to sit down in paris sees a new wave of civil unrest. as the french government pushes for a door, making it a criminal offense to publish. images of police of correspondent was cool top in the chaos we ourselves were fools simply shocked up by the police. my cameraman, who robbed by offices, while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview, illustrated a military inquiry, uncovers a series of terroristic killings by the country's forces and afghanistan. dozens of civilians all believed to have been tortured on the on the wall done to date,

been agency accuses the us of double standards. that's off to the senate passes a bill to jail close behind in school, except in american leaves. hello and welcome. glad you joined us the week here on t.v. . that's when we take a look at the big stories of the pa 7 days on. of course, the very neat wall. one story that definitely grabbed headlines, a french bill intended to protect the police, has sparked outrage and several days of rioting in paris. the new mashup criminalizes, the filming of offices, if it's done with malicious intent. now it's been possible by the national assembly and will need to go up to the senate for approval.

holderness. as you can see, police vehicles are moving down and pushing the protesters down that the street protesters who've come a time came to global security. look to draw. 7 for real that's being discussed in the national assembly on tuesday evening. this is a rule which includes an element which if cost could make it illegal for people to disseminate to record and publish images over police offices. if there is intent to harm criminalizing soon,

all of the could lead to mourning amphoras, who are now 45000 euros. 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 night crowds 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 bus shelters being smashed in. so there is violence on both sides and the government says this new 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 light 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 haven't witnessed them doing anything to deserve some of the violence this evening. john lets on international crisis actions of lashed out,, opt out from security bill. the u.n., in fact, has called it a threat to the freedom of expression. we discussed the reforms with a couple of french journalists. violence may be used within the framework of the law where there is so stiff sentence 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 these 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 see 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 divans, you would know. and if you don't know, you slip into dark, you know, use in and that article 2 of the 4, which is part of a, along with the body cause in a war is detrimental to journalism. there's already c.c.t.v. cameras everywhere. there's people from coming in over the everybody's got a cell phone, you cannot stop people from filming in a straight line and military inquiry has concluded that blood lust and competition

killing may have provoked the country's special forces to dozens of afghan civilians. now some of those horrific case says a paired up being part of an initiation ritual. for new troops. there is 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 and the afghan foreign ministry has described the my this as unforgivable one. call for justice to be stopped. but 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,

but an 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'm sure the same will happen in australia because for them, one of the soldiers is worth a 1000000 afghans. well, they're straight in foreign ministry has written a formal apology to kabul for the atrocities, atrocities rather, but as in europe, a trend cannot explain. such apologies, tend not to result in any real action. 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 a lives curity that you will 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 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, so almost to 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 nato ally wants 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 terrorists to plan and organize attacks on our homelands. so i guess it means more apologies could only be on the way to the big story. the world anti-doping agency has criticised a us bill to jail those involved in sport stripping, except in u.s. leaks. water said it will destabilize global antidoping efforts by giving the country's domestic athletes a free pass world. and you duping 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 chank of act, the right, a chink anti doping act of 2019. which strengthen the integrity of international sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons involved in international doping fraud conspiracy. the act would green light washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players. and it 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 lawbook 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. hello, do you agree? ok. and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake,

commercial eyes on the prize. who that's how you build washington's long made it clear. they take doping in sports very seriously. when of course, the suits their agenda. this has nothing to do with the lease welfare or looking after it did is he told you do firms stuff. i'm going to go for the it's not going to go for the sponsors of the sport. 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 a welfare, they would have brought it in across an order to all of the major league sports in america would side of the media to water. but you won't do that because the owners of the major sports teams and media networks who cover them. huge be massive. it's

yours and investors in these sports won't happen. so this has nothing to indicate whether this is simply about greeks and a dollar plus still had to, has a big drop that i arrived. china is proposing a global queue, all code system to rebound and head travel expert panel delves into the issue off the shelf breaks ground.

we've really settled some of trump's enemies, what the president and his supporters to be a price for the past 4 years. and in rumors of a strong tries to bring troops home some say the start of the war. while china is calling for a so-called, global fire wall to call about the spread of 19 and allow cross border trouble to

resume and as part of its power. president, xi jinping has suggested a global system of china has proposed a clue mechanism for the me true recognition of whole certificates based on nucleic acid test results in the form of internationally accepted q.r. codes. we hope more countries will join this mechanism. well, china has been using q.r. codes to prove health status since february to generate them. users have to install a small phone up, which stores medical data and trucks that movement the system has been questioned in the west on data privacy grounds. although western countries have proposed similar schemes including the idea of immunity, passport in the u.k. . well, we can now bring in dr. john dombrowski from the washington space center jeffrey tucker from the american institute for economic research and lost the sutton or at least my correct involved who is retired professor of liberal studies at new york university. and a very busy man because he's also author of google archipelago,

the digital good luck and the simulation of freedom. or if you very welcome to the program, john, i want to start with you. now, a cynical person would say this is a way of forcing people's hands you want, conform to the rules set by us, all you don't get to live the life that you knew, even though for the majority of people, it's a under the age of $65.00. the survival rate for the virus is only it's above 99 percent. are you one of the 6? i am a very, i'm a big, big cynic about this. i find it very interesting. the c.c.p. is where the virus came from, but now they have a solution in terms of locking down their own citizens. i mean that my work in a communist country, but here in the west where we have freedom of movement, which is a real large tenet of it. i think that's our 1st thing we must think about. the other thing is you have an excellent point for the majority of the population under 70. this is of some virus that has furloughed. i really don't care about cases, i care about the death rate and the death rate is very slow. and again, we have to be very cautious with technology because once we turn the saw,

it's very hard to turn off. i'm very much a skeptic. jeffrey, coming to, you know, i mean the aviation industry as one of the ones that's taken the biggest heads we not only i was reading sat heathrow airport, used to be one of the busiest. it's seen 82 percent fall and passengers. what's the way that to get wheels out into the air, if not a set, a similar system to this? but the real reason that travels collapse is not the pandemic has the lock downs. i mean, since march 12th, europe has not been able to fly to the us and then europe retaliated and we can't fly there. and now we're living under the situation where yeah, we once believed in the right to travel, but that's been denied to us so many people are being locked in their nation states right now. so to me, the answer is no more invasion. morse surveillance and more track and trace which does not work for what is ultimately a very widespread and ultimately very mild respiratory illness. the answer is to,

is, liberalism is to liberate, travel, liberate and recognize human rights again. and this is not consistent with that. you know, this sounds to me almost like a replacement for the national passport. i'm not a big fan of passports anyway. they are came about after world war one, but at least as a constrained by the nation state and don't invade your biology. i mean, this is a global system that would track health and then ultimately of course, political loyalties and you talk about subject to abuse. i mean it's, this is inconceivable system and i hope the rest of the world sees this. and my courts want to sort of extend that forward. do you think we've reached a fork in the road where people have to accept that when some, according an unprecedented health crisis, we need to accept that the way that we lived before is gone. the privacy that we assumed was sacred is no longer sacred. we've reached the fork in the roller,

all right, in that stuff, the 4 between liberation and author are tearing at some. and this is a pretext for china to roll out their kind of politics and surveillance system that is active in their, in their country. bits of the social credit scoring to the rest of the world, one has to wonder what they have in mind here. and one of the trying to accomplish this is very scary in the us because with the supposed the election of joe biden. one wonders just how much he will acquiesce to the chinese and such a system. and it's very disconcerting that something to be very strictly of waited and has to be shut down. we cannot accept this until i want to come back enough seating pegs, idea of q.r. codes for travels, assumes that tests are reliable, but i think one thing we have a lot of credit fires is that we actually know very little about coronavirus, whether that's the vaccine whether that's the testing which brings something like

29 percent of p.c.r. tests or actually false negatives. so how accurate are they ready? how feasible is that? again, i think the bottom line is, is what the other panelist talk about. it's a civil rights, it's a human rights, you know, question and they're using just kept couching, this whole idea of yours safety in terms of an epidemic and for your health, this is a big risk. we're going to get through this and you're right. these tests can be a lot of false negatives. a lot of false positives, and you are now better track and trace me weren't going in terms of this town or that this incredibly dangerous. it is not really for my safety and you're seeing in the united states as well as across the globe. the people are starting to rise up saying enough stop, protecting me. i will live my life the way i'd choose the head of a believer thing in denmark where the people said no more lockdowns here in california, 20000000 people have gone to the guy. we're done. so we're going to use

a closer glue. i think jeffrey, i want to have picking up on the idea of track can trace, i mean, the idea of the word trace sends shivers down a lot of people, spines anyway. but will also what happens often with all of that information is being conveyed to the lot of people say, you know what, i'm just, it's a temporary, i'm just giving up my freedoms for now, but alter this is i don't come back to me. but do you think that governments are going to be willing to relinquish the control that many say they've imposed? they will never relinquish. i mean passports during world war one were supposed to be temporary and bristol stuck with them. you don't want to say something about this piece here are false positive problem. there is a study out of china that where there were 10000000 people in one hand, they were examined. these chinese scientists actually published this in nature magazine just 2 days ago. and what was remarkable about this is out of everything they examined, they found, saw many cases as so-called asymptomatic, covered 19,

but not one single case out of $10000000.00 subjects of study of asymptomatic transfer. so no that was a sympathetic spread which is extraordinary. discovery would sink what that means in terms of q.r. code. ok, you get a p.c.r. test, you test positive, you don't feel sick, but they're saying, oh, you're sick, you can't fly. well, a study right out of china published 2 days ago. apparently, you know, find 0 evidence of any possibility, or at least this just say it didn't happen of asymptomatic spread of the disease. so what it means is the possibility of states to, to ban you from moving places, even though you're not sick, even though the science doesn't back it. even there's no basis whatsoever for in this track and trace stuff going on, i think is just extraordinary. the study came out 2 days ago from all harm, and it completely undermines the basis for this new system. and what i want to ask you, she didn't think also spoke about the need for standardized policy. do you think

that we do need a cohesive global policy in order to try and move on somehow to try make 2021 better than 2020? absolutely not. there have been studies that show that the virus responds differently in different regions, that there are different conditions in different places based on population base, climate and so forth. so now we don't want the local standards because global standards means that global matan, a fact, this is just believe all this is just a pretext for an extension of state power to extraordinary lengths that have never really been tried before. i think it's just an amazing attempt at a power grab on the part of china in order to control citizens worldwide. and john, i want to ask you though, i was reading how

a lot of countries governments are coming out. and this is concerning, a lot of people is this idea of a mandatory vaccine. do you think something like the q. walk? it could be seen as a sipri slope to something like that. of course it is, we should never mean the anything with respect to every human being has a right to being treated or not treated. and we have the right to accept risk in our lives. we do this all the time. and why is this thing any different to your point? and the pain was of brought this out, 90000000 percent non-lethal. so one way to vaccine is something that i don't believe is going to be an omega risk for. now granted, perhaps of older folks and might be a 93 percent chance of survival. well, the way to take that chance, but that is my choice, not the government's choice to do that or to restrain my movement based upon my actions as a human being. and my push and what this, because we've seen viruses come and go once is any different. and again we have had an important for 8 months consistently. we have lost track of the science. we have

lost track of questioning things. if we question things we are, we're going to be deniers, size 0, always questions, things we always do to make sure are we on the right track and find it very quickly, unforeseen, we're running out of time, but i want to ask you, jeffrey, do you think that we're going to see that people will just sign up to these apps and they'll get these vaccines potentially, if they become simply because otherwise they would be barred from public life. now it, well, i agree with the other panel that i think there's a revolt brewing right now. 2 thirds of americans have already said that they don't have any interest in this vaccine because they don't feel like they need it. and the other problem is, is, is actually a very difficult one. cupboard is especially fatal for people with broken immune systems. if your immune system doesn't work, the vaccine won't work either. so there's no way a government can know who should and should not have this vaccine that has to be

left up to the individuals. and i must tell you americans that i think it's the same thing is true and, and the u.k. very sensitive to this idea that government is going to force you to, you know, jab, jab your skin to public. it should be left to individual choice. and i think if governments push this thing, i'm sorry, sorry allegations, going to go over the edge. i do apologize. we've run out of time. i really appreciate to talk to john tom frosty, jeffrey tucker, and my correct involved. thanks so much. when we bought at the top of the pandemic, notice, you know, blood is just flying to nationalities is a word with the we don't

judge, you know commentary. this is what we can do better. we should everyone is contributing each of our own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges created with the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. newly elected u.s. presidents invariably vell to steer the country in a fresh, bold direction. this time though, 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 on the global stage.
