the filming of the way russia brokered peace isn't a life. it's

the president elect is packing his cabinet with a very good morning to you, and thanks for joining us on the rocks public under the controversial bill. it forbids the filming of offices for

let's go live now to paris. r.t. correspondent, shala do piskies there, covering this story for us. seems like the french public are often out on the streets and happy about something or another. once again, this is the case and it's use of spread to several cities. yes, that's right. these protests have been building now for the last few weeks. and on tuesday night, as the assembly members, the parliamentarians here in france decided to pass that law, which means it's passed its 1st hurdle in becoming an official law. here in france, more protests were held across the country city such as paris, where thousands of people turned out to show their ease with this law. this is the global security law, a part of it. article $24.00 is particularly controversial, and that's because it will criminalize the publication, the broadcast of images of the police where they can be identified in certain

circumstances where there is an intent to harm them. now that would be punishable if this becomes an official law in france by a year in prison or 45000 euro fine. so a pretty hefty sort of result, if you walk criminalized for doing that. now journalists, groups, and n.g.o.s have been hugely critical of this draft law saying this is century gives the green light for police to stop the journalists from doing their jobs from covering things like protests and showing problems where there has been violence by, the police against protesters there's also been criticism from the u.n., which said this could damage democracy, and the e.u. has said it is imperative that news media are able to do their job freely. now the government defends this law saying it's needed to protect police officers from harm

at a time when there is unprecedented violence towards the police. the police unions have said, this doesn't go far enough, but the country's prime minister talking about this as it was being discussed at the national assembly on tuesday evening, said why he thought the tax little was excellent. he himself would be referring this to france's highest court when it comes to constitutional matters. he bought it, i would like to say here as clearly as possible that there has never been there isn't and will never be the intention of the government to fringe in any shape or form. press freedom and freedom of expression. well, in leone, where thousands of people gathered for that protest on tuesday evening tear gas was once again used to disperse the crowds. many suggesting that despite the assurances

from the prime minister from the government, that this war will have an impingement when it comes to freedom of the press. let's have a listen to what some of the protesters have to say. but obviously we're very, very angry with the system which favors the police which protects them. this is going to worsen the problem. we're going to be even less free and they will have even more, right, do whatever they want. the match is not over the bill. now has to go through these summits, and we've seen that despite everything, several employees from the majority, hesitating to support the bill. after seeing what happened yesterday at the migrants rally in paris, the protest here had a particular focus and that was on the vents that unfolded on monday evening when police used what was described as brute force and violence to dismantle a migrant camp in the city. now during that dismantlement,

there are images that have been put, cautioning journalists and migrants were attacked by police officers. and that is what many people say brings this entire law into question. the interior minister himself said he was shocked by those images. he's ordered an investigation, but people might say, if it wasn't for the fact that people had been broadcasting that had been able to film those events unfolding freely, would an investigation 1st of all have been called. would anybody been alerted to the fact that there were problems at that dismantling of a migrant camp, or would an investigation be able to identify police officers who perhaps taken the law into their own hands? so lots of questions still remaining about this mall as women. it's been passed by the national assembly, meaning this whole hurdle is over, but it will now go to the senate in 2021 with course it could be rejected or it could be passed on to become an official law. here in france,

a fascinating story will watch keenly to see developments shala do with the update from paris. thank you. meanwhile, a manual veer. that's the secretary general of france's national journalists union said that the bill itself amounts to censorship. but there's the question of censoring journalists, even self-censorship is now as urgent as ever. journalists are constantly being pressured already and they have a difficult job. we're not saying that police officers have an easy profession. but if someone through filming or something else encroaches on the honor of an officer, the measures are already spelled out in the criminal code. why add something else to it? we see this is an attempt to put additional censorship on journalists. this profession has been under pressure for more than one year through various laws, the laws on commercial secrets of the law on fake news, and also summoning journalists to find out their sources. this is all well known

and we try to convey to the minister that it's time to pay attention to france's image abroad. in the meantime, the french president has announced that the country will start to ease its lockdown this weekend. the situation remains critical with hundreds of virus related deaths each day, many microns that everything would be done to prevent a so-called, 3rd wave. lord, true or not most don't, but the return to normal will not be for tomorrow. we can, i'm convinced control the epidemic over time. and the same time we have to face and on which precedent to economic concerns will crisis, is the consequence of the 1st confinement and of what we are going through. i told you last year like the cross is likely to get even worse, but we have an answer to provide. we did it from the start. from saturday, businesses will start to reopen over the lock down will remain in place. it will only be lifted in mid december, only if delhi infections drop to 5000 bars,

restaurants and cafes, they will have to remain closed right through the christmas period and only reopen in late january. that is, when schools and universities will also resume in person teaching a local mayor who we got chance to speak to is feeling positive about the proposed plan. these announcements are good because at least they give us a schedule. so french citizens can no longer cope with a complete absence over the long term plan. since the beginning of the 1st stage of self isolation, people made plans only for one day. nobody could adapt. people shouldn't be told they need to get through a difficult time, but you need to know we for getting out of this situation. the murderer president's speech is that he defied 3 goals. in this case, even with all possible reservations, we hope that we will be able to avoid a new 3rd wave of self isolation. turning now to the united states where president elect joe biden formally announced his

national security team picks on tuesday. the choice of era warhawks for top jobs at the white house has been criticised by peace groups and human rights activists. libertarian has more, america's foreign policy needs to be properly fixed after 4 years of diplomatic crack says one who says the man whose own white house mistakes, as donald trump saw them, were thorley taken care of by the outgoing administration. the time has come for the u. turn to go full circle. there's been some damage done. that is going to take some time to dig ourselves out of. but there's no doubt that joe's got the right people to do it. the man taking over the oval office in 2021 was president obama's number 2. so who are the best people to set these apparent wrongs? right. well, the former deputies of obama's team, of course, how easy,

i'm really starting to get that joke that barack scott himself a 3rd term. let's take a look at the collective portrait of a deputy dream team. one squad member clearly thinks it was the meddling russians who god, donald trump, elected in the 1st place. jake sullivan biden speak for national security advisor. this was a moment where we realized that the russians had decided that they were going to actively interfere in the u.s. election. that they were going to intensively work to undermine the pillars of u.s. democracy. and that they were going to try to defeat hillary clinton. if it wasn't for the russians, if you know what i mean, this career boost would have come much earlier. after all, mr. sullivan served as an advisor for the hillary clinton campaign. and yes, he worked as a national security advisor to the vice president biden. and here we're looking at someone who was all for upping u.s. involvement in syria. tony blinken,

the new man taking care of america's foreign relations in syria. it's tougher, it's longer. it's going to take time to build up the syrian opposition, but we believe it can be done. our commitment is to help them to support them, to give them the training, to give them the equipment to give them the air, the power, to give them the advisor. and it all comes back to hillary, who, infamously said this about libya. we came, we saw he died, right. as you may have guessed, mr. blinken was among the star democrat diplomats who love the idea of getting libya sorted through intervention. his c.v. highlights include deputy secretary of state deputy national security advisor and national security advisor to the vice president. so moving on with deputy dream team, you simply don't deserve the position of intelligence director under joe biden. if you haven't been to a big name blood, say in the cia under obama, without further ado. here's avril haynes,

the former deputy cia director also happened to serve as the deputy national security advisor right after tony blinken. some give ms. hanes credit for making america's drone wars more transparent. her critics though, paint her with a different brush focusing on her role as the architect of the drone program. one which is associated with scores of civilian deaths. a slight stain on the record, isn't it? any great team deserves at least a few qualified veterans. this one is no exception. take john kerry, he's getting his comeback. chance to the job of special presidential envoy for climate goes to the former secretary of state. bear with me for a bit of feedback on the team from someone familiar. the incoming administration could not have chosen that to pursue now for the foreign policy and national security teams. ok, at least there are no surprises,

and the world knows what to expect. well, the libertarian parties, 2025 presidential candidate spike cowen believes they knew by the ministration will be more aggressive in its foreign policy, but not to the benefit of ordinary americans. i think if you like the continued expansion of u.s. imperialist foreign policy, then this is a dream team for us. we got tony blinken, we got michelle flournoy, avril haynes and others who served under the obama administration. and while they were there, they were the main cheerleaders for the expansion of the war in iraq, the involvement and expansion of the war in syria. the continuation of the u.s. sponsored genocide in yemen and the involvement and invasion of libya by the us military. if you want more dead u.s. troops and dead people overseas, if you want more trillions of dollars being run up in debt to continue this empire imperial system going, then this would be the ideal pick for us in general. if you just talk about the

subject of us foreign policy, the average american wants the wars to end, the average american wants the troops to come home. the average american doesn't think that the u.s. military should be used as the world's police or that it's done a good job at it, or that it done anything other than lead to an increasing number of veterans coming home with, you know, p.t.s.d. and other chronic health problems and not to mention the measurable suffering and harm that's being done overseas. so the average american wants this to end whether that will play out or not. and in public outcry about that remains in another district of the disputed nickel and a kind of creature has been handed over to as a. by the last, i mean insult, just left the area as part of russia broke at payscale, the before troops abandon the positions civilians fled the war. auntie's monika's, the if tells the story of some of those. the conflict has left us everywhere you go . there is only desolation, despair, empty, burnt, and abandoned villages. rusty trucks palled with furniture, clothes,

and who police souls. there's no one left but the awed, desperate stragglers. it's so painful, unbearably painful, your entire life. you have been billed in step by step, trying to make it a little more comfortable so you get something good sound only a tool has just disappeared. gun lit and her husband igor, for 17 years have made a hard living in the mountains raising cattle. when the barrow visited by john, the artillery became too much, they left everything but they shipped a dog and fled. as did everyone they returned to find the village empty bund and looted, littered with dead pets and animals who starved to death when the humans left. those that survived came begging for food and the

film limited, the eagle for 3, desperate days, as they try to salvage what they could of their old lives belongings. they feel even empty barrels. things that many of us would see as trash, anything that would help them start over. there's no choice for armenians to stay after the region has had to do that too. is it about john? they claim it could be that death sentence. if a dog is killed or mistreated in europe, the whole world condemns it to me. what was our crime? what did we do that no one even objected to all the civilians been killed here. where all the humanitarian groups, the touchline style over anything but have done nothing about the massacre here says the engine on a little, it was forced out of her home twice during the war in the ninety's, when both meenie and as it about john accused each other of massacres and ethnic cleansing, the both denied it. this is the 3rd time she's lost,

the house. she isn't a hateful person. she's 62, i was a mother. most people would burn their houses so no. is it about johnny gets it? she couldn't stomach the thought. yes, i don't want to burn down my house if someone wants it, let them have it. even burn it for fun. so my children were born in this house. they grew up on the east roof. i can't. i can't burn that in my life. all the good and all the bad. it was all here me mussy day to relieve in tomorrow. as soon as i don't know who will get the house to hell with them. i'm here to learn. it might sound a little it couldn't bear to watch. we found a weeping behind. the house is the flies spread. what do you call this?

is it sad? is it devastated? having to burn down the house you built? you loved, you tended and raised 3 children in the 17 years because of the shape of your face, the color of your skin, your creed, your culture, your faith. everyone here understands what's happening. this is the price i mean, eons of paying for backing doubt, accepting peace terms. despite their resistance, the thousands dead may have prevented a massacre and preserve some territories. but political eagle, it was the end of life as they knew it. everything they've moved and gone is nothing comforting you can say nothing to ease or del that pays. it's terrible to think anyone driving but to them. this is just another house. they won't even bat

an eye. off the rule. dozens and dozens of villages have burned over the past week . of course, the season just another house. it had a knife. it was happen, it's in there was joy. it was he is, and there was sadness. now, it's all over. the more i guess the of from kind of region i was headed by john the un, the place and be along over the pandemics. detrimental impact on children's lives. opinion more on that story after this break 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 so direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or a maybe in the shallows. now for the post-mortem. how did you major political parties change to this election cycle? can joe biden maintain an already weakened and divided democratic coalition? is there such a thing as trump is? did he change the g.o.p. or did the g.o.p. change?

welcome back to the cove at 19 economy, the impact of log down on the new normal to some of the discussion points on the latest installment of r.t. america. host ben swan's online show is a preview throughout human history. herd immunity has been developed by populations. it's how humans survive the idea. now that the only way herd immunity can be reached obviously can be helped by a vaccine. but the only way it can be reached is through a vaccine. it just seems to me to be maybe the ultimate twisting of science. the strangest thing about 2020 is that we've pretend as if the immune system, you know, doesn't exist, nor, which is very strange because this is an existing out all the knowledge we've had for a 100 years. it's like it's suddenly gone. and we think that the only cure for diseases

for people to sit in labs and concoct some potion that they're going to inject into us and do things go back to normal. because there are a lot of people who, as we said, are suspicious of vaccines to begin with. but they're also suspicious that things are not going to necessarily become better based upon the usage of that vaccine or things will never of the normal confirmations. the rest of society to small businesses who suffer from this turn of a lot of doctors who suffer from every day through after their hols, these important groups of people will get better. what do you believe is the answer moving into the, into this year and going into 2021 for people who say enough is enough. what we have been told has not been working. if you want to suppress the epidemic, some form of social restriction until we get that seen is it is inevitable.

otherwise we will get rapid growth. the promise that we keep hearing from leaders is it, once we get the vaccine, things well, you know, go back to normal. can we trust even the word normal? but don't even with the vaccine, the virus isn't going to go away. and i suspect, you know, i've been saying our grandchildren's grandchildren will certainly experience the infection. the w.h.o. for their part has come out and said that the coronavirus lockdowns globally have contributed to quite possibly a doubling of global poverty. any demick that kills more than a 1000000 people is going to generate economic hardships. anyway, the issue is how you manage that in a way that the epidemic doesn't actually by itself, destroy the economy. but at the same time, those restrictions do the least harm to the economy and that's

a difficult balancing act. in the meantime, the world is a year now into the covert crisis, and scientists are still debating the best response to what is happening and holkins that through the options. it's almost a year since the coronavirus entered our lives, and it's in no hurry to leave. everyone's affected in some way, and everyone seems to have become one hours of our ologist over the last 11 months . but how well do you really know your facts? and what are the experts saying? let's test your knowledge if there's one a symbol of 2020, it's the mask from moscow to madagascar government. some mandating wearing masks in one way or the other. just days ago, a scientific study in denmark, concluded mosques offer little protection for healthy individuals. and the study gives an indication of how much you gain from wear in the mosque, not a lot. so when you finally throw that mask away, not so fast. here's

a japanese study that states the opposite. we found that cotton masks, surgical masks, and 95 masks all have a protective effect with the respect to the transmission of infected droplets. aerosols of sars cove to both studies are reputable, and published by qualified professionals. they just come up with different conclusions and that's the problem. when it comes to any research on covert, you can find a study that will prove all disprove almost anything. how long is a piece of string? here's what the u.s. center for disease control has to say earlier, a system surfaces and the objects nature alludes to within hours to do is slightly ambiguous, but not a disaster. until you read a study by a stray as national science agency, which gives coded lifespan of 28 days in some cases. so i guess there's no right

answer. well, what about the incubation period? here's a little clue. the in commission period, you're referring to is anything can be anything between $1.14 days. commonsense 14 days is usually the maximum period. most countries around the world have quarantined new arrivals. all those potentially infected. so we all know this one. right, seems i got that one wrong as well. researches at trinity college dublin say the danger period could last up to 34 days. but let's get back to basics. we all know that smokers are more at risk of suffering complications from covert. here's a study our study provides evidence supporting the utilization of smoking cessation programs, especially in younger populations, as part of a strategy to minimize the adverse consequences of the covered 19 pandemic, common knowledge. after all, we all know that smoking is bad for you. so is it time you put that cigarette out?

apparently some research is in france, this agree claiming nicotine is the answer. just to be clear, we obviously don't condone smoking or drugs. so as we approach the one year mark in a covert buy endemic the best scientific minds in the world are united in their mission, billions of dollars thrown into research. all we any closer to seeing the back of this disease. it seems, despite all our best efforts that family get away, will have to wait a little longer. and united nations agencies warning that the younger are being forgotten when it comes to the global battle against the pandemic. it's an issue we discuss with a senior unicef official. i think the immediate response, of course, is what will and i make our most hitting at all populations and the elderly with interactive fax was the appropriate response message from unicef. is that as

countries are preparing their response plans to the pandemic and making sure that they pay attention to those hardest hit by the infection itself, that they don't lose sight of making sure that essential services that children and mothers depend upon that they're not severely disrupted because that's what's really leading to these higher numbers of deaths and also to bear in mind that a lot of the economic consequences that will cause a increase in poverty, which disproportionately affects children. unicef outlined some of the worst aspects in this report. it found a 15 percent rising young people living in poverty worldwide predicting also the lives of around $2000000.00 children under 5 could be lost in the next 12 months. it also estimated the education of all the $1500000000.00 schoolchildren would be hit, and a harris, who again pleased that the level of teaching should remain the same throughout the pandemic. i think the key is keeping the population safe,

so mitigation measures are extremely appropriate, but at the same time we need to be working at innovation so that we can add, make sure that children are connected through the digital platforms and that they need to make sure that they're still in school, there are reports that looking across and under 19 live in different instances that there wasn't an increase in infection through school openings, although there are variances depending upon the degree of 2 h.t. schools have been able to implement mitigation measures. so i think it's on the one hand, there needs to be more review of school systems that have done things in a way that is reduced infection risks or if infection or both teachers and for students. and that government should also at the same time take a look at making sure that.
