of policy. yeah, exactly. and so joe biden, bill has announced he will convene a summit for democracy, so he wants to rally americans and us round table again to really make them more coherent to improve the relationship, particularly the c.e.o. of p. and ls suno. and the relations was in nato. relations was in the e.u. back if straight he had a very hostile,

almost relationship to international folks on.
