join me every thursday on the alex, i'm unsure, and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm showbusiness. i'll see you then. 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 will pull simply shocked by the police. my cameraman grabbed by opus's while he was filming, while we were trying to do, we need to do, you know, stroll in 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. 'd of double standards after the senate passes a bill to jail those doping in sports except in american leagues of broadcasting live there, of course it is in moscow. this is our international. i'm sean thomas with us as we recap. the week's top stories with our weekly program, a friendship bill intended to protect the police, has sparked outrage and several days of rioting in paris. the new measure, criminalizes the filming of officers, if it is done with malicious intent, it has been passed by the national assembly and will later go 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, i'm can't to global security lure to draw. 7 from 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 of police officers. if there is intent to harm criminalizing chanelle 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 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. 7 ok, the image is over, the police are protests, have been used time and time again,

showing 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 far as 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 haven't witnessed them doing anything to well deserve some of the violence. this evening. journalist and international organizations have lashed out at the french security bill. the u.n. has called it a threat to freedom of expression. we discussed reforms with french journalists. violence may be used within the framework of the law where there is self defense, or if the use is strictly necessary and proportionate. and but only only the possibility of filming freely without constraints gives these guarantees. but the rockets are 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 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 benar, the bodyguard of president mccall, or you would have george floyd if people did not film those events. you would know . and if you don't know, you slip into dark areas in and that, that article to me for which is part of a, along with the body cause or not war is, is detrimental to journalism. there's already c.c.t.v. cameras everywhere. there's people from coming ever. everybody's got a cell phone. you cannot stop people from filming. in military inquiry has concluded that the blood lust and competition killing may have provoked the country special forces to murder dozens of afghan civilians. some of those horrific cases appeared to have been part of an 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 has been forgivable and called for justice to be served. but for many afghans already scared 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. an apology is not the solution. the afghan government must make

sure that no foreign soldier can get away with killing afghans. then there would console just killed many afghans in the past, and the us would condemn the actions of its soldiers. but then do nothing about it . i'm sure the same will happen australia, because for them, one of the soldiers is worth a 1000000. afghans like the australian foreign ministry has written a formal apology to kabul for the atrocities. but as our comments, 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 live all 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. range 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 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 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 law. so well the latest report that left the aussies red faced lead twinning, strategic consequences and military mindset. u. turns well, 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 $1000.00, we could be very high in afghanistan. risk becoming once again a platform for international terrorists to plan and organize attacks on a hunger. so i guess it means more apologies could only be on the way. sure. costy, former governor of afghanistan's gazan 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 and the name of humanity will leave and 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 difference is that i have done in afghanistan. the world anti-doping agency has criticised the us bill to jail those involved in sports doping except in us leagues . water said it will destabilize global anti-doping efforts by 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 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 chank of act, the rather anti doping act of 2019,

which strengthened the integrity of international sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons involved in international doping fraud. conspiracy. the act with green light, washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players and it outlines some have to be penalties, fines of up to $1000000.00 as well as prison sentences of up to 10 years. a dream come true for the usa today. it is a monumental day in the fight for clean sport worldwide, and we look forward to seeing the act soon become law and help change the game for clean athletes for the good. considering how the u.s. is treated domestic doping in the past. the log book could probably use of updates take julian edelman, the patriots shining star and super bowl m.v.p. his career seen some great achievements with a little help from dope patriots 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 de andre 18 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 the right . and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake, commercial ties on the prize. thanks to you, bill 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 welfare or looking after teens. if it did, it would be totally different. stocks are 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 and there's media and government. it's nothing to do with r.c. whether because it was welfare, they would have brought it in across the board. all of the major league sports in america would sign of the beast into water, but you won't do it because the owners of the big major sports teams, media networks who cover them. and this huge be massive, is shushan investors in these sports won't happen. so this has nothing to indicate whether this is simply about greed and a dollar a truce between armenia and azerbaijan continues to hold in the disputed

region with the russian peacekeepers deployed in the area as well. those forces are now helping refugees return to their homes. but it's on tuesday, but i've got to found out. it is 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 rusher also said civilian rescuers, engineers, father and builders. they gauge the devastation and they're still 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 whom has its ghosts and with almost every visit, we hear again and again about how a he or a she were. all of them died when 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 prove that my house wasn't hit so bad. they've lost way for a new blue that we knew saw it, but they were houmous 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 d. of from the garden, a car, a 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 not go to know kind of back region. the territorial feud had been going on for almost 30 years about coup and you have and will hold on to their current military positions. armenia will keep control of the disputed regions, largest city, it's the public, eric and azerbaijan will take the 2nd biggest city shushi which captured just before fighting ended. armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts as well. meanwhile, police in armenia have detained more than 90 protesters during rallies against the peace deal. demonstrations have been ongoing for almost 2 weeks now, demanding the resignation of prime minister nicola pasha, young,

who they have branded a traitor. but the premier says he that he had no choice but to sign a truce, and that if the conflict had continued tens of thousands of armenians would die. world leaders have called for a united response to the pandemic at the g 20 summit, which has just drawn to a close the 2 day gathering of the world's largest economies was held by video link for the 1st time. and it was hosted by saudi arabia, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the g. 20. together. those countries make up 85 percent of the global economy. in a closing declaration, they pledged to help low income countries deal with the economic impact of covert 1000 and support the distribution of fordable vaccines. earlier my colleagues ask you, taylor discussed a range of issues with saudi arabia's permanent president, permanent resident, excuse me, permanent representative. to the united nations in your country's hosting,

of the summit hasn't been without control the sea to national noted that women's empowerment features predominantly on the g 20 agenda. despite the fact that act davis have spared had to campaign for women's right languishing in jail facing trial, that's that quote. what's your response to the odds? the strides that have been made by saudi arabia over the past few years are impeccable and unprecedented. we have more opportunities for women economically for women in the workplace, in the field of education, in many aspects of common life in places of leadership, in government and in business. and it's got to be judged by the situation over a few individuals who have come across the law and have being held under the procedures of the legal system. in his opening speech, king solomon said the country's need to create the conditions for affordable and

equitable access to covert faxon's. could you tell us a little bit about your country's efforts to achieve that goal? we committed $500000000.00 to do that, and we also made addition contributions to the world health organization. and we will continue to, to help in the development in with the companies that are working again. but he says that is being made of a lot to me. a person also said in his summit speech that vaccines should be the property of all of humanity and that russia is willing. and it's not the fast time it's about to provide countries in need, without facts and with saudi arabia be one of those. and does it support a global program like that? we would certainly be a party to, to that effort. and if any vaccine is developed, it's other events will also be made available to the entire world. i also want to talk a little bit about international relations abidin in the pasta house. cool to saudi

arabia, a quote, pariah state, and not launching a for the long running military campaign in yemen. how is saudi arabia going to deal with such, anita? well, i'm sure the we will be developing stronger relationship with mr. biden's ministration in the same manner. that's we have developed good as strong relations with tens of administrations before that we have declared that one sided ceasefire several times in yemen, talking about the syrian situation and the threats of famine. all of that is happening on the territories controlled by the school fees because of the fact that they're hitting and obstructing the delivery of international aid to the, to the said fictive areas. back in march, we saw that was an oil price down to off between moscow and riyadh. and the result was that must come and aipac failed to agree on a production caught which led to a crash in the global price of crude. many people worried,

how can such disputes be avoided all prevented in the future? i think let's go to the nation is taking place between the kingdom and the russian federation. and we have all of proven to ourselves add to the entire war and that cooperation and understanding achieves better results than confrontation and going it alone. and i think that relations with russia on a good standing on the oid front and on many other fronts as well. let's talk back there that does it for me and that the weekly my colleague neil harvey will be here in, let's say, 34 and a half minutes with a full and fresh look at your news. this is our team match with nothing really settled, some of trump's enemies want, the president and his supporters to be

a price for the past 4 years against in rumors of war as strong tries to bring troops home. some say he needs to start a war don't walk by wagon that you will go back to life or your life will pull you out of the museum. what about and i didn't do it will always be good. is it also from home on a profitable little bitty until you keep it or don't or don't let you come up looking to do good. come on down your mouth and get up on livin. i'm abbott. that grandma gum on the numbers i'm going on a number i was going to. but oh,

november bit of us in the eyes of them, they're gonna do. what about nanami them without being as high as it is about the world is driven by shaped by those thinks we dare to ask the people

i mash unit and say we're going on the run 24 hours after voters headed to the ballot box in. but kino 1st presidential election that made i.m.f. reviews of its economy that could see its country's future pegged to a biden presidency coming up on the show. as neoliberal nations look to a coronavirus vaccine to save their economies from potential collapse. we asked the director general of the international vaccine institute about the global efforts to vaccinate the entire world, including africa with a growing a virus has been far less deadly than in europe. and will a global mental health crisis be the next pandemic. we'll ask c.e.o. of the center for mental health about a surge in mental health issues as a result of coronavirus and why it's just proportionally affecting the poor in society. all the more coming up in today's going underground a 1st, it's been a whole year since the 1st identified case of coronavirus was reportedly detected

in who by a province in china and for many months big pharmaceutical companies have been racing to find a vaccine. now, big pharma companies, as well as some politicians or from them, are arguably set to cash in big as the long awaited immunizations. start to roll out. joining me now via skype from seoul is one of the world's leading vaccine experts director general of the nonprofit international vaccine institute. dr. jerome kim. thanks so much room for coming on. you going to tell me what is the international vaccine institute and why it is that nonprofit institutions like yours have failed to find the vaccine. and it's the big multinational, big pharma companies like pfizer that have been so successful companies, i should say that to be in the hit by scandal. well, so you know, the, an international actually missed 2 years, an international organization. kind of like to be a show you're $36.00, signatories not a single g 7 signatory, but our mission is to discover, develop and deliver safe, affordable and effective vaccines for global health. and actually, what we did during this pandemic is to say, we're not going to compete,

have our own back seen. it makes kind of companies uncomfortable when we tell them it's, we're working on our own back, seem to say what we decided was to support companies which every company came to us for assistance, helping them with assays with animal studies, with clinical trials, with regulatory pathways, anything that we needed to do in order to advance a vaccine as quickly as possible. so in a sense, if the world wins that i.b.i. wins, and that was our strategy, that being advocates of free market, big pharmaceutical companies will say, the, on your or your a strategy failed. it is pfizer astra zeneca, those big multinationals that create the vaccines no, into your a un mandated vaccine institute. so actually, you know, our vaccines institute is, is funded really by, you know, the governments of korea, sweden, india, and finland and the gates foundation.
